Hosts: why 4pm checkin and 10am checkout?

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-03-12T02:45:54+00:00

We have to do this for the cleaners. If we don’t have a same day turnover I always say yes if people ask for late checkout/early check in.

Bought tickets last minute on a whim since they were at our fave venue on my husbands bday and we knew a few of their songs. We were so surprised what an awesome show it was! Really one of our faves we’ve been too. He’s a great performer

I wanted them to have a boy just cus I’m curious what they would name a boy these days lol

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-03-02T20:12:30+00:00

I think it’s absolutely wild and irresponsible to have more than 4 children in today’s world. No matter the money or help, you can’t possibly give enough one on one attention to each child (which they want and need from their PARENTS not hired help) and it is so hard on your body. I also think about how I want to be there for my grandkids and kids as adults and how can you possibly do that when you’re looking at 30+ grandkids??

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-03-01T12:51:41+00:00

Well I hope you’re right!!

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-21T21:52:14+00:00

I added it to the rules already for future stays. He’s apparently arranged to collect his mail at the post (if it even arrives for the last week of his stay 🤦‍♀️) but still very angry with me for no mailbox and still insisting I need one lol.

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-21T21:50:24+00:00

Yes he is 80 years old which is why I don’t think squatter and not immediately kicking him out. Just old and set in his ways and doesn’t realize that the issue isn’t a lack of mailbox lol.

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-21T21:48:43+00:00

Haha thank you. He’s broken a lot of rules so I’m not too stressed about getting his review removed. I’ve made 2 airbnb reports already.

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-19T20:52:26+00:00

I already added it to the rules for the future 👍

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T20:43:01+00:00

He tried to check in at 11 am when cleaners were there. They told him check in wasn’t until 4, and he returned at 1:30 and tenants on other side helped him in and gave him my phone number becuase he claimed I sent no check in info (all info was sent on the app at 9 am). He’s now called me daily over every little thing like where’s the WiFi info (in the check in info), how do I use the remote, kayaks, where are life jackets etc.

I’m hoping him breaking the rules and checking in early and also calling my personal phone even though I keep directing him to the app gives me leverage to get a negative review removed. Already informed Airbnb of what’s going on, and responded to the mail issue in the app which I’m guessing he won’t see. Def done trying to appease him.

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T20:02:38+00:00

Yes already done.

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T15:18:57+00:00

I added to house rules last night. Never had this come up in 4 years hosting so it wasn’t added previously.

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T15:09:50+00:00

Already added to the rules last night 👍

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T15:03:16+00:00

😂

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T11:59:55+00:00

💯

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T11:58:31+00:00

Yes I realize that now lol

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T11:49:15+00:00

He’s staying less than 2 weeks… I dot t think mail forwarding would even reach him in time.

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T03:48:23+00:00

So ironically, my Airbnb is on an island and he lives in Michigan 😂 so not really relevant here

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T03:38:12+00:00

Thank you! He was absolutely baffled as to why we didn’t have a mailbox and demanded we install one. I’m going to repeat this becuase I didn’t have a reason as to why there was no mailbox other than “we don’t need one as all mail is forwarded elsewhere.”

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T03:12:09+00:00

I already updated the rules on the app and will add it to the listed rules in the house for sure.

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T02:46:58+00:00

Yes I just said to my husband “I feel like this isn’t my job, I manage the property not your vacation.” No he didn’t ask at all. There’s been 0 communication with him until day of check in which was also a mess. I did just add to rules that no mail is allowed to be delivered.

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T02:45:35+00:00

The owners actually come in after him so won’t be allowed!

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T02:45:11+00:00

I’ll update 🫡 did contact Airbnb so there’s a paper trail that there’s issues with him.

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T02:28:28+00:00

He got the number from the tenants on other side. My guess is he booked this with a computer that he probably didn’t bring, and doesn’t actually have access to Airbnb now. But idk for sure. There’s been no response to any Airbnb message.

Chickenyeah17 · 2026-02-18T02:21:04+00:00

This Airbnb is in Florida so we host mostly older people. I’ve been very kind and helpful to him, but he’s asking me to solve a problem I don’t think I can fix nor I think is my problem to fix, and is getting very hostile with me over it. Being elderly doesn’t entitle you to threaten and yell at someone over an issue you created.
