A devastated home-owner was forced to watch up to 100 'African teenagers' completely trash her booking.com rental house when a party spiralled out of control.

The teenagers shattered windows, smashed holes through walls and broke down doors at the house in Footscray, west Melbourne on Saturday night and Sunday morning.

The owner, named only as Kelly, got calls from horrified neighbours saying her $836,000 house was being destroyed.

She rushed to the home and called police but they were unable to go in and stop the party without a warrant - forcing her to helplessly watch while 'balling her eyes out'.

'Neighbours called me at 7am and said they're there destroying all of your televisions and furniture and smashing it across the street,' she told 3aw.

'It felt like I was watching my house burning down.'

She said police told her they 'can't prove there is anything happening because they have no right to go in.'

Kelly explained: 'We said "can we go in?" And they said "no, you can't, it's too dangerous for you to go in."

'We were saying "what can we do? We can't just stand here and watch our house being trashed." And they said "there is nothing you can do".'

One shocked neighbour, Naz Ire, said the party was so out of control that she called police.

The revellers - described by neighbours as 'African youths' - eventually moved on from the house (pictured)

'They started turning up in car loads at about 9pm,' she told The Herald Sun.

'I could hear loud noises of door slamming, glass smashing and people yelling.'

'I couldn't sleep,' Ms Ire added. 'They were jumping on a neighbour's car and throwing glass bottles.'

Another neighbour named Harry said the teenagers were 'swearing at police and seemed to be looking for a fight.'

The revellers - described by neighbours as 'African youths' - eventually moved on.

Victoria Police said in a statement they were called to a disturbance and arrested one 19-year-old man for being drunk and disorderly.

Kelly said she had rented the property for one night to five guests from Adelaide via booking.com.

She believes they booked under a false name and cancelled the credit card they booked on so she couldn't charge them for the damage.

'It was a really nasty, well thought out plan, quite honestly,' she said.

She has called in repairers to fix the damage but said the booking.com and her insurer CommInsure have refused to pay up because she entered a rental agreement and is not covered for malicious damage.

A CommInsure spokesman said on Monday: 'What happened on the weekend must be very stressful for the customer.

'This claim was lodged yesterday and we have assessors in contact to help them.'

A Booking.com spokesman said: 'In the very rare and unfortunate instance that a customer engages in unlawful behaviour at a property, we encourage our partners to reach out to local authorities and make an official complaint.

'We support our accommodation partners fully and will cooperate with law enforcement in their official investigation as necessary.

'In this instance, we are taking additional precautions to block this customer from making any further reservations via our site.'
