In a viral TikTok, a user on the video-sharing platform says he was locked out of his Airbnb by his host and had to book a hotel room late at night.

Andrew Clark (@stringbeanboy13) posted the clip of himself in a hotel bed on Monday. The text overlay reads, “Airbnb host locked the deadbolt and i had to book a hotel at 1 am.”

“Love when this happens,” he wrote in the caption, tagging Airbnb. “I have emotional damage from not doing my skincare routine,” he wrote in the comments.

As of May 19, the TikTok has over 69,100 views.

Commenters told Clark to report the incident to Airbnb to get a refund.

Some viewers shared their own similar experiences. “This happened to me once and airbnb comped the hotel stay that night > we ensured they comped at least 50% of the rest of the trip.”

Others wrote how Airbnb is “so sketchy like this.”

“Most professional air bnb host,” another commented.

According to Airbnb’s website, “if something goes wrong during your stay,” the first step to take is to message your host.

After that, you can send a refund request as well as gather and submit evidence to the Airbnb team, within 72 hours. Travel issues that are covered by the Rebooking and Refund Policy include the host failing “to provide access to accommodations.”

The Daily Dot has reached out to Clark and Airbnb for comment via email.
