I never heard of such a thing, can't even imagine what it looks like. I had to google it to see if I could find such an item. The only thing that I fould was a toilet paper holder that records messages.

 

If it is that one, then it is not recording you, it should have a recorded message for you.

 

If it is not send us a picture, maybe is something else.

 

If it is something that is recording you in the bathroom take pictures and call airbnb asap.

What kind of noises would someone want to record in a toilet? I don't get the whole idea.

wow @Emilia42  Who would be clueless enough to think that would be a good idea in their Airbnb? I'm just imagining the conversation/thought process behind that decision!

@Colleen253 yeah, really. I have never heard of such a thing so I googled it and came up with the 'Talking TP.' Good thing is that it doesn't actually record on demand. Some people have a twisted  and clueless sense of humor

Teh first thing you should do in my opinion is contact the host for clarification.  you may think it is a recording device - and it may be - and it may not be.   Give the host a chance to respond.  

If however you honestly believe your privacy is being violated adn there is sound and video recording occurring ( which I have to say seems EXTREMELY unlikely via a toilet roll holder) you should contact CS immediately.

I would urge that you are quite sure of your facts before your do this as it could have serious repercussions for the host  and potentially for you if you make a false claim about such a matter.
