A TikToker booked a lavish Airbnb in Bali for a family vacation — but after arrival, she realized she accidentally reserved an entire hotel
26.07.2023 - 09:47 / insider.com
A TikToker said she wanted to book a single Airbnb but mistakenly reserved an entire hotel in Bali for just over $3,000 for a week.
In the video posted earlier this week, Jas (@jxx), who according to her TikTok bio works as a "social media manager," told the tale to her more than 211,000 followers.
She captioned the TikTok: "WHY DOES STUFF LIKE THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME LOL." The video has gone viral and had over 2.7 million views and 282,000 likes as of Sunday.
Jas and a representative for Airbnb did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
The property Jas shared on her TikTok appears to be this Airbnb listing of a four-bedroom villa in Ubud, a town in Bali. It has a 4.8 rating and says it provides "a relaxing atmosphere as well as a real tropical experience." The listing says it can host 11 guests and goes for $538 a night.
WHY DOES STUFF LIKE THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME LOL
In the video, Jas said she booked the property "a year in advance" for a family vacation. She said she let her grandparents choose the place, and they picked "the most expensive one" out of the options.
Before leaving for the trip, Jas told her followers she anticipated issues.
"I just know there's going to be problems with this because, like, Bali increases their prices for everything every single year," Jas said. She added she was concerned her reservation would be canceled or doubled in price since she paid a lower rate.
Jas said she chatted with the property owner a week before her trip and learned it was under new management. The owner told her the price, accommodations, and amenities had all changed since she first booked, she said.
Jas said the owner seemed confused and "frantic" about how she got such a low price, since the cheapest price the hotel usually charged was $1,400 a night.
Jas told her followers that by the end of their conversation, the owner seemed OK and said he'd "take an L on this."

In the video, she shares a photo of the property with a large pool and resort-style building in the background.
Jas said the first "red flag" she noticed was on the way to the villa, when she realized the property was labeled a "hostel" on Google Maps. She was also confused when she saw a "till," or cash register, in the kitchen.
Jas said the owner told her more guests would join since she booked "a special rate."
Jas objected to the owner. "I just booked it. No one explained that there was going be other people staying here," she said in the video.
"'I understand I can't use all the bedrooms. That's fine,' but I was like, 'There's no way I'm staying here with my family if other people are going to be staying here,'" Jas continued, recounting her
