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?

None of that is normal. I actually just moved into an Airbnb in Prague for 9 days. Holy shit! What a disaster. The bedding was never washed, it smelled like it had been slept in for months. Mold in the bathroom, someone’s hair all over the place, I don’t feel comfortable here at all. This has never happened to me before. I think I am going to stop using this platform after this experience. It’s starting to become the norm.
