Hi community!
I would need some advise on an awkward situation that I am in. Namely, the guest who stayed with us for 9 days was somewhat weird looking and we all noticed that something is a bit wrong with him when he arrived (he has some tics with his eyes). On the other hand, he was quiet, causious and shy. But still looking at me in a strange manner. He doesn't speek English well though, so I assumed that he just doesn't understand.
For the first few days everything went well, I tried to communicate with him a bit, asked him about his experience with the city and alike, all in all he seams like an ok person.
But then our ordeal started: his clothes started smeliing on sweat and soon our whole apartment was stinking like a zoo. He was walking around seamingly not noticing it at all and keeping the door of his room open while inside. At some point I decided that I cannot relly keep quiet and allow my family and the our roomate endure that, so I offered him to wash his clothes. But he was going away for two nights and he said "when he comes back". I asked him to at least put his clothes in a bag, which he did, but he left the bag open, so, when he went out, I entered the room and rapped the bag twice around the stinking pile, which didn't help because his other stuff was equally smelly (and so were my sheets and even the bead, which I discovered later when he checked out). Then, when he came back he didn't mention washing clothes, and he was about to check-out the next day anyway, and it was too late to prevent the contamination, so I decided not to insist.
To cut the story short, he left two days ago, we are trying to exterminate the smell from the room since and it is still present. I washed every bloody thing - blanket, pillow, cushions, even the soft anatomic back rest that we keep at the chair - everything was smelling like an elephant stable. Still, I cannot really wash the bead. Grrrr! And I have the next guest coming in a few hours. SO embarrassing! But that's a lesson and I shall be more careful when accepting guests, especially guests from certain parts of the world...
Now the question is a review: How do I write a review for him? He was not unpolite, he was otherwise really ok... he just doesn't seam to have a sense of smell.
I wouldn't like to write a bad review because it would not be accurate, but I would like to warn other hosts in some way...
Anyone smarter then me?
Thanks!
