The video shows a bunch of folks having one hell of a time at an Airbnb rental that has a nice backyard pool.
The text overlay reads, “When the Airbnb asks if there’s still only six people at your reservation.”

And, by the looks of it, there were a lot more than the 6 people there who were supposed to be booked into the rental.
Oops!

Another TikTokker said that this is cute, but this is why hosts have cameras on their properties.

The woman posted a follow-up video to clarify what was going on. She said, “I didn’t book the Airbnb, I went with friends, and a few others decided to join last minute because we were at a music festival.”
She added, “We were respectful, we cleaned up after ourselves, and we were barely even there. And to make it very clear, we didn’t set foot in the pool or the jacuzzi. I learned my lesson, I know there were too many people because we ran out of toilet paper.”

You all do realize that Airbnb can ban you from ever using their service, right?
I’m all for bending the rules a bit, but if you break them the consequences can be pretty severe.
