Narrative:
Upon landing in ZZZ the smell in the back galley aft cabin was horrible. It was like feet; puke; and exhaust all mixed together. C flight attendant and I discussed it and realized we were smelling the same thing. We got new pilots in ZZZ and we informed them of the smell. As we were at the gate the smell came back and we informed them of it. They said it was the APU. Took off without incident. Landing in ZZZ1 the smell came back. Taxiing in we informed the pilots the smell was back. The pilots said they can smell it and the filters just need to be changed on the APU. Didn't even know we had an incident until a phone call 2 hours later saying it was air cabin.
