Two American women, Shy Watson and her friend Andressa, had a negative experience during their stay in Belgrade, Serbia, due to a misunderstanding over a key. The host of the apartment reportedly sent them offensive messages after they left, criticizing their intelligence, nationality, and even referencing U.S. President Donald Trump. The dispute began when Watson left the key in the same box she had taken it from upon arrival, but the host claimed it should have been returned elsewhere. After the incident, Airbnb refunded the entire booking cost and provided a $200 travel credit. Airbnb confirmed they were investigating the case and emphasized their commitment to addressing discrimination reports seriously. The host later deleted the messages and sent an apology, but Watson did not accept it, stating the incident deeply affected her.
