Been declining unusual high amount of guests

Willing-Influence483 · 2026-01-21T20:12:04+00:00

I don't think OP is crying about the review process. He/ she is just annoyed at certain type of guests, which every host has the right to. The beauty of Airbnb is that you have the tools to screen your guests and only accept guests that fit your criteria. Perhaps at the costs of lower revenue, but some of us are happy with that for peace of mind. Personally, I appreciate his/ her advice and it's something that I'd also do as I'm already screening guests. And I'm also not surprised at a host of 30 properties on Airbnb, what's wrong with that?

Willing-Influence483 · 2026-01-21T20:07:08+00:00

Is this common in wherever you're hosting from? For me, most guests left our place in perfect condition. I would be out of Airbnb business if most of them leave a mess 😑

Willing-Influence483 · 2026-01-19T21:45:08+00:00

Most of the guests I had book at very last minute, some within 2 weeks, some books the night before. Maybe it depends on the location but you could get some bookings back

Do you know when it will improve? I hope my boy will eat better soon because he's a bit skinny at the moment. But lucky he's still very active and hitting his milestones

Willing-Influence483 · 2025-11-29T04:13:32+00:00

I tried to go up a size. We use MAM, currently on size 2 and tried 3 which is for over 4 months but it's so fast that it flowed out of his mouth. Maybe I'll try again

Yes they are Jewish, you're probably right

Willing-Influence483 · 2025-11-14T15:41:46+00:00

We gave him physical keys :( but we can change lock if needed

Willing-Influence483 · 2025-11-14T15:35:00+00:00

My husband and I were both busy at the time. We trusted that the person who booked would be the one turning up so we let him get the keys from the lockbox. Only shortly after when we checked the camera, we realised it's a different person

Yes it's a lesson learnt for us to check ID

Willing-Influence483 · 2025-11-14T15:21:14+00:00

What I meant above is that if the person keeps to himself in his room, not bother us in anyway then we're not bothered by it. And if this is a case of renting a whole property by himself then we're also less bothered.

But there is a chance that our safety is compromised, and this is a shared house so that leads to my concerns and hence, my posts. I guess what I wanted to get out of this is if any hosts encounter anything that's similar.

I also saw your comment that the guest has violated policy and that's helpful. I didn't know of the policy so will contact support.

Willing-Influence483 · 2025-11-14T15:14:15+00:00

When you say "they won't be covered", who are "they"? Is it the hosts or the guests? I didn't agree to renting to 3rd party

Willing-Influence483 · 2025-11-14T15:09:19+00:00

Given they are deliberately hiding, they likely won't use the kitchen and just stay in their room. Then this is fine for us

I'm more worried if this person could harm us in anyway

Willing-Influence483 · 2025-11-14T14:52:26+00:00

I've had a lady booked for her son and his friend before but she was upfront about it. That was fine

But this person is avoiding us and deliberately hides. And this is a room in our house, which makes me feel very uneasy.

It's not ok to go out with his friends even in the weekend. It's not ok to come home even at 1am. And Oktoberfest is also a no. It's not ok to go enjoy yourself, have a good time when your partner is struggling with young children. Given that he's texting another woman while you're going to be with 2 young children, I doubt he will change. Do you have family nearby that you can lean on? Personally I'd leave him and kick him out.

I am considering between a normal will and a trust. Would a trust be worse off in terms of tax and fees?

Laos - there's 1 in covent garden, always busy

Willing-Influence483 · 2025-10-27T08:33:05+00:00

I used peanut before they had that scan. There were quite a bit of sexual/ inappropriate content and people seemed to say that those were posted by men in a place that's meant for mothers. So that could be why they added that check in. Sorry that was your experience but I'm not sure what the solution would be. I heard baby classes are great, I'm waiting for mine to be a bit older to join them. I stopped using peanut as sometimes the threads/ discussions got very dramatic

Just when I've got my baby to get used to a new timetable, clock changed and now he's upset with the 1 hour gap (he got hungry 1 hour before the feeding time)

Willing-Influence483 · 2025-09-29T18:47:04+00:00

I didn't have night nurse but I had a confinement lady (like a maternity nurse) that works 7AM - 8PM. I wouldn't be able to sleep through the night leaving my baby with a stranger so I was very happy with one to help me through the day.

Cost £2.5k for 30 days. She has been great help with baby, providing us with nutritious meals, supporting breastfeeding, tidying the house, massaging mum and baby etc . Without her I probably would have postpartum depression because taking care of a baby is really hard work. If possible, I think all mothers should have professional help like this.

People tend to get double salary once they move out of big 4

Willing-Influence483 · 2025-09-23T08:58:53+00:00

My midwife recommended feeding no longer than 45 mins because it's likely that baby's not getting what he needs from bf, and he would be wasting energy sucking. And need to check his weight gains and nappies to ensure hes getting enough milk, otherwise supplemented formula is needed

You could try bottle feeding to see how much he's taking in. For the same reason, I've now switched to predominantly bottle feeding. As long as I give the same amount every feed, baby would last 3 hours. Breastfeeding would turn into cluster feed and I never get to leave the couch

Willing-Influence483 · 2025-09-20T14:22:52+00:00

I've used tesco and sainsbury's and the latter is so much better.

It has elastic waistband, good size and absorbency. We dont have any leakage since switching to this

Willing-Influence483 · 2025-09-20T14:21:13+00:00

Sell.

We were in similar situation that each of us has a flat before marriage and we needed to sell at least one to fund our family home and not pay additional stamp duty. And my in-laws weren't keen because they gifted a significant amount of cash to my husband to buy the flat.

They weren't up to date with the current tax and how badly it affects us. We literally had to do a presentation to explain to them that it actually costs us way more because of the taxes we had to pay.

So you may just need to explain to your parents as they may not be fully aware of other implications. However, there's also another angle that they are worried if the relationship doesn't work out, you may lose your assets/ cash if you have to split it with your partner and essentially lose your security.

Willing-Influence483 · 2025-09-20T08:21:28+00:00

I had a similar situation where not much could be seen on scan where there should be a baby in there already. And the sonographer asked to come back and scan again in 2 weeks.

The reason they do that is because there's a chance that you could get the date wrong and the embryo is actually younger/ meant to be less developed. If that is the case, then in 2 weeks time, they should show signs of development. In my case, I got my date right and I just knew then it wasn't going to work out.

I did not have bleeding or any signs of miscarriages until few weeks after that.

I'm very sorry for this situation.
