‘Used 120 tonnes of water in 5 days’: Chinese couple take revenge on Airbnb host in South Korea who refused to cancel booking by leaving taps running, lights and gas on
The unidentified couple reportedly wasted 120 tonnes of water and left a water and electricity bill of US$116 and a gas bill of about US$730, NetEase News reported.
The couple booked the stand-alone villa in the capital city of Seoul for 25 days and paid in full without looking at the price or checking where the property was located in the city. When they later realised it was in the outer suburbs, they decided it was too inconvenient and asked to cancel the booking.
The host, also not identified in the report, declined to do so as the booking had already been confirmed and payment made, which the couple appeared to accept.
After they checked into the property, the couple, still angry at the host, decided to exact revenge by turning on all the taps, lights, electrical appliances and gas.
The couple then travelled to different regions of the country, returning to the villa every three to four days for no more than five minutes. They only went to the villa on five occasions during the 25-day booking.
