Alongside a broken wardrobe, broken blind and bags of rubbish everywhere there were also multiple discarded cans of nitrous oxide – commonly known as ‘laughing gas’.

The horror guests booked the property on the day of their stay and allegedly smashed huge holes in a wardrobe door, broke a sofa and damaged blinds.

Cigarette butts and cans of Fastgas were also found scattered across the home.

The 41-year-old host said he received noise complaints from local residents about the guests and now hopes that Airbnb’s insurance will cover the cost of the damage.

However, he says he’s been left out of pocket after being unable to let the property out to other guests due to the damage.

He told MailOnline: ‘I have a couple Airbnb’s and I’ve done it for a couple of years and I’ve never seen anything like it.

‘At around 7pm, I received complaints from neighbours that the music was very loud and that they had gas balloons outside the property.

‘I reached out to the guest on Airbnb and asked them to follow the house rules but they didn’t respond. I drove past the property later and saw what the neighbours had said.

He said attempts to contact them via Airbnb saw the tourist rental company told ‘there was nothing going on and they weren’t having a party.’

Fearing that the situation might escalate if he called the police, the landlord decided to wait until the next morning but got the shock of his life when he arrived at his property.

‘I hoped Airbnb would calm things down but I was wrong. I went in the next day after they’d checked out to find they’d broken my brand new three seater sofa, a two door cupboard, three or four blind pullers and that the walls and floors were damaged.

He added: ‘I’d never seen anything like this before, I was pretty shocked.’

A video of the damage was posted on TikTok on Sunday describing the party-goers as the ‘guests from hell’. The clip has attracted over 21,000 views and dozens of comments from shocked viewers.

One said: ‘Ouch, I feel you.’ Another added: ‘I hope that you have enough of a deposit to cover this’.

Others said the landlord should ‘name and shame’ the perpetrators.
