Man Claims Hotel Tried To Charge Him ₹8,000 For Broken Mirror He Never Touched

ng Recently, a post is going viral on X after a user shared his experience at a hotel checkout where he was asked to pay ₹8000 for a broken mirror that he had nothing to do with. What happened next? Read on to know.

Well, that one experience has now changed his travel habits. Taking to his X account, he shared how now he follows a simple rule every time he enters a hotel room. He records a full video of the room, covering the bed, television, mirror, washroom and basic facilities. He also switches on the lights and air conditioning and makes sure the time and date are visible on screen. This small step acts as proof if any conflict arises later. The post states, “Now, no matter what anyone says, I have proof.”

How Did The Internet React To It?

He also asked his followers if something similar had happened to them. He wrote, “Has something like this ever happened to you too— Where the mistake was someone else’s, but you ended up getting trapped?”

As soon as he posted the post, it instantly became viral, gaining a lot of views across India. Some users also shared similar experiences, while others made people alert to the ongoing frauds.

One user wrote, “Absolutely bitter truth! In today’s time, just being honest isn’t enough; being wise and keeping evidence with you is equally essential. Your 5-minute habit against such high-handedness and forced extortion by hotel staff can truly save thousands of rupees and mental harassment. This is an extremely vital and eye-opening lesson for every traveller.”

Another wrote, “Hotel staff often take advantage of the rush during checkout because they know the guest’s flight or train might be missed, and they won’t argue.”
