Worst Guests Ever! Couple Take Revenge On Airbnb Host By Leaving Taps Running And Gas On For 25 Days
The couple had booked the villa for 25 days but wanted to leave early due to the distance from the city center. When their refund request was declined, they turned on all the lights, taps, and gas appliances, resulting in a significant utility bill for the owner.
A South Korean Airbnb host was hit with a hefty bill when a couple sought revenge after their request for an early departure was denied. The guests on vacation from China booked the villa in Seoul for 25 days but complained that it was too far from the city center and demanded a refund.

The couple's dissatisfaction with their Airbnb villa stemmed from its location in the suburbs of Seoul rather than the city center.
When their request was refused, they left the property after turning on all the taps, lights, and gas appliances, resulting in a massive utility bill for the owner.
The gas company even suspected a leak due to excessive gas consumption. Reports indicate that the couple returned every three days to check if everything was still running.

According to local media, the host, Mr. Lee, was left with a ?630 utility bill after the couple left for home.
He told the local press that he was horrified that they had wasted more than 120 metric tons of water during the stay. But when he contacted Airbnb's customer service, he was told they would not help.
In another Airbnb incident, a guest at an unknown location claimed to have seen a ghost at the property.
The host, Nalin Jha, who has been hosting his property on Airbnb for 12 years, received messages from the guest asking if something terrible had ever happened in the apartment.
When Nalin questioned what he meant, he was informed that the guest had seen a ghost standing before him for ten minutes. The exchange was shared in a Facebook group for professional hosts.
What happened after the guest claimed to have seen the ghost is unclear. The screenshot shared in the Facebook group cuts off before the story's conclusion. Nonetheless, Nalin shared the story with the group:

"After hosting for 12 years on Airbnb and hosting around 10k guests, I thought I had seen it all. But, well, I was wrong."
Fellow hosts found the story amusing, with some joking that Nalin could market the apartment as a "haunted attraction" and raise the rent.
