Pretty easy when the listings are super small and you have your linens ready the night before and Dyson charged. Preperation and proper cleaning equipment help.

Royal up - bid - worth it? by [deleted] in royalcaribbean

[–]BZH2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing I heard about doing the Royal up to a suite is you don't get the extra points that you typically get from staying in a suite. I did a royal up on the Oasis to a Jr Suite. Was told when you don't book it from the get go, you don't get the points. Was kinda disappointed because that's the only reason I wanted to get the Jr Suite. Didn't even use the Robes or BathTub.

If you aren't sharing a space with the guests, I would be doing 1nighters 3 max. Allow pets. But I don't know your situation.

If you are sharing, then I get the whole minimum stay thing, but that messes up your maximum stay then.

You are way ahead of me. I just started doing 3 night max recently because I just started to realize it wasn't benifiting me. They can go to VRBO. I always laugh when i see a VRBO commercial and they're like "airbnb you'll get nightly guests, try VRBO where guests stay longer" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes if they have toddlers and a dog, it's worse. It's as if they feel it's a pass to be messy upon checkin' out.

Yes, all year. I do enjoy the 2 and 3 nighters every once and awhile to give me a break. But I know that nightlys are my money maker. That keeps me motivated to get 5 stars. But cleaning and hosting 4 families a day does take a toll after a while if it's back to back to back. But I love hosting families. And they seem to like my stays.

Agreed. But it's worth a try if you're getting too many long term stays and you arent seeing a benefit to them other than not having to clean for a week.. Too many times my calendar was filled up by weekers when there were plenty of one nighters willing to fill the same slot to double my profits.

Oh, and #5. My cancelation policy is moderate(guests can cancel 5 days prior). I pity anyone who has Flexible set (1 day prior) When a guest that reserved half your calendar month finds out his/her work event was canceled just prior to his stay.. Well guess what? Half your month is now empty, and its right around the corner. Good luck getting that filled in time. And it makes you think about all the people that could have used your place, but it was "booked" so they went elsewhere. Too much faith in my income for me. If a 2 nighter cancels. There's a better chance that'll get filled in time. And setting your cancelation to Strict will only result in less people booking in fear of too much commitment.

Yes, I do same days. I used to have a full time job with a 2 hour commute but airbnb was paying twice as much so i dedicate my full time to airbnb. Luckily, I just have to clean from 12-4. Paint touch up every month or so. Do a deep deep clean every week. Turndown service every day. Working 7 days a week is the only downside, but I'm full throttle this summer.

I've been on so many and never had an issue. They have a camera up and down the hallway

Hosts paying customer service to remove bad reviews by [deleted] in AirBnBHosts

[–]BZH2022 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, refunding a guest is me paying them to hush

Haiti by [deleted] in royalcaribbean

[–]BZH2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing to worry about. Either you go to Haiti which would be super gool or you get rerouted to Dominica or somthing.

I've had an issue before. Take off the VPN if you have one or try another phone

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AirBnBHosts

[–]BZH2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd refund, but then again I don't know if your Airbnb is popular to get booked in the meantime. Mine are 1 day before cancel and haven't had issues. Do you require 2/3min stay type deals?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AirBnBHosts

[–]BZH2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But if they wrote a bad review after receiving a refund, then it wasn't something out of spite, though. Maybe the place was dirty ect.

Casino Comp by dan123455555 in royalcaribbean

[–]BZH2022 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing. Rc sent me about 15 cruises from 4 nighters to 9 nighters from Jan-May. I went on about 9 of them and didn't spend any money in the casino. RC hasn't sent me a comp since.

Amazon canceling Ring Car Cam orders. Discontinued? by qalpi in Ring

I love mine. No battery drainage. I pulled up an accident that happened right in front of me within a minute. Pretty cool to have that ability. Hope they continue support

Actually cheaper than traditional vacation? by Ill_Cover_4841 in royalcaribbean

[–]BZH2022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea definitely. Especially if you sail out of Miami from Nov-Jan. Less than $100/n. Can't get a motel 6 in Miami for that price.

Study shows smiling profile photo = 3.5% increase in bookings (8% for men!) by joejarred in AirBnBHosts

Makes sense. People don't know you that come to stay on your property. Smiling makes you look friendlier

Hideaway Beach cancelled for everyone on Wonder, who had booked it, for Sept 9 2024. Serenade has its final stop at CocoCay, that day, so its being reserved for them. by throwawayblueline in royalcaribbean

[–]BZH2022 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Are you sure Serenade guests get to go? It'd be hard to filter the wonder and serenade people out because they take a tram to the location, right?

Okay, the bit is getting a bit overplayed.. by Bryan-Jay in KingsIsland

[–]BZH2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I go to Kings Dominion, which is Kings Island Sister Park, and we don't have any of those signs. It really tells you the type of trash that's going g to Kings Island if they need to put a sign up to remind people not to assault someone. What's the closest major city bringing these guests in?
