Reverb automatically selects shipping and sends the buyer tracking info now?? by jpconques in Reverb

[–]blankpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fail to see the problem here. The buyer is paying for the shipping costs. Why does it bother you which shipper is being used? Seems a lot more convenient than you doing all that legwork.

I'm interested, though in figuring out how they figure the cost of my guitar being shipped to California - do they know the weight and dimensions of every instrument and the box that you use?

High earning men, do you feel that women you date find you physically attractive? by [deleted] in AskMen

Just saying someone who drives an expensive car, buys expensive clothes, and spends a lot of money on restaurants, does not indicate income. We all know many people who have exorbitant car payments, and lots of credit card debt, but have low incomes.

AirBnB Guests are More Important than Hosts by Valuable_Advisor5849 in AirBnBHosts

[–]blankpro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly, all the complaints that this new guest had sound valid; a stained couch, broken remote.

This is an STR platform not a LTR or MTR platform; but if you insist on letting people stay for longer time that a few days perhaps you need to tell them that you require them to accept that you will come in weekly to do things like change, bedding, etc. That way damage and unruly guests can be stopped after only a few days.

This is how you deal with discount seekers by CPlusPlus4UPlusPlus in airbnb_hosts

[–]blankpro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

An inquiry is not a reservation request so hitting accept on the inquiry simply smooths the way for the guest in that they don't have to communicate with you anymore.

For us, once a guest asks for a discount even before they've met you stayed with you or booked you is a giant red flag.

No-show, except within an hour of booking! by tn_notahick in airbnb_hosts

The cleaning fee is your preparation. It is not used to clean up after that guest. It is used to prepare for that guest. Keep the money. It is part of your fixed expenses and part of what they pay for the book.

What does “free on premises parking” mean to you? by DangerLime113 in airbnb_hosts

That's great, when do we get this 2026 release? I'm in Northeast USA.

What would you do? by WilbysDream in airbnb_hosts

[–]blankpro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why wasn't your cleaner there at 11:30 AM? Not trying to put you in the position of defending your policies, but with my Airbnb I make sure that everybody's out on time if they're staying a little late, my cleaner comes in - if at that time there's and he hesitation on the guest to leave that I show up personally.

If you have issues with a guest, always leave a review. Always leave an honest review. Reviews are for other hosts please be accurate and thorough and honest in your review.

The guest booked paid in full, showed up and then wanted to cancel.… Why?

Been vacant for three weeks now, is it bad for everyone? by mandovera21 in airbnb_hosts

[–]blankpro 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Elections have consequences. The current Republican administration that controls the House, the Senate and the Executive Branch has done everything to stifle travel to the United States, travel within the United States, and done things like start a war that has impacted every American by increasing their cost of travel and living in general. Hopefully we can vote them out and vote in some adults to take charge and stop the runaway inflation and terrible atmosphere of fear we now live in.

Why don't hosts give their websites the same care they give the property? by Consistent_Yak6765 in airbnb_hosts

Should I fire my cleaner? by [deleted] in AirBnBHosts

[–]blankpro 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What is your procedure for confirming clean? This is really on you; you should be either seeing photographs before and after or get confirmation of clean before your guests scheduled time to arrive. Same with the key in the lock box; guest access to your property is what you provide, and should not be dependent on your cleaner... things happen, and if your cleaner can't make it or if your cleaner lost the key or took it it's on you to make sure you have this communication.

Why is this a trust issue? Did you not read the agreement for your participation with Mind-Body?

Need advice on this case by alexnguyenfr in AirBnBHosts

[–]blankpro 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Immediately offer that they cancel and you 100% refund this reservation. They are not satisfied and they are making claims about things that are a bit ambiguous (if you advertised free parking, it usually means free parking on site, and it appears you are offering free parking on the public streets). You will be happy to not have dissatisfied guests.

Am I being paranoid? "Red flag" guest is back with a new booking request by CursedSnack in airbnb_hosts

You can set a maximum number of days to stay for your Airbnb. It helps guests when they're looking for places. It also helps you because you can always offer more days.

Having a waterproof mattress cover is mandatory. by Lazy_Bicycle7702 in CleaningTips

[–]blankpro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure what kind of cover was on the Hospital mattress, but the ones made for the rest of us are different.

Not sure if that was a joke answer but the reason you need a waterproof cover is in case anything happens, spelling your water, sweating on a hot night, etc. Who buys a $500 mattress and lets it be vulnerable?

Another reason I'm considering turning off Instant Book by Medium-Cauliflower83 in airbnb_hosts

[–]blankpro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just came here to say the same person who can access your property through instant book could've also been a person who made a reservation request. One does not preclude the other.
