Wasn't necessarily an intentional SE, but the owners were recording his entire stay at their rental. Contract with Airbnb explicitly stated they wouldn't be recording inside or outside the Airbnb. It was a HUGE invasion of privacy, so Airbnb initiated a full refund.

I had the same experience - AirBnb host had cameras throughout their place. Reported to Airbnb and got full refund.

Wouldn't recommend this for SE purposes though, it will get the hosts banned from the platform.

It does work (I've personally succeeded a while back), but as said, It takes a lot of time and effort to manipulate the rep to believe your side of the story.

How are you planning to execute It?

Basically in the summer im tryna get hotels and just chill with my friends and i think this method would work perfect for me as i wont be staying the night at the hotel so whenever im ready to leave i would just piss on the bed sheets or whatever and then dry it out with like a hair dryer or something and then go and report it and then say i cant sleep here i need a refund right now and i will be reporting it to the health services or whatever it is ( ofc i will research before doing this but i think this has a really high chance of working!)

The host wasn't at the property though so I'm assuming they never checked or were too busy to notice because I never heard a word about it.
Also the house was being being sold so that probably had something to do with it

I dont see airbnb as a great se opportunity, though,  its too local

Now if you go through a 3rd party like booking.com you can manipulate their customer service people more easily and at least get credits in some cases.

damn but you’re is just a rare case i think. and this wouldn’t work not even with a vcc since i’ll prolly book for 1/2week nothing more.
so you’re telling me is just about talking with hotel/apartment host or booking right?
i see some people say to bring insects and take pics to win dispute for refund but idk
