Hosting nightmare story from Norway

A family rented out a cabin in Norway. It got totally trash by the five men that rented it. (Look at the pictures in the new)

It was full of trash, smells, vomit, poop, burn marks, damaged interior.

The host had problems with respons from the guest and airbnb staff. It took up to 6 weeks to get a respons from airbnb. After six weeks and contract with the media they eventually got 60 000 NOK for the damages. 

 

Is this what service we can expect from airbnb by renting out spaces?

@Kjetil3 Ssd but true - AirBnBs cover is not as it seems. Always ensure you have your own host insurance in place

Sad but true additional STR insurance is expensive...

I think a lot of people are still not aware  that they should have extra insurance.
