I once ended up in an AirBnB that had large cockroaches that came out at night (and landed on the bed, freaking my wife out). Called AirBnB at 2AM, they asked for proof (sent them a video). Finally, at 5AM I told them that we were leaving.
They just cancelled the reservation, giving us no chance to leave a review. AFAIK, that host is still renting out her cockroach-riddled place in Oahu.
- goodcanadian 9y agoI've lived in Hawaii. Unfortunately, there is not a lot you can do about the cockroaches. You can keep things as clean as possible, but there will always be a few. Especially, after it rains, they tend to come indoors where it is dry. I would just try to smash them, so they didn't start breeding in my house. EDIT: I did not witness your Airbnb, of course; it is entirely possible that the place was infested. I was just put in mind of a friend who freaked out when she saw one single cockroach and told us our place was infested.
- 1024core 9y agoThe place was at fault. There were crumbs in the edges of the floor in the kitchen and other nooks and crannies. If you don't want insects infesting your place, you should keep it clean and not feed them. I stayed in other AirBnBs too, and never saw cockroaches that size and in those numbers.
- mrgordon 9y agoI would have followed up with that concern.
