Thanks to Facebook and online reviewing platforms, it’s easier than ever to let everyone know about that terrible hotel you stayed in.

But one annoyed customer got more than she bargained for when she left a negative review on the Facebook page of a Glaswegian hostel. Louise Taylor stayed at the Blue Sky Hostel in Glasgow for two nights during the Commonwealth Games and was unimpressed with her visit.

After she left a one-star review on Facebook, the hostel’s owner Todd Pederson responded angrily and sparked a back and forth between the pair, which soon got the attention of other amused Facebook users. Seven hundred comments later, the whole thing has drawn the attention of the rest of the internet too.

You may not have been in an argument with a hostel owner on Facebook, but plenty of you may have experienced your share of holiday horrors. Now the Summer holidays have begun, what better time to share your worst experiences, whether you went abroad or stayed closer to home. From lost passports to overbooked hotels, let us know your worst holiday horror stories.
