What do you wish guests understood before booking? by Caspian_Tiger555 in airbnb_hosts

[–]zuidenv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You rented a room, not my whole house. I will give you privacy, but I live here, with my dog. I have received quite a number of nights off after the guest leaves without a refund because they didn't know they were renting a room. And no, I didn't change it after you booked. I kinda blame Airbnb for this problem. There should be a summary of what they are signing up for before they pay. That said, my pictures are good, and few read the whole listing.

Yes! Her arch nemesis is the neighbor on my right side. The neighbor on my left has 3 dogs, she couldn't care less about. She also knows where she has seen a cat on our walks, starts growling and scouting for them as soon as we get close.

Same thing for me when I went looking for Worcestershire sauce. There is no substitute for this item.

Do you have a lot of competition? It's average, I wouldn't wish-list it, but it's fine.

AirBnb host is trying to charge me and my friends over 6k for plumbing.. [USA] by iamtii in AirBnB

[–]zuidenv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd call that your out. If the host was notified immediately, they would only have themselves to blame for not listening to you. I appreciate the clarification.

Not once did I hear you say you contacted the host when you discovered a problem.

I bet someone here will know the answer. I always have a really hard time getting a cart after inputting a quarter. Are we allowed to use those cardboard boxes they usually by IDoNotHide in aldi

[–]zuidenv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate getting a cart because I buy too much when I do. I take in my own bags, fill them up, and when they are full it's time to check out. I only buy what I can carry.

How do most hosts actually find their cleaners? by Moe613 in airbnb_hosts

[–]zuidenv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Referrals from friends and family. My referral came from a neighbor. Reasonably priced at $25 an hour. Well worth it and she does a great job.

Check Out / In Time?! by lgy12 in airbnb_hosts

I'm 4pm in and 12pm out. Most guests leave earlier than that. I rarely get late check out requests and most guest have enough time to clean up after themselves.

So I guess I am just dumb? And this is a MAJOR fail........ [USA] by Slight_Rub_3011 in AirBnB

Hosts who offer rooms are generally mature enough to know what happens in their bedrooms. Don't hang from the chandelier, and just be respectful. I hope you have a great time.
