Airbnb Hosts Left with Huge Utility Bills Due to Guests' Negligence
An Airbnb host in South Korea was charged $640 for gas and water usage after two guests left the taps running for prolonged periods during their 25-day booking. The host believes the couple did it in retaliation for not accepting their cancellation request. The guests claimed they had contracted COVID-19 and wanted to cancel, but the host asked for proof. Airbnb refused to help cover the high utility bills, citing its AirCover protection program does not cover high utility bills.
