>Do I just hit the cancel button, leave the keys and bail without saying a word??
No. You cancel and send him a cordial message with photos to support your actions. Tell him you won't leave a review since you stayed a short time, if you feel bad.

And take your own side. You should be valuing yourself, being an advocate of yourself and ensuring you get what you deserve and also the best.

>>2854649
don't hesitate, get out and report the host to airbnb, take lots of pictures as proof and communicate

as the other poster said, you need to stand up for yourself sometimes, shitty hosts are a blight

>The bed has hairs and tiny bugs in it.
take a bunch of pictures/videos and then get the fuck out.

Brother, the moment you see bed bugs, get the fuck out. Crime and junkies are bad but bed bugs are worse. They have some weird effect where you'll wake up months or even years from now, panicking and thinking that they're biting you. They wreck your brain.

Cancel and get the refund. There's a good chance those bugs will get inside your luggage, and if that happens, you're fucked for life. They're harder to get rid of than cockroaches. They're resistant to basically any poison and they can hibernate without food for a full fucking year.

This happened to me twice in a year with airbnb, this is why I no longer use the app. Hotels are safer, cheaper, and there's less bullshit drama like this.

Also bedbugs are worse than your worst nightmare, strongly consider burning everything you have with you and don't take it home with you, trust me it will be FAR CHEAPER to replace what you're traveling with than to deal with a bedbug infestation at your home.

You just move out if that happens. Move, leave all your shit on the curb (wrap it in plastic so the city doesn't ticket you for spreading those things), check into a hotel, get clothes delivered from amazon, keep them in a sealed bag, put your old clothes in a plastic bag, take a shower, put on the new clothes without touching any of your old shit, and take your bagged old stuff to the garbage chute.

>The bed has [...] tiny bugs in it
>i've [...] been here for 2 days
You're fucked
Hopefully this teaches you to check under and around the bed for bed bugs and eggs as the first step when entering any accommodation

What country? every time I hear these airbnb terribad stories I never hear the country.

Bedbugs are a common problem in muttland. I've never encountered them in Third World hotels.

>>2855116
Believe it or not bedbugs are pretty hard to identify and it's often mites instead. They also fuck off fairly quick unless constantly near a source of food, airbnb's are inconsistent. Not saying they can't happen but most people suck at identifying them.

I'd bet good money OP is in Manila and found out the roach problem is real

If the room is as described in the advertisement (not reviews) what grounds would you have to seek a refund? You did stay there, someone else couldn't.

It's entirely fair to leave a bad review if you had a bad stay, but a refund is really only for false advertising and ToS violation.

I put in for a few refunds where the host double booked, wasn't there to let me in, or the pictures were fake, but never because I just didn't like the room. While you can get refunds and blackmail businesses into giving them in my view that makes you a parasite, both because you failed to warn other travellers that the room is shit, and because you didn't pay for a service you actually recived.

I work in actual hotels, and we have to deal with people trying to jew their way out of paying all the time. It's a cultural behaviour we almost expect from certain guests who figure they're leaving the next day so what have they got to lose? We've had guests threaten to review bomb us, book in again just to leave other bad reviews, poor faith behaviour. And yes, often they get to stay for free, it works, and that's why the whole industry fucking hates guests, groups of guests, nationalities, people who do this shit.

>what grounds would you have to seek a refund?
not even necessary since
>It says i can cancel and get a partial refund
but it's fully justified if what OP says about it being dirty and having bedbugs is true. Getting his money back from an uninhabitable property is the least he should be doing, he's well within his rights to report them to Airbnb and possibly the city if the host doesn't think the refund is fair

>>2856181
You have a reasonable expectation that a place is habitable when you book it. Bed bugs = absolutely not habitable, thus the seller has broken the contract.

>If the room is as described in the advertisement (not reviews) what grounds would you have to seek a refund? You did stay there, someone else couldn't.
Bug/mold/rodent infestation is a viable reason for a refund, OP however has to capture it all on camera for a full refund.
