    Funnily enough my home has smoke detectors. No advanced algorithms just simple detection of smoke. I mean they are only designed to save lives not fine anybody, but I guess that’s not what Hyatt are after.

      I suppose it’s looking at it like that is the same as the speedcam argument. Is it safety or revenue. At least you have some oversight and a due process when that’s wrong though.

      I wonder if these people could contact the fire department as it has to be some kind of hazard giving false reports.

    £500 is excessive. And fighting guests over your scummy practice. Not on.

    Hope a regulator steps in and looks at this but not hopeful.

    Despite reddit and Lemmy screeching, this shit hasn’t happened to me using airbnb and has happened often with hotels.

    🤷‍♂️

      Yes, but at AirBnB you have cleaning charge scams and hidden cameras in the bedroom. Pick your posion I guess 🤷

        Again as someone staying overnight 40+ days a year I find this to be extremely overblown and lacking in any real data either way but my personal experience is more than most.

        I think there was a small problem for a short while but was always overblown and was fixed relatively quickly.

        I’ve run into, if I had to guess 5:1 issues in hotel vs Airbnb 🤷‍♂️.
