There is another Australian motorbike YouTuber called Peter Ricci ("Solo World Traveller") who recounted on one of his Argentina hotels they tried to get US$100 out of him for a broken electric lamp. He said as soon as he touched it, it fell to pieces, he didnt knock it over or anything like that. They already had his credit card, and he was riding a KTM. He sensed a scam, refused to pay, and after a lot of arguing eventually they relented. What I found is sometimes they play upon your memory not being 100% and charge you an extra day if you stayed over a week or so. They tried that on me in India a few times as well. You only get bitten once before you get alert to these scams, and overall the vast majority of hosts are pretty helpful and welcoming.
