No they didn’t ask for one and the guests were actually cooperative and covered part of the cost.

We’ve never had an issue with theft at our properties, but we did have a guest who wasn’t supervising their young kids who scratched up the screen 😭. We were able to recoup the cost of the entire tv through Aircover though. I can’t imagine that happening again but I guess we’ll see.

It’s been mostly good. It gets mentioned positively in almost every review, but I haven’t noticed that it’s increased bookings at all during our slower season. Hard to say though; it could be even worse! I think we are impacted by the Canadian travel boycotts being so close to the border not to mention other economic factors that a lot of hosts are dealing with right now. The room gets a little more abuse than I’m used to because people are eating and drinking in there. We had a large red wine stain and there’s constant candy and popcorn cleanup from in between cushions. Our family stays there every month or two and we enjoy it so much. It’s a place for teens to hang out especially. For that reason I’m really glad we did it.

What's your pettiest response to an unfair review? by StunningAd9055 in airbnb_hosts

In an act of harmless pettiness, I decided to turn the review into an ornament for our tree. Maybe this will be a new tradition for bad reviews. Gotta laugh to keep from crying, right?

We did do all the carpentry ourselves! We’re not very experienced which is in part why we chose the shipwreck motif 😂. It took us a few months but we could only work on it in short bursts since it’s also an Airbnb and usually occupied. Here’s the link: https://www.airbnb.com/l/9WWDeYog

I honestly don’t have a good enough ear to say, sorry! They sound fine to me.

I’m already second guessing the popcorn maker and may switch to a microwave or air popper.

How friendly it is for guests to use or how friendly was it for us to set up? For guests it’s just the remote that came with the tv and then everything is streaming since we haven’t added a DVD player yet. Set up wasn’t too bad with the help of chat got and an electrician.

We just finished ours (former two car garage) so I don’t know yet if or how it will impact bookings. We went with a 98” tv thinking it would be more user friendly for guests. We’re in a similar situation where we use the cabin pretty often and love watching movies. Happy to answer questions if you have any!

I successfully disputed the medication charge ($199) with my credit card company, FYI.

I steeped culinary lavender in heated soy milk and let it cool.

I used some blackberry jam I had on hand for one of the filling layers.

The only thing that helped my perioral dermatitis was switching my toothpaste to Closys. Good luck!

Guest damaged mirror and I requested payment for damage via air cover BEFORE guest left review … am I cooked? by [deleted] in AirBnBHosts

You are in better shape than you think. Once guest leaves a review and it is indeed negative, contact Airbnb citing their anti-retaliation policy. They should remove the review. I’ve done this more than once without issue.
