I had this female guest from Uppsala, Sweden. She is about 26-30 years old with long reddish hair. Anyway, she stayed for 4 nights and broke several house rules. When I would come home unannounced I would found her in my office (an area off limits as stated upon her arrival — for obvious reasons). Once she was eating pizza out of a box on my new couch (eating on couch is against the rules). Next she cooked 2 meals a day and left the kitchen a mess with food in the drain that caused it to clog, I had to phone and pay a handy man to unclog it after she left. Next she played loud music on her iPhone whilst walking around the living space, she refused to wear headphones. Next she had a male guest over for a couple of hours (which is not aloud since I am a female and do not want any potentially uncomfortable situations) Finally she made phone calls after midnight and spoke loudly on the phone waking me up on 3 occasions. I have to say I honestly felt like she was taking over like an alpha canine, and she was hostile when approached about respecting the rules. It was very upsetting. About 5 days after she left she asked AirBnB for a refund. She cost me $100 for the clogged sink and added stress. It seems clear to me now that she stays, doesn’t complain, and then waits to file a complaint until long after she is gone so that she does not have to pay. It’s a way to stay on AirBnB for free.

It sounds like airbnb are totally aware of these scammers. They rely on their deliberately complicated reporting process to get people to accept losses.
