A Glasgow woman was left outraged after she saw the hotel she was staying in as part of her Wowcher mystery holiday looked like a "ket den".
Customer service worker Bryony Scott said "if I don't laugh I'll f****** cry" after she saw photos of the Budapest hotel she would be staying in.
This was after she'd also had to pay extra to fly from a Scottish airport.
The holidaymaker joked that she "will not be returning alive" from the Wowcher break, which begins on January 24 and lasts for three nights, reports the Daily Record .
After buying the £99 deal, which sees customers paying for a holiday without knowing where there'll be going, Bryony was excited to finally find out she would be heading to Hungary's popular capital.

Despite discovering she'd have to pay an extra £80 to fly from a Scottish airport.
That was until she looked at where she'd be staying.
When Bryony and her mate found out they'd been booked into the three star Hotel Fortuna, they checked it's TripAdvisor reviews. What they were met with pretty horrific.
Despite being in a central location, Bryony described pictures of the hotel as looking like a "crime scene".
The bathrooms were grimy with hair in the shower, there were cobwebs at the windows and there was an odd fence next to the bed.
A TripAdvisor reviewer named Dani R went on a rant about the hotel, saying "in the bathroom, towels dirty and in the shower curtain, hair of other people.
He added that there were "spider nests and spider eggs".
"I write here in the intention that nobody ever have the same experience than I. It's a pity for Budapest!! Really. Don't choose Hotel Fortuna at all!"

With an average rating of just two and a half stars on TripAdvisor, plenty of other holidaymakers felt the same about Hotel Fortuna.
"This place is horrible […] The place needs serious updating and very serious deep cleaning," Katie D said.
One person, Pauline C, did actually give the hotel four stars.
She wrote: "It needs an uplift, however it's quite reasonable and good value for money with larger than normal rooms.
"The breakfast is more than sufficient. What makes this hotel so special is the efficient and kind hearted receptionist with very good mastery of English."
But Bryony was having none of it, taking to social media to tell her story.
"Right so booked the Wowcher Mystery Holiday last year," she said.
"I go away in about 20 days. Just checked the hotel am staying at and a can confirm – it looks like a f****** ket den . Will not be returning alive.
"There's a fence next to the bed, the shower looks like a crime scene.
"If I don't laugh I'll f****** cry, I'm taking a f****** sleeping bag."
Bryony explained that her friend contacted Weekender Breaks, but they won't move the pair into another hotel unless they pay another £60, which they've decided against doing.
"I knew I wouldn't be staying in a place like the Hilton with paying £100. But it'll be a laugh and I'm sure it'll have some good stories to tell," she said.
The Urban Dictionary says a "ket den" is "a place where drugs and the base are dropped all day every day.
"Generally smells like p*** and the people that reside there live off a solitary diet of cocaine and ketamine."
