What if we break something in the hotel and then run away?

It is illegal to destroy hotel property and run away. Hotels should be investigated for public security management and civil liability for compensation according to law. If the amount reaches more than 5,000 yuan, which constitutes a crime, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.

Customers who damage articles while eating or staying should bear civil liability and pay compensation, but it cannot be decided unilaterally by the merchants. The sky-high compensation standard set by hotels lacks legal basis, and the high compensation standard unilaterally set by hotels is invalid.

Once consumers encounter this situation, they must not compromise, and should compensate according to the depreciation price of the goods, subject to the shopping invoice. If the hotel or guesthouse cannot provide the purchase invoice, it shall make corresponding compensation according to the actual market price of the item and exclude the depreciation of the item.
