The tourist booked a room after seeing photos posted by the hotel showing an ocean view, but in reality, the wallpaper with the ocean view photo stuck on the wall was all there was. In the video, he shows the hotel staff the room photo he saw on his smartphone at the time of booking and complains that he expected the sea to be outside the window. In response to the tourist’s complaint, the hotel staff explained that the photo and the room were the same, and that the wallpaper was also part of the room, so the hotel was not at fault. However, the staff seemed awkward about his claim and soon burst out laughing.

Most netizens reacted with disbelief to the video. Comments included, "Sorry, but this is too funny," and "If this happened to me, I would have been furious." Among them, one netizen satirized the hotel’s attitude, saying, "If that’s the case, shouldn’t we pay the accommodation fee with photos of money?"

Earlier, a similar incident occurred recently in Italy. An Argentine woman booked an 'ocean view' accommodation for her trip to Italy, but it turned out that the view outside the balcony shown online was a photo attached to the neighboring building. The woman strongly protested to the hotel at the time, but the hotel insisted that the room was the same as the photos posted online. The woman then filmed a video of the accommodation and uploaded it online, where it garnered over 3.1 million views and more than 2,000 comments, spreading worldwide.
