"They compared this to staying at a detention centre. The rules reportedly included no cooking, no washing, and only turning the heating on in the winter for 90 minutes in the morning and two hours in the evening. There were also a number of additional fees such as £50 for call outs, £20 per day for parking and a £200 fee for a lost key or for smoking outside."
"'I booked a room in shared house last minute and it looked decent with a 4.7 score. 'It mentioned a kitchenette, fridge, freezer and free parking. 'I admit, I didn't scroll down to the bottom of the page to search for the hidden fine print because I never had any issue with this before.' But when the booking was complete, the user said they received an automatic message with a list of 'house rules'."
A guest booked a shared-room Airbnb that advertised a kitchenette, fridge, freezer, and free parking but later received restrictive house rules. An automatic message listed rules that prohibited cooking and washing and limited heating to 90 minutes in the morning and two hours in the evening during winter. Additional penalties included £50 call-out fees, £20 per day parking charges, and £200 fees for a lost key or for smoking outside. The guest requested cancellation or a shortened stay because the rules were unsustainable for a longer-term booking. Both requests were refused, prompting the guest to compare the rules to detention-centre conditions.
