Two Airbnb guests in Finland surprised their host with cake and candles after learning that he would spend the day alone.
One of them shared the story on social media; in a TikTok video, which has already gained over 30 million views, Jessica Judith shows her and her friend singing happy birthday to the owner of the house where they were staying.
“Our Airbnb host was alone on his birthday,” Smith says in the caption. “God knew he needed to place two women who care a lot about birthdays to celebrate with him.”
Smith shares in her post that Tarmo, the Airbnb host where she and her friend were staying, was a wonderful host, and they were honored to be able to celebrate his birthday.
“Tarmo was the best host I’ve ever had on Airbnb,” Smith wrote. “He took us to see reindeer, and every day he awaited us at his house with coffee and cookies. We love you so much, Tarmo! What an honor to celebrate your birthday with you!!!”
The post received numerous positive comments, praising the kindness of everyone, both the guests and the host.
“You just gave this man an invaluable memory,” one user wrote. “This is how we should live as humans,” said another.
Some even suggested that the scene make a great advertisement for the temporary accommodation platform, and the company itself left a message on Smith’s post.
“When guests make the host feel hosted,” commented Airbnb.
