I chose this accommodation as a weekend getaway to celebrate my best friend’s 40th. On our second night, as we were watching a show, we were startled when two other people started casting inappropriate content to the bedroom’s TV via the google chromecast. It was incredibly shocking and very unsettling.
As we tried to recast our show to the chromecast, the two people (who appeared as ‘Kelli’ and ‘Johnny O’) kept recasting their content to the TV. We reported this immediately and when the caretaker came over to inspect the issue he was surprised to learn that there was a chromecast installed in the main bedroom in the first place.
He uninstalled it and took it away. But we were incredibly unsettled by this experience (due to the content and also due to the owner/caretaker not being able to pin-point what had happened). We barely slept the night.
If our kids were with us and they were watching a show and were exposed to this content it would have been incredibly shocking for them!
The owners need to be more vigilant regarding what devices are installed into the televisions and should also update the WiFi password on a very regular basis.
