I rented an Airbnb house in Vietnam for 5 days, when I used the bathtub for the first time, it broke as soon as I put my second foot in. Called the owner immediately and mob all the water that got in the bedroom myself, it doesn't look like it broken completely, I used a flashlight and the light can't get through the wood to the other side, the bathtub looks kinda old too and when I took pictures I can see some black molds where the broken edge was.
The owner said it was unfortunate but glad I was so quick to taken responsibility, but then he also said since the guest booked the house can't use it (the house has another 2 showerheads indoor and one out on the balcony) and he had to helped them find other places , I have to help him with some of the money he lost, this is near the Tet holidays in Vietnam so he said he lost a lot of money, and then since he has booked the service lady to work in Tet holidays, he has to pay her too.
After I have checked out, he called me and said that when he sent the pictures of the broken bathtub to the repairman, he said it can't be repaired and he will have to be replaced. So I have to help him pay for the new bathtub plus some of the money he lost plus the money he had to paid to the service lady. I mean, I can probably pay for that but isn't it a bit excessive? I used Airbnb regularly and this is the first time I have broken something so I'm dumbfounded right now, how can I figure out an acceptable amount to pay this host?
