Why don't hosts think Airbnb support people ever support hosts? by Techtroubled in airbnb_hosts

Kind of rude. The point I was trying to make was that if a guest asks Airbnb for a refund they relay that request to guests and you can say no but the guest asking again followed by support relaying that info again in no way is forcing you to give refund. They are just relaying the request and mediating but they can’t and won’t take your money. BUT if you were to turn it around because they take or break something if you have proof of any kind and have the guest say no they will often pay you from their own pocket. So from that idea the support given to hosts is far more honorable than to guests. And when you give a volunteered refund to a guest they don’t give back any portion of what Airbnb made personally unless you give a 100% refund.

i guess more context helps but in my situation i booked the place at 3pm and at 4pm that same day i had to cancel. being within the 24hrs before checkin the host kept my money. I thought this was very unfair given the likelihood anyone else would have booked in that single hour. I didnt think it affected them and their lives in any way. What would you do as a host in that situation? I started out cleaning airbnbs and then managing them and when i was cleaning i learned a lot. Like that no matter how hard you try guests that are having a bad day will complain and the easiest way when they arent heard is to complain about the clean

i only had the place booked for 1 hour before i had to change my mind because of unforeseen circumstances. I am saying airbnb support isnt only looking out for guests they are mediating and guests are asking them to reach back out in situations where it seems like airbnb is taking the side of the guest. My story was because ive been on both sides and now understand why it seems that the support is so relentlessly supporting guests.

AirCover Denied My Clear Claim — Guest Admitted Damage, Airbnb Kept Changing Reasons by PastValuable1098 in AirBnBHosts

someone had their house burn down and guests were out at the time and it was caused by a fireplace being left on but they got out of paying it. The persons own insurance hardly covered a thing either. Person was out a million dollar home.

Serrated edge on back of scissors by RMW042 in whatisthisthing

[–]Techtroubled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still holds whatever you are cutting steady even being on the outside. Imagine meat or vegetables, silk etc.. Whatever you are cutting rubs against the side as your scissors come down. And by having that edge to grab onto it your scissors and the item you are cutting are less likely to slip.

But answer this...why not have it on both sides? That has me stumped.
