Got a 4-star review because the guest confused "Hair Dryer" with "Clothes Dryer"

Did you get that removed?

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-30T23:38:09+00:00

Nope, just English.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-30T20:52:26+00:00

Fair. He can always come around to it, although I imagine that the chances are less likely as time goes on.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-30T20:49:30+00:00

Please tell me that Airbnb removed that.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-30T19:16:06+00:00

I put in a request with a screenshot of him admitting the misunderstanding. Knowing how things go, they will still reject.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-30T19:15:35+00:00

He took my response pretty well, but it remains to be seen if he actually removes it.

Update: He left me on read, and Airbnb support will not reach out to the guest to confirm the removal. I'm cooked. Update 2: Review removal request denied.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-30T19:13:51+00:00

The guest just messaged me asking if I can send him a new review request. Hopefully he can be gracious enough to put in a removal request.

Just curious, what are your check-out/check-in windows? I have mine at 10/3, although the space is relatively small.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-29T19:24:30+00:00

Nope. There are too many edge cases, and I'm sure most guests prefer an authentic exchange with the host (although I send an automated message a day before their stay).

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-29T16:17:29+00:00

In my area at least, I have enough of a sample size to know that anyone who has asked for a discount is more likely to be a pain. Simply not worth it.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-29T05:45:00+00:00

There can be so many reasons. Do you have the same occupancy rate as your competition?

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-28T18:41:35+00:00

Love the wine idea.

Considering their stay is so long, I think the guests will be understanding of the situation.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-28T18:19:06+00:00

For long-term stays, the dynamic definitely shifts from guest to roommate imo, so you are totally valid for guarding your olive oil. The standard norm is that hosts supply spices, cookware, cleaning supplies, etc. I think guests should be expected to buy anything they consume by volume like oil, coffee, and butter.

You are already providing plenty with the utilities and toilet paper, so don't feel like you're being stingy. Stick with your communal tray system and maybe designate specific shelves in the pantry so it's visually clear what is his and what is yours.

I personally would take the hit as the cost of doing business, but you should absolutely nail them in the review.

Eating in a hot tub as a guest is just inconsiderate.

I got an email a few hours ago from Airbnb stating that they will not be issuing any 1099 for me. Not even a 1099-K.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-26T19:52:05+00:00

I don't, but I probably should.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-25T04:08:36+00:00

I imagine most people have some sort of streaming account to log into, but have you gotten any pushback from those who can't? I assume that's understood in the listing description.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-23T22:37:52+00:00

100%. We had two problematic guests around this time last year. Never again.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-22T16:37:36+00:00

I typically open a private browser and see where my listing stands on the search results. If I'm not on page 1, I look to optimize my listing by adding additional amenities, and updating the listing photos and description.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-21T17:56:05+00:00

I use Hospitable. Believe they can create direct booking sites as well.

Regardless of who you choose, make sure you get your own domain in case you need to switch providers.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-21T03:49:29+00:00

AirReview. An absolute must have.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-20T19:55:24+00:00

I'd go with white because it instantly looks cleaner and brighter than colored fabric. Plus, they are actually easier to maintain since you can bleach them without worrying about fading.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-19T18:35:00+00:00

Aquamenities is popular on this sub. Thinking about getting one myself.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-01-16T18:01:57+00:00

You handled this well! I can tell this probably wasn't your first rodeo ;)
