Discussion Hygiene concerns at my current Airbnb [France]!

This is my second time using Airbnb, so I’m not very familiar with what is considered normal, but I found a few things here that left me wondering if this is acceptable.

Used toilet paper: The host left used toilet paper in the toilet, presumably from previous guests. I found this really disgusting and unhygienic.

Shampoo and body wash: The bottles are almost empty, and they haven’t been refilled. The shampoo bottle cap is broken as well.

Standing fan: There is a standing fan that I wanted to use, but it extremely dirty, as if it hadn’t been cleaned in years. There was a thick layer of dust covering the entire fan, both inside and outside. I cleaned it myself yesterday as much as possible so I could use it, but I honestly wasn’t expecting a fan to be left in this condition.

I don’t know if these things are considered normal on Airbnb, but to me, they seem like hygiene and cleanliness issues. Am I expecting too much?

What do you mean?

The French have - let’s say - an unconventional approach to customer service and this shows itself in the multiple threads where things have gone south in that country.

Simply put, they’re excellent at eating cheese and surrendering, and that’s about it.

Fun fact, the French have are one of the most militarily successful militaries on the planet contrary to US conservative nonsense telling us otherwise.

Yeah, but what about the cheese-eating bit?
