British Couple Flee Madrid Airbnb After Discovering Camera Pointing at Bed

Airbnb removed the listing and refunded the couple after investigating the hidden device, which had a green light and faced directly at the bed.

  • On August 4, the Nunns, a British couple, discovered a camera with a flashing green light directed at their bed inside their Madrid Airbnb, abruptly ending their 39th wedding anniversary trip to Spain.
  • Raymond discovered the bedroom device one day after arriving on August 3, after the couple had assumed a separate camera in the living room was inactive and posed no threat.
  • Airbnb prohibits security cameras inside rental properties worldwide as of April 30, 2024; the company suspended the listing while investigating, though it remains unclear if anyone recorded or accessed the footage.
  • The Nunns left the apartment on August 5, relocating two hours south of Madrid after contacting Airbnb, while the platform issued a full refund covering their original stay and rebooking costs.
  • Donna said the experience left them unwilling to return to Madrid, underscoring the trust required when staying in a stranger's house and the vulnerability guests face during Airbnb stays.
