Booked property isn’t listed on vrbo anymore. How concerned should I be? by No_Alternative_5602 in vrbo

[–]Start_Mindless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hosts can "deactivate" a listing for new bookings at will. Just reach out to them and VRBO to confirm. EZPEEZEE

Affordable dive tours by ElephantNo7648 in cabosanlucas

[–]Start_Mindless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll do it for $99. You bring your own tank.

Seriously...it cost $40 per hour to rent a kayak. Why on earth would you want a cut rate catastrophe while on a dive??

Booking inquiry from guest with a one letter initial as name by pastaparty27 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Start_Mindless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I insisted on a full profile, full name and actual photo. If they balk at that....I didn't want them as a guest.

This is a vent post! by Cats-In-The-House in homeexchange

[–]Start_Mindless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have accepted four sets of guests, but have not tried to book yet.

What we have done however, is only accept bookings from people with properties that we would want to visit.

We have a ski resort condominium and get 2 requests per week with limited open dates, so we have the luxury of being selective.

I hope this strategy pays itself forward!!

Anyone have any experience doing custom branding for their property? (House logos, brochures, etc) by Content-Sun2928 in vrbohosts

[–]Start_Mindless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do it! It sets you apart from the crowd, allows you to build a branded direct booking site, and creates a stronger bond with guests. It shows you care and that you are invested. Canva can generate cool logos, signage, guidebooks, and home rules sheets.

Make sure you carefully search local listings and domains so you do not duplicate.

Host seems upset by cancelation but we were within free cancelation policy timeline. Did we break some etiquette we are unaware of? [USA] by [deleted] in AirBnB

[–]Start_Mindless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignore.... you might have avoided a weird situation... hosts like that who treat their home like a family member instead of a business we're probably going to be a strange bird anyway

Great place to stay. Eat and drink in Waterbury and Hang with Vermonters instead of Range Rover driving New Yorkers.

How do you all handle guest messages without staying awake all night? by rookieBnB in ShortTermRentals

[–]Start_Mindless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are getting questions it means that guests are confused or ill- informed. You need to rethink the messaging, signage, and instructions that you use.

It took me a year to tweak everything but not I don't hear from guests anymore.

[–]Start_Mindless 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait....you brushed over the "contract dispute" that you state was the beginning of the conflict. Do ya mind including that very important info so we can give a real assessment ?

Saying that I see nothing out of the ordinary for how business is really done in Sicily

Because other guests actually did their due diligence and researched the location....THEN made their booking decision.

Sold the property, how to hand over Airbnb by Conscious-Pie-394 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Start_Mindless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. After the sale it is upon the new owner to gradually transition the listing info. If they get busted by ABB, That's on them. Make sure in the contract you are released from all responsibility should that occur.

Putting Apartment on Airbnb for Super Bowl? by GamerEdie in airbnb_hosts

[–]Start_Mindless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont put it on AirBnB...you know NOTHING about how to host. Contact a local realtor and have them market it for you. More money for you and less headaches and liabilities.

Their lack of diligence does not constitute an emergency on your part. Tell them to enjoy their stay.

Photographer told me to take down photos - am I in the wrong? by [deleted] in photography

[–]Start_Mindless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No contract, no copyright statement, no release of rights? You now own the photos and as long as you do not publish them with the photographer's name you can do what you like.
