Damage to my property

After 9 years as a Airbnb host i had a terrible experience with my guest who checked out today.

he destroyed my house, broke many items, pool cleaner, personal stuff, shower and more, I already requested the money to fix everything,

i am also concerned with my house safety as they are all self check in and I'm current overseas 

Should I make a police report as well?

Hi @Giliane0 when dealing with property damage caused by an Airbnb guest, it's important to take several steps. Take photos and make a detailed list of all the damaged items and areas. This will be crucial for any insurance claims or legal actions. After filing an Aircover claim, and if the damage is significant and you believe it was intentional or due to criminal behavior, it would be advisable to file a police report. This can also support any insurance claims or legal action you might take. It may be worthwhile to consult with a legal professional to understand your options for recovery. Hope this helps!
