  • Holly Long (23 years old) from York booked a Manchester stay for herself and her two best friends
  • She paid £150 for the night and thought she had booked an entire holiday let

  • Holly and her friends were listening to the group “arguing” and discovered a filthy, overgrown garden.

Only when their friends arrived, did they realize that they had booked two rooms in the shared house with a group girls?

She explained: ‘I booked this place in Manchester on Booking.com, we paid £150 for the night which I wouldn’t have minded if the rooms were actually okay but I thought I’d booked the whole place.

“Me, my best friend pulled up to the house. We almost drowned when we realized we were inside a shared apartment.

Holly arrived with her friends to fill up the kitchen and back yard (left), and she was filled with filth.

“As we got ready to go to Christmas markets, the other guests were screaming for hours at one another. The argument started the minute we arrived.

‘The next morning, when I was feeling hungover, I pulled open the curtains to discover that there were literal mounds outside of the windows and even a bed added into the yard.

‘When I saw the garden I nearly p****d my pants.

“It wasn’t my fault, but the listing doesn’t mention it as a shared home. I should have reviewed reviews since they are red flags. But I didn’t do enough research.
