It's a fine balance deciding where to stay when you go on holiday.
Do you go for budget or do you blow it all on a once-in-a-lifetime experience? Well, how about a free stay in a four star hotel? That might sound a little too good to be true, and with all these things, there's always a catch.
While you won't be streamed 24 hours a day like one hotel in Japan that only costs $1, you can stay at this gorgeous resort for absolutely nothing...provided to agree to one small stipulation.
In one video, YouTuber Dwayne Muffin explains what it's like staying in Ibiza's 'strangest' hotel room but it being completely free.
The Paradiso Ibiza Art Hotel warns that the room is 'not suitable for wallflowers', but even with a free room, you might expect a bit of privacy. Instead, the all-glass room is in the lobby. While your stay might be free, we're not sure we'd be getting much sleep with all those peering eyes.

Muffin explains how he didn't know how he was going to sleep because it's lit up like a Christmas tree, and from other people's account who've stayed there, the fact you can't turn the lights off is a bit problem.
He wakes up the next morning and says that he actually slept better than he thought.
Better yet, he didn't have anyone knocking on the window because he admitted that's exactly what he'd be doing.
His experience is similar to travelers Margaret and Corey Bienert, who booked the Zero Suite in 2022.
Margaret said it unsurprisingly wasn't that fun: "When we were there, we found out the lights never turn off and you're basically on display all night long."
The couple apparently didn't realize that the Zero Suit is more of an experience, with the guests encouraged to be part of the art. In a separate video, she added: "You are the art, which means people want to see you do something."
With many asking whether the pair were going to get 'intimate' in the Zero Suit, Bienert reiterated that was never on the cards.
The Bienerts should've probably have read the terms and conditions, as the Paradiso website clearly states: "A glass-walled room in the middle of Paradiso Art Hotel lobby where you can sleep one night for free.
"Also available for artistic performances, radio broadcasts, DJ sets…the possibilities are endless as long as you like being the centre of attention."
Some loved the idea of staying in the voyeur's paradise, with someone replying: "It's an adults-only hotel...Y'all I'd be giving you a SHOW!!!! An exhibitionist's dream 😍"
Another chimed in: "My social anxiety/love for a free night's stay would cause me to hide under the blankets and sleep the whole time, " while a third said, "I am NOT a cute sleeper so it's a no from me 😂"
If you're a life model or just fancy trying to catch some Zs while feeling like you're in a goldfish bowl, the Paradiso Ibiza Art Hotel could be the one for you.
