An Airbnb guest in Lapland, Finland, was left astonished after receiving a text from her host at 2am urging her to 'go out NOW'. Aurelie Bouti, who was staying in Rovaniemi, quickly dressed in her furry coat, hat and gloves before stepping outside into the snow.
There, she was greeted by a spectacular display of the northern lights, a phenomenon she described as 'the most beautiful' she had ever seen. The spontaneous middle-of-the-night moment, she said, was one she would never forget.
The host's thoughtful alert was praised by viewers on TikTok, where Aurelie shared the experience. One commenter joked that without context, the message might have caused a heart attack, while another called the host 'amazing' for ensuring guests didn't miss the rare sight.
National Geographic also commented, calling it 'a special moment'. The incident highlights the unique, personal touch that Airbnb hosts can offer, though some noted the potential for alarm if such messages are received unexpectedly.
