The host has claimed false damages. And I am shocked to see that how can someone be so mean and untruthful. I would like to describe the events as happened. When I moved out, the room had some packets and plastic bottles as left overs. I sincerely apologised for that to the host. I couldn’t dispose them off as the method of disposal told to me by the host was hectic and confusing for me. I thought I would do that in the end of my stay but couldn’t do that as I was in a hurry. And it got spread in the room as there was no dustbin in the appartment where I can throw the garbage. The garbage didn’t include any material difficult to collect and I left no stains anywhere. I messaged the host while I was checking out but he didn’t meet me. I kept the keys in the mail box.
Now the host took advantage of this situation of an uncleaned room to get his room renovated by me. He claimed wrong damages on me. He says that the wallpaper and carpet has dirt/stain that is caused by me. But this is completely wrong claim. The wallpaper had stain before my arrival. When I said this to him that his previous guest would have done it, he said that the room was not given to anyone since long due to covid. But the fact is that when I arrived, the host accompanied me to the room. And there was a fresh stain of tea( or some drink) on the table. The host removed it using tissue paper and apologised for it. And this is the same table below which the wallpaper has stain of similar colour as if some drink fell down from table. This proves that the stain was already there and room was in use, either by guest or the host himself.
And the carpet is also in the same condition as it was during my arrival. He says that the carpet has colouring caused by me. But like wallpaper, this is also wrong claim. As I have said earlier, I have handled everything with care and have not left stain anywhere. It is same as it was during my arrival. He is using this situation for his own profit.
Yes I apologize for the garbage left but the host using this situation and manipulating the truth for his profit has left me in the utter shock and disgust. I didn’t expect something to happen on a widely used platform like Airbnb and that too in Japan where people are known for their considerate, kind and honest behaviour. Just because I am new to the country doesn’t mean that the host can make a fool of me. This is very wrong and strict action should be taken by Airbnb for such dishonest hosts.
