airbnb host accused us of shoving toilet paper down the drain and then posts it on her social media… should i report this to airbnb ? [USA]
Me and my family stayed at an airbnb for 4 days. There were 7 of us in the house and only 2 bathrooms. Close to the end of our stay there was a huge rainstorm and the area got like 2 inches of rain. After that, the bathtub would not drain. My dad did not want 7 people to be stuck in one bathroom, so he attempted to fix the clog to no avail. I told my mom to let the airbnb host know so they wouldn’t think that we did it. She was so stressed from everything that she forgot and didn’t tell them until the next day, when we were leaving. The host then tells us that we clearly shoved tp down the drain and that the plumber had to cut a section of the wall out to remove all of it. She sent us pictures of nasty, yellow and brown toilet paper in the pipes. My mom assured her that we didn’t spend our vacation shoving tp down a grate drain, but she didn’t believe us. She said it had to have been us because we used all of the toilet paper (six rolls in total) and that was way too much. They then dug through our trash (which we had already put on the curb) to find the empty rolls as “proof”. She then posted all of the photos and our messages on fb (she did block out our names), called us animals, and liked comments encouraging her to doxx us. We were nice to her through all of this and it makes me regret washing her towels and stripping her beds for her.
tl;dr: Toilet paper was found in the bathtub drain after very heavy rain. airbnb host accused us of clogging the drain w tp, which we did not do. she dug through our trash to find “evidence” and posted everything on fb.
