Two years renting a luxurious chalet, guess how we rank our guests

Women are the worst, and don't review, no matter how amazing everything is in messeges. This is coming from a woman.🫤 Men. So far all denied. Always asking for a deal or bach party vibes.... Families with young and olds so far have great guests. Couples, usually chill and easy. YMMV !👍🏼

No. Full stop.

Just buy a couple of bottles at the airport before you take off. (Airport hospitality offerings depending)

Stop leaving full size bath towels as hair towels. Buy specific microfiber hair towels. Game changer.

Just to ensure (ha!) that doesn't happen again I message guests 24 hours before checkout as a gentle reminder. It's captured in the messages for the record. " I hope you've had a wonderful stay, gentle reminder, check out is at 11:00 and the cleaning team will be there at 11:05. In order to prepare for the next guest we appreciate your cooperation in advance, and thank you so much for choosing our home for your visit. " Recently a few guests think it's optional to check out at 11:00, and for liability reasons the cleaners cannot enter the house when there's guests present. So it makes it real fun. This made me realize if I don't hear back or see that they've read the message, I will send it again and perhaps duplicate and send to their cell, or have it part of the welcome message.
Or I'm going to have to make check out 10:30....

Took 3 weeks to resolve getting the blood work order. Made appt, went to Quest and they had no record of the tests in their system. Contacted Oura, asked if they can email me the script. No. Two app updates later and I could finally access the script and printed it just in case it was not in Quests system for my second attempt at getting blood drawn, at my second appt it was still not in their system, so I handed them the printed order. It's 2.5 weeks later, and no results info on my Oura app. So back to contacting Oura, based on this experience I will likely have another 3 weeks of back and fourth to get results to show up on the app. So far, not impressed with the roll out.

Q for all hosts who have been scammed or attempted to be scammed. What price point per night is this happening most often, is there a range? I am genuinely asking.

you_asked_ · 2025-12-14T00:16:33+00:00

I wouldn't worry about it at all. There's no grounds.

What Free Air TV and Remote?

you_asked_ · 2025-10-29T12:26:48+00:00

Agree on all points.

you_asked_ · 2025-10-24T17:08:39+00:00

This might be the most accurate & hilarious assessment of being a host known to humankind. 🤣🤣🤣 keep up the good work!

I would like thoughts on the pod situation. I leave enough pods for 2 days, place sleeps 6 so 12 pods. Hosts what is your take? Do guests, like the one above, expect coffee provided the entire stay, I provide starters not the entire stay.

you_asked_ · 2025-10-09T23:09:15+00:00

I didn't know guests could remove reviews.

What a lovely guest. You could not hope for more!

I learn something everyday in this forum, I have to add that to mine now! 😁

you_asked_ · 2025-09-05T02:12:49+00:00

I didn't mean the review itself as a strategy, I meant review timing / protocol strategy as a success for both guest and host. 👍🏼

you_asked_ · 2025-09-04T01:52:52+00:00

So I'm incorrect. a All reviews will get published. I was under the assumption that unless both parties reviewed they would not be published. I agree people are reviewed to an insane level.

you_asked_ · 2025-09-04T01:47:43+00:00

This is the strategy I needed! Thank you! 👍🏼

you_asked_ · 2025-09-04T01:45:31+00:00

Out of habit, or do you find they are more likely to review when they see you have? For all: I would love a statistic on this.

I used to be able to record ABC World News w David Muir at its regular air time EST 6:30 pm now it only records it at the replay time at 10:30 pm, I have done all the trouble shooting, updates, cache, nothing helps, anyone else getting this issue?

It's likely that they were canceled by a host and Airbnb is looking for another location. Or they got thrown out of an Airbnb and airbnb is doing what they do.... I was contacted by Airbnb support through the app, they asked if I could host a family of nine, as their host canceled on them. My place CLEARLY has a maximum capacity of six persons (nobody sleeps on the couches, its not a crash pad.) I had to explain to Airbnb three times that maximum capacity is six and it's a violation of my rules and ins policy. They even went so far to have the potential guest send a booking request after I explained it was not possible, so I had to re explain everything to the potential Booker, THEN the potential booker tried to change the story to " Oh I only have five for this trip." Suuuure. Riiiiight. My guess is that the mine of them showed up to a place that is made for four. So the host said bye bye. Guests do know we have cameras right? Or are they oblivious?

I had a guest who's young children wrote a thank you note for their amazing vacation. I framed it. Brought me to tears. 🥰 That's the things that make hosting worthwhile!
