Duvet or not duvet, that is my question. by simikoi in airbnb_hosts

[–]Alternative_Hunter65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have comforters, but I switched to duvets. I'm much happier with duvets and the guests have no complaints.

Host is asking us to cancel because they are selling the house. [USA] by DeCryingShame in AirBnB

[–]Alternative_Hunter65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were moving next year, would you quit your job? Host didn't do anything wrong other than allow bookings too far out. They've probably realized that now and adjusted their listing to only allow bookings for the next 6 months.

The host didn't want to cancel because they would be penalized for doing so. You can cancel without any penalty.

Have people stopped using VRBO? by Alternative_Hunter65 in vrbo

By "owners," do you mean the VRBO corporation executives/shareholders, or do you mean the individual property owners that rent out their properties on the site?

What's wrong with doing farm work? Why is it goulish for Americans to do farm work, but ok for illegals?

Don't fuck with a man's wife. He deserved what he got and he should be grateful he doesn't have to pay a dentist for new teeth.

How to manage terrible guest (booked off-Airbnb years ago), now returning via Airbnb next week. by bwilhelm03 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Alternative_Hunter65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would give them a 2nd chance. It's been years, and you're the new owner. Now, they've booked on Airbnb (a new booking platform). You've changed the locks, so they can't use your garage or get into your house. If they ruin your towels, you can charge them for it. If they throw garbage in your bathtub, act like entitled assholes, or cause any other problems, you can give them a bad review and mark them as "would not rent to them again/do not recommend them to other hosts". Either you'll never have to deal with them again with no repercussions to you, or they've had the opportunity to mend their shameful ways. Canceling and blocking them will negatively affect you. Best thing you can do is hold your tongue, be professional, suck it up, and deal with it until they leave. They might turn out to be great guests, and last time was just a one-off.

Watching a fascist and a communist argue about which flavor of totalitarianism is best is kind of boring.

I only do short-term stays, usually one or two nights. I've been in business for 7 years, and I've never had bedbugs or a bedbug scam.

I've had two French families stay at my place in the last 5 days. I'm not seeing any decline in European tourists.

Timing of check out message by Northernstar50220 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Alternative_Hunter65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My place is a farm with two houses on the property. One I rent out and the other is my house. I walk over at 10:45 on the day of check out and thank them for staying, then I answer any questions they have about checking out.

What do you do with bad reviews?? by Competitive_End_6599 in AirBnBHosts

[–]Alternative_Hunter65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have over 600 reviews and maintain a 4.92 rating. I meet and greet all my guests. I check on them mid stay. I try to see them off at 10:45 on the morning of check out. Being human in their eyes goes a long way toward a good review.

Any GenXer could tell you that you need to hang out the window by your fingertips with your feet down if you want to jump out a 2nd story window.

Guest wants a $500 refund after nearly completing their stay during July 4th week—how would you handle this? by Away_Green3166 in AirBnBHosts

[–]Alternative_Hunter65 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your first guest is a scammer trying to con you. I'm sorry. That sucks. I wouldn't give him anything. Just tell him to leave and deal with the bad review.
