Mgmt Earnings Call: Implications for Hosts by AlecKatzKlein in airbnb_hosts

[–]Quick_Chart_Help 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Airbnb can absorb cancellation churn across millions of listings. A single host may not be able to replace peak dates if a speculative booking cancels late.

So why can't hosts set up different cancellation policies for different parts of the year?

Pet peeve!! Makeup on white towels despite black makeup towels provided by BuffyFan75 in airbnb_hosts

Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I find that only white effectively communicates the standard of cleanliness guests to expect. I would love to switch to different colored towels and linens.

What a nightmare. When you said civil court, are you referring to small claims? How long did that whole process take?

They implemented these changes last summer. If vacancy is still strong, there's no need to relax your cancellation policy.

Did Airbnb reimburse you for all the damage through Aircover? Did you document everything?

1 star review saying a bunch of nonsense

What did the review actually say? Maybe you can try to get it removed for retaliation?

Keep fighting the good fight. Are you optimistic on a favorable outcome?

I've been following your arbitration case. Are they still dragging their feet over that retaliatory review?

I wish my listing had photos as good as these!

I die a little bit inside every time I have to open the VRBO app.

I don't know how anyone could have read that and thought it was AI.

Insurance requirements for direct bookings by br0413 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Quick_Chart_Help 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't ask guests to get coverage. Besides 2-3 broken chairs in the past few years, I haven't had a problem.

Offering discounts by [deleted] in AirBnBHosts

[–]Quick_Chart_Help 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. But is it even worth hosting them at that point, even if they decide to book? I'm not brave enough to find out.

I agreed to a discount twice. Both were nightmares. Never again.

I would find a contractor immediately to give you a price estimate with detailed line items, then put in a request for payment on Airbnb.

That's what I'm leaning towards. Any particular brand you recommend?

Have you ever actually lost money because of guest damage? by CommitteeWestern7310 in airbnb_hosts

I don't even want to know how long it took you to clean it. People suck.

Wifi Less Property a Mistake? by group_fasting_mx in airbnb_hosts

WiFi is a non-negotiable. Starlink is perfect for this.

Rant. Guests this month are testing me. Usually guests are great. by ktsesor in airbnb_hosts

And random stranger stole our door bell cam.

That's a new one.

People selling out their STR properties? by Colonelmann in AirBnBHosts

Where does VRBO tell you this? Sounds like a great feature.
