A Chinese woman who is angry at the hotel's refusal to refund is shocking by intentionally flooding her room.

The woman was asked to pay compensation, about 300 times the original accommodation cost.

According to Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, a hotel in Hainan Province, China, reported to the police on the 28th of last month that a female guest flooded the room.




The woman booked a room for 108 yuan (about 20,000 won) per night through an online platform, and requested a full refund within 30 minutes of checking in late at night, citing 'plan change'.

The hotel explained the policy that cancellation is impossible after check-in, but the woman strongly demanded a refund, saying she did not like the room and was not soundproof. In response, the hotel offered a free upgrade, but she refused and reported it directly to the police and local government civil service centers.

However, before the police arrived, the woman turned on the bathroom sink and shower, causing the room to overflow with water, throwing bedding in the shower room and spraying shower gel.




The hotel staff only found out the situation after seeing the water leaking into the lobby from the second-floor room.

The hotel manager said "The faucet remained open from 2 a.m. until the morning, and the entire room was flooded"

The hotel said the entire room, including the wall and floor, was damaged, and the damage was estimated to be about 20,000 yuan (about 4 million won). In a police investigation, the woman admitted her fault and agreed to pay about 30,000 yuan (about 6 million won) to the hotel.




According to Chinese law, if you intentionally damage public or private property and cause more than a certain amount of damage, you can be detained or fined, and if the damage exceeds 5000 yuan, you can also be held criminally liable.

Netizens are paying a high price if they don't control their anger", It shows reactions such as "'I would have done this elsewhere, not for the first time.'"
