A brief social media clip has prompted widespread discussion about how guests should leave rental properties. The footage, posted by an Airbnb host, shows an upscale apartment valued at ₹1.05 crore after recent occupants departed. Viewers have offered differing opinions on whether the condition reflects acceptable behavior or a lack of consideration.
The video displays food remnants, empty containers, cups and other waste on tables, floors and the balcony. The bed appears unmade, with additional litter and marks visible throughout the unit. The host noted that the property is a private residence rather than a hotel and lacks extensive cleaning staff. The post emphasized that payment does not permit leaving disorder and warned that cleaning fees may apply in such cases.
Responses online were divided. Some users argued that guests should show greater respect for personal homes and maintain basic standards of tidiness. Others maintained that routine cleaning forms part of hosting duties when no property damage occurs, describing the scene as typical rather than excessive.
The Times of India has not verified the video or accompanying statements independently.
