Tens of thousands of people traveled to Germany to support their national team during Euro 2024. But finding accommodation is not easy, as evidenced by the experience of this group of people. rsquo;Scottish.

They thought they were living a dream, but it ended up being a nightmare. Euro 2024 started last Friday. Supporters come from all over Europe, even the world, to follow the competition. But to make the most of your stay in Germany, it's better to find good accommodation.

“Disgusting”

A group of fans from Scotland had booked an apartment in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, via the Booking website, to sleep and watch the opening match of Euro 2024, which pitted Germany against Scotland, reports the Mirror. When they arrived, the group of friends discovered with disillusionment that what they had booked did not correspond at all to their expectations. They shared photos on X (ex-Twitter) of the disorder and unsanitary conditions of the place.

So at around half past 8 yesterday we turned up at the original property we booked through @bookingcom and the place was an absolute mess. One of the beds was made out of cardboard and also held together by duck tape. The 2nd bed was a sofa bed that was broken and disgusting pic.twitter.com/rgv0KkWLff

They explain that it was poorly stored, that the bed base was made of pieces of cardboard with adhesive tape. The second bedding, which was a sofa bed, was "disgusting" and visibly broken, they reported.

They decide to contact the accommodation reservation site to make a complaint. Booking finds a solution by sending them to a second location, but it’s even worse… They discover an abandoned hospital, whose hygiene leaves much to be desired, as can be seen in the images below.

So we phoned @bookingcom and spent 3 hours to try and find a solution. After speaking to 3 different CS advisors we were finally told that @bookingcom would cover the cost of a new place to say. So at around 12:30am we walked across the city to the new digs.

Between medical equipment, chemicals, exposed cables and even an axe, the supporters are not about to forget their German stay. &quot ;It looked like a horror film about human trafficking", they said.

In total, the group had to spend over 2,000 pounds sterling, which is over 2,300 euros, and had to book a hotel for their first night. They are still waiting for a refund from the site. Note that Scotland lost 5 goals to 1 against Mannschaft…
