Should I leave a review?
I typically use Airbnb and only leave reviews if they’re positive. First time using vrbo and considering leaving a review but worried that it’ll affect the host negatively. The rental was basically a small log cabin in the countryside. It had everything you needed and looked like the pictures. The only problem was the amount of bugs there were. Now I understand that some bugs are inevitable and expected in the countryside. However, it seemed there was no effort to minimize the amount of pests that got in. There were a lot of earwigs and small spiders, one almost crawled onto my leg when I was sitting on the sofa. I also killed a giant brown spider - research says it’s very unlikely to be venomous in this location but that was still unpleasant to deal with. I’m also pretty sure that it dropped an egg sac which bursted after I opened my suitcase on it (so fucking gross). Now probably the biggest health concern were two bird droppings that I found in the cabin (very likely to be birds since it had that white part in the poop). These droppings occurred during my stay as they were not there when I got there. One fell on the sofa and another on the carpet. I’m not sure if these fell through the roof of if there was an opening for the birds to get in. I just feel like if you’re charging a close to $600 for three nights this shouldn’t be happening. It would be a good place if the hosts addressed the pest situation. Should I leave a review politely mentioning this point or just leave it as is? They have less than ten reviews and they are all great 😐
