This 5-star takedown of an ‘influencer’ looking for a free hotel stay is a proper hall of famer

This isn’t the first time we’ve featured a business’s fabulous response to an ‘influencer’ on the lookout for free stuff.

Full disclosure – it’s not even the first time we’ve featured this business’s fabulous response to an ‘influencer’ on the lookout for free stuff.

But it’s so good we reckon it will always be worth another look. Well, one at least.

This particular social media influencer – specialising in ‘lifestyle, beauty and travel’ – was looking for free accommodation in Dublin for themselves and their partner.

And we don’t know about the hotel – we’re sure it’s lovely – but the response was a five-star treat.

Boom.
