Teens trash Brisbane Airbnb during open-invite party

The booking was supposed to be a family of five, but it was hundreds of rowdy teens who descended on this Airbnb.

The booking was supposed to be for a family of five, but hundreds of teens descended on a Brisbane Airbnb on Saturday night, causing havoc with an open-invite party and trashing the house in the process.

Footage of the aftermath showed smashed glass and empty alcohol cans, a broken stair railing, and furniture and a vacuum among items thrown in the pool.

Queensland Police told news.com.au that on Monday, the Morningside Child Protection and Investigation Unit, which works with juvenile offenders, was still investigating.

Hundreds of young people showed up to the open-invite party.

Police officers broke up the party before 8pm.

While Australians outraged at the videos online expressed fury on behalf of property owner Benjamin Holt, his reaction was surprisingly calm.

He told Sunrise “the hardest part” of the ordeal was telling families who had booked a holiday at his Airbnb that they could no longer stay.

“We had someone who was booked in yesterday for a five-night stay: two adults and two kids. I had to call them the night before at 10.30pm and tell them they won’t be able to stay,” he said.

“That’s the hardest part for me, the cancelled bookings, the people who have their holidays ruined.”

Mr Holt wants those who posed as a family in their fake Airbnb profile to take responsibility and foot the bill for the repairs.

He speculated they might be “flushed with cash” as he heard it was a “paid party” where you had to cough up a fee to get in.

Earlier on 7News, Mr Holt had said, “the silver lining is no one was hurt” and that “the mess can be fixed”.

Queensland Police confirmed to news.com.au there were no reports of injuries following a “large disturbance” in East Brisbane on April 5.

“Shortly after 7.45pm officers dispersed a large group of people from a Geelong Street address,” a statement said.

”Police continued patrolling the area following the disturbance, there were no further reports of incidents.”
