He was forced to spend an additional £150 on a last minute hotel.
A wedding guest was shocked to discover the accommodation they had booked had been sold two years earlier. John Yates, 46, had paid £105 for a one-night stay at a private home in Clitheroe advertised on Booking.com as a 'large family house'. He booked the property on May 14 - just four days before he was due to stay after attending a friend's wedding nearby on May 18.
When booking, John had failed to notice a string of poor online reviews. The six reviews on the property - left between December 2022 and July 2023 - all gave a one-star rating. In them, the property was described as a rat's nest, mouldy and filthy with “sticky messes” on the mattresses. “I didn’t see the reviews, it would have changed my mind,' John said, adding: 'If I had turned up, I would have been in a right mess.
