What was hidden behind this unassuming bookshelf left Airbnb guests SHOCKED

We all love a good mystery, don't we? There's something so intriguing and exciting about uncovering hidden secrets, whether it's an unsolved puzzle or a long-forgotten relic. That's probably why shows like 'Sherlock' and 'CSI' remain hugely popular even after all these years – people can't get enough of the suspense!

So, imagine our delight when we came across this story of two very resourceful travellers who uncovered a hidden room in their Airbnb rental using nothing but their wit and intelligence. We were on the edge of our seats!



TikTok user Grace Grundy and her friend were about to check out of their Airbnb accommodation in Wales when they made the shocking discovery. You can watch Grace filming the event here:

Grace's friend can be seen fumbling around an ordinary bookshelf. ‘Look at what we found in our Airbnb, literally on the last day.’ Grace said from behind the camera.

‘Just thinking it’s a bookshelf, all good, nothing to see here,’ Grace narrates as her friend reacts in amusement and shock. ‘What? Oh my god, where does it go?’ Grace continues.



Upon closer inspection, the bookshelf is actually hiding a secret door! Grace’s friend casually opens the door to reveal...

An enormous concealed room complete with couches, a piano, a fireplace, and a foosball table! ‘Oh my god, it’s a secret room and a secret door!’ Grace exclaims as she steps inside the room to take a good look. Her friend stays by the door and jokingly tries to lock Grace in the room. ‘No, no, let me in.’ Grace says as she hurries back to her friend.

The now-viral video now has over 2 million views and 132,000 likes! People do love a good mystery, don’t they? After sharing their discovery, many were stunned that Grace and her friend didn’t notice anything unusual about the place during their stay.



One user commented: ‘How did you not notice a whole side of the building?’ While another replied, ‘Or the hinges?’ Grace agrees with the commenters, saying that ‘in hindsight, the hinges are SO obvious. The lamp was in front of that bit though, so it just took us so long to spot them.’ She explained.

A couple of people joked around, with a commenter saying, ‘Imagine if the owners had just been sitting, watching TV when you opened the door to their house.’ While another added: ‘POV: The owner hearing you coming into their house and running to hide’, referring to the bit in the video where Grace runs back to her friend.

According to the owners of the Airbnb, the secret room doubles as a communal area that’s free for guests to use during their stay. However, the bookshelf leading to the room wasn’t mentioned anywhere in the listing. Interesting and a little bit spooky, to be honest.
