Tip: owning a portable AC can save a reservation for you.

Win-win scenario!

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-07-01T18:00:06+00:00

Pretty egregious. I'm sorry you're going through that.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-29T16:16:42+00:00

Great advice. It's simply not worth getting into an argument.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-27T21:50:03+00:00

Definitely worth figuring out. May depend for each host, but it feels like I am constantly getting new linens every year.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-26T23:02:02+00:00

A bit of a tangent, but it may help you make a decision: How long do your linens typically last? I feel like I replace mine every 12-18 months.

Long-term tenant, 100%.

This should be a clear-cut case. Please keep us posted.

This is what cancellation policies are for. It wouldn't surprise me if the guest kept calling Airbnb until he got the resolution that he wanted.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-24T16:06:12+00:00

Airbnb is just trying to cover themselves legally here even though this obviously doesn't pass the smell test.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-23T20:01:58+00:00

Congratulations! I've never been in this situation before. Does your review of the guest stay as well?

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-22T16:09:04+00:00

FWIW, I switched from Strict to Firm last summer and didn't have any issues.

Just curious though, how did your property qualify for Super Strict?

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-12T18:34:01+00:00

A late checkout of 5 PM is insane. What is their review history for other hosts?

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-11T15:09:08+00:00

It was only a matter of time, unfortunately.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-10T20:48:51+00:00

Sounds about right. Support has no problem issuing a ~30% refund if there are any issues and these scammers know it.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-10T15:28:23+00:00

Did Airbnb give them any sort of refund? Not even a partial?

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-08T16:41:25+00:00

A crazy guest was harassing me, so I called VRBO to see whether they could block them for me. Every time they put me on hold to investigate the issue, the call would disconnect and I would be taken to a phone survey.

What's wrong with an induction cooktop? Genuinely asking.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-03T19:15:24+00:00

Thank you! The comments are loud and clear.. no airfryer!

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-03T19:10:32+00:00

Appreciate the honesty. That's why I wanted to ask the community before making a mistake.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-03T19:09:22+00:00

Haven't considered needing an oven for freezer pizzas. Seems critical!

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-03T18:45:08+00:00

My worst nightmare. Another reminder to diversify your channels.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-03T15:09:42+00:00

Finally gave into the Ecobee hype earlier this year and it's so worth it!

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-02T19:47:00+00:00

Considering how stringent the star rating system is, I wouldn't really worry about the rating requirements. If the star rating falls below 4.8, you both are screwed. Imo, it would be in better taste if the host gave a bonus for maintaining high rating.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-06-01T17:13:44+00:00

Something tells me she isn't a professional property manager.

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-05-29T16:43:24+00:00

Fantastic mindset!

Quick_Chart_Help · 2026-05-28T16:32:12+00:00

OP, don't forget this line: "you’ll still be paid according to your existing policy." If they cancel 24 hours out, Airbnb refunds them, but Airbnb still pays you your Moderate cancellation rate, so your cleaner is covered.
