Snapchat Party Wrecks Brisbane Airbnb, Owner Seeks Action

An Airbnb property in East Brisbane, Australia, owned by Benjamin Holt, was severely damaged after an open-invite party was shared on Snapchat, leading to approximately 500 teenagers attending instead of the expected family of five. The event resulted in massive property damage, including smashed glass, furniture in the pool, and soiled beds, with no injuries reported. Holt received a defiant message from the alleged party host, criticizing him for involving the police and media. Despite the chaos, Holt expressed relief that no one was hurt and emphasized the importance of accountability among the youth. Queensland Police are investigating the incident, and Airbnb has stated that such behavior is unacceptable on their platform. Holt has canceled upcoming bookings due to the damage and is concerned about insurance coverage for the mess.
