Someone knocks at the hotel at night. Is the hotel responsible?

Legal analysis: hotels have the obligation of security. If damage is caused by infringement by a third party, the infringing third party shall be liable for compensation. If the security obligor is at fault, he shall bear the corresponding supplementary liability for compensation within the scope that he can prevent or stop the damage. After assuming the responsibility, the security obligor may claim compensation from a third party. Where the right holder of compensation brings a lawsuit against the security obligor, the third party shall be regarded as a co-defendant, except where the third party is uncertain.

Legal basis: Article 18 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Protection of Consumers' Rights and Interests, business operators shall ensure that the goods or services they provide meet the requirements of protecting personal and property safety. For goods and services that may endanger personal and property safety, consumers should be given a true explanation and a clear warning, and the methods of correctly using goods or receiving services and the methods of preventing harm should be explained and marked. Operators of hotels, shopping malls, restaurants, banks, airports, stations, ports, theaters and other places of business shall fulfill their obligations of safety protection for consumers.
