My family spent a week in an AirBNB in Europe. After leaving that apartment and continuing our vacation, we got the “leave a review” email so I was honest: great location, nice host, shower did not drain, and I felt stray voltage when using the washer and dishwasher. While running the dishwasher on the last day, I got a painful shock. Not a tingle. Not static electricity. A real zap. Some of the outlets were not properly secured to the wall, so they moved when plugging in or removing devices.

Fast forward a few hours and I get a canned response from AirBNB regarding safety issues and the owner asked me about the issues (I mentioned them to him before we left) because AirBNB flagged this unit and cancelled pending bookings until he got an electrician to certify the safety of the appliances. Owner gave me grief for costing him so much money and inconveniencing people like me who were on holiday.

AITA for mentioning the safety issues?

    NTA. It’s a hassle to follow safety regulations but it’s better than someone dying in a fire.
