Hosts who request that a potential guest confirm rules before accepting - What if they don’t confirm they’ve read and agree to house rules? Do you decline the booking request? Is it counted against you if you state the reason was they didn’t answer your message stating that they have read and agree to house rules?
Part of our vetting process for guests with no reviews is confirming the guest count and asking that they agree to the house rules. Generally the guests have always said yes, and then I accept the request to book. They usually answer within 30 minutes.
We had a request to book that hasn’t answered and it’s been a few hours. I don’t want to accept if I’m uncomfortable with the booking. I also don’t want to be penalized by Airbnb. Any advice from hosts?
