Guest Reports $10,000 Bill Over Bathroom Selfie at Airbnb's 'Invisible House'

The dispute centers on a commercial‑photography clause triggered by a social media post tagging a brand.

Overview

  • TikToker Sean Davis says hosts demanded an extra $10,000 after a bathroom selfie taken during his stay was re‑shared with a brand tag.
  • Davis maintains the image was not part of a paid or professional shoot and says no brand content was created inside the property.
  • His video detailing the dispute has amassed roughly 1.3 million views on TikTok, drawing wider attention to the listing’s rules.
  • Airbnb has not issued a public comment, and the platform is reportedly mediating as owners characterize the post as promotional use.
  • The 5,500‑square‑foot mirrored mansion near Joshua Tree, known as the Invisible House, features strict usage terms common to properties that charge separate fees for commercial shoots.
