TikTok roasts Airbnb hosts over ‘obnoxious’ inspection videos

A pair of Airbnb hosts who record themselves inspecting their accommodation after guests depart have gone viral for their strict house rules.

Cassie and Jon, a couple in their early twenties, document themselves doing a post-checkout clean of their property in Glennville, Georgia, remarking on everything from how clean the guests have left the toilet to what snacks have been eaten and whether the furniture is out of place.

TikTok viewers have roasted the couple for their extreme attention to detail, since they have strict house rules and sometimes complain about what state the guests leave the property in after checkout.

One video shows the couple criticizing their checked-out guests for leaving the TV remote out of place, for “disrespecting the house rules” by leaving a box of leftovers in the fridge and for moving the ottoman a few inches closer to the couch.

“It is so simple to put your trash in the trash can,” Cassie said in one video, remarking on pizza boxes left on the counter. “The pillows and the blankets are all out of place,” Jon said in another clip.

“Y’all need to lighten up,” one person commented. “Why do I feel like you’d be mad if they used the blankets?” said another.

“Can [guests] sit on the toilet when they need it?” joked a third. “They USED the SPACE?!”

“I was defending y’all bc I thought it was a skit. Now I have to go apologize to people,” quipped another. “Honestly this is so obnoxious.”

Since Cassie and Jon’s videos have gone viral, other content creators have parodied the couple, skewering their strict house rules and their reactions when the accommodation has been lived in.

The content creator @daadisnacks criticized the couple for complaining about small details when they charge a $50 cleaning fee per stay. “Influencers run an Airbnb with more rules than a maximum security prison,” he captioned the post.

“Oh my god, you guys, the guests who paid $350 to use our home, used our home, and I’m literally shaking,” he said in the skit.

@ambercatherphoto also recreated the videos, telling the camera:

“Hey Y’all, we’re gonna go in and check out and see how bad these renters messed up the Airbnb…

“We already know the renters had a dog or some kids because this stick was out of place in the yard… can’t imagine what they’ve done inside.”

Later in the video, the content creator, in character as Jon, comments on how the ottoman has been moved a few inches.

“They moved the furniture! That’s house rule number 71!” they quipped to the camera. “Look at all the laundry in the laundry basket… they were here for two weeks.. How many showers did they need?”
