A bad Airbnb review allegedly turned into a very personal nightmare.
An Airbnb guest in the US says his Airbnb host allegedly retaliated after he posted a negative review by sending his wife security camera footage showing him arriving at the rental with another woman.
The dispute started after a two-night stay at $567 per night. After checkout, the host sought another $960 for alleged rule violations. The guest refused to pay and left a critical review instead.
Then things escalated.
He claims his wife later received an email containing doorbell-camera footage of him returning around 3 a.m. with another woman.
The guest is now suing over claims including invasion of privacy, blackmail, and emotional distress. The host denies sending the footage, while Airbnb is seeking to move the dispute into arbitration.
$567 a night. $960 in disputed charges. Two nights. One bad review. And one lawsuit nobody saw coming
