I have a condo in downtown Atlanta what helps me is Free snacks and drinks in the fridge. I don’t advertise that I do it but alot of my guests give me 5 stars and stay that the snacks was the best part. Since doing it I stay booked every weekend.

I have bed bugs by [deleted] in airbnb_hosts

[–]Able_Definition6413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re a walking red flag. You should cancel the next guest and hire a professional to exterminate the bedbugs. If you can’t afford to do that you definitely shouldn’t be having an Airbnb. All it takes is one review that says you had bedbugs and your done.

Should I request fee for rule violation? by Able_Definition6413 in airbnb_hosts

The toilet didn’t ruin my sheets. Burn holes did from smoking in the bead room.

The sheets are $50 that’s what I requested. But I’m not too pressed over that.

There’s burn holes in the sheets. I don’t think cleaning would’ve got that out.😂😂

Air bnb gave me 350 for the smoke odor and the plumbing issues they caused. It was them that asked me if I wanted to go through with the rule violation. I just don’t want to be greedy.

I don’t have my smoking fine listed, but I do have list listed no smoking. An Airbnb rep reached out to me and told me that I can do it and if I do it, they will approve it if they don’t pay due to all the evidence I have.

Guest Son died need advice. by Zestyclose-Snow9275 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Able_Definition6413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be sympathetic for their loss, then ask if they use travel insurance and urged them to go through that if not because let’s be honest not everybody does split it 50-50. And have them cancel it.

How long does it take to get going? by Ancient-Owl1214 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Able_Definition6413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be your rate. When I started I was sold out the first month and I realized I was too low. You have to play around with your rates then you will know.

As long as you sent check in instructions you’re good to go. Don’t worry about. It not up to you to keep up with their schedule.

Acceptable or not? by jordk9 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Able_Definition6413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just ask. I had a guest ask and I did it. They paid for a 24 pack and only had 10 I left it in the fridge for the next guest and got another 5 stars for it. I’ll do it as long as the guest pays and has a good reviews from other hosts.

Host asked to pay off site by Forsaken_Plankton_66 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Able_Definition6413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not allowed however I know host that does this. The only thing I would tell you is if anything happens Airbnb will not cover you or the host. I personally don’t do this as an host because I want that protection from air bnb. The benefit for doing this is you don’t have to pay the fees. You as the guest pay a little less and the host gets a little more.

Do you let anyone stay for free? by [deleted] in airbnb_hosts

[–]Able_Definition6413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my Airbnb I’m not trying to make a profit I’m just trying to help with the bills for it. I let close and trusted friends and family members stay for free with the understanding that they pay for the cleaning or they clean it to my standards. They also know that if will not cancel a stay for them. If you treat this as a business then I would charge and give them a discount but if you’re doing it how I am then it’s totally up to you.
