It might be one of the best business ideas and opportunities in the rest of the world, but in a country like India, owning and running an Airbnb is no
easy task! A video was shared on social media, which showed an Airbnb host struggling to accept the gravity of the mess her previous guest had created at her property. From trashing all over the Airbnb to foul smell and from random stains on her sofa to whatnot– the place was looking and smelling absolutely unbearable. The further problematic part about the entire incident was the response and lack of accountability shown by the guests. “Cleaning charges de to rahe hain, fir kya naatak hain? (We are paying you for the cleaning charges as well, so why are you doing this drama),” the guests had said. By the looks of it, the guests were entitled enough to justify the trashing, citing the fee they were paying to stay at the Airbnb. The video immediately went viral, leaving many reacting. Most criticised the guests, while others called it “unfortunate” and “common” for most Indians, with “lack of civic sense”. Times Now could not confirm the details and the authenticity of the post.

She is an Airbnb host in India.
She shares how guests leave her property and how most Indians consider Airbnb as just a party place and leave unbelievable mess sometimes. “We are paying cleaning charges na”.
True. I judge people on how they leave behind hotel rooms too.

Internet’s reactions:
“But why do the same people go to Dubai and London and behave nicely? The only thing we Indians are scared of is law and order. Here we know we can pay off the police or court,” a user said.

“Indian people are the most uncivilised people, they will pay 1K but do damage of more than what they pay. And she also had a sofa, bedsheet also placed for such unruly Indians, sofa stains property damage they are not worth airbnb. Just keep one chair table for such idiots,” added another.
“I have a friend couple of friends who do the same thing, and I once pointed it out. Rather than listening, they said– oh please, we pay the cleaning fee. Lol,” added another. “Reminds me of the video of kids who took a room for ₹500 and made a mess,” wrote the next.
