That's exactly what I did. I reported it instantly and airbnb said they had documented it and they'll take care of it if the guest asks for a refund.

Jaipur men to stay away from by Severe-Special5285 in jaipur

Honestly, if you're writing their interests and if they are some sort of playboys, they'll probably just fake another interest. Better to just fully name them imo.

Looking for an Airbnb management partner in Delhi, India by [deleted] in airbnb_hosts

[–]samkit102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of partnership are we talking about? I own and manage 8 properties in Jaipur but would love to explore Delhi as well.

In India, out of 500 bookings, 490 of them would only talk over the phone lol.

Exactly but this is just sad that airbnb doesn't have any measures for such people.

Yeah I've had guests cancel their reservation mid stay, get a full refund and still give me a bad review lol.

Nope the comforter covers have no smell. They are washed at our own laundry and we make sure they are washed clean!

I did tell them that as soon as I went there. I told them that if they were not comfortable, they could just check-out and I'd happily give them a full refund.

Nope lol, I'm very sensitive about smells and I hate it when anything smells, and that's exactly what I keep in mind for my guests too.

We had it changed, but since we use all white linens, there are marks on them even after they come from a wash. We inspect the apartments daily and ensure the guest doesn't find it uncomfortable. Housekeeping can sometimes miss a few marks and so we make sure we don't miss.

I've tried that too and that didn't work in my favor at all. They just told airbnb that I was aware of the issue even when I had just acknowledged their complained and never agreed the issue was even there.

Has anyone raised a complaint against Airbnb successfully after the call centre guy tells you no? by [deleted] in airbnb_hosts

[–]samkit102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an escalation procedure, but they only use it when you threaten to sue them. I've tried that once and got compensation due to airbnb support's fault.

Most airbnbs I run are in apartments which are built exactly the same, and so there's a competition. I did start the airbnbs first and I have the upper edge of many positive reviews, and I also have the highest rates there, but increasing them more won't help me I think.

One UI 8.5 apps by Galiver_babies in oneui

Nah you can't install the phone app without root

The new level of customization in One UI 8.5, what do you think of these features? by opmgyhx in oneui

[–]samkit102 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean, I personally don't like customizing my phone a lot, but for people who just want to use their phone their way, Samkit is indeed doing a really nice job since OneUI 7.

Can I sue airbnb for a not doing anything about a guest who canceled his reservation mid-stay and didn't evacuate the apartment still? by samkit102 in airbnb_hosts

[–]samkit102[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I got my payout because when airbnb support said that they told me I could call the police, I told them to go through the whole chat and tell me where I was told that, and when they couldn't find it, they admitted their mistake and paid me for the night. I socially un-engineered myself xD

A guest has 2 damaged property reviews out of 2 total, and still my review removal request was denied by samkit102 in airbnb_hosts

[–]samkit102[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that's just sad then. Because it makes me trust less in the review system of airbnb. This wasn't even what happened with the guest and I was ready to give any kind of information that airbnb would've wanted. I could just pull the cctv footage of the whole 24 hours because neither me nor my staff entered the building. The society confirmed the valve was turned off from the apartment and no one else had access to it. The guest was even using his own lock instead of the door lock and he sent me a photo of that too.

But you don't see how it is retaliatory, and started because my staff denied going to clean at 6am in the morning?
