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?]]>

I declined and politely explained we can’t honor a refund for this request and he just requested new dates for basically the same price.

To be a good host I’m tempted to accept but I’m wondering if he’ll be able to cancel the new dates within 24 hours and get a full refund? Is the new date booking considered a new booking? Or no because it’s changing dates on an old booking?]]>

It’s a slipcover so I can wash it but I’m not hopeful the dye will come out. What are my best options for trying?

If I do need my submit an aircover claim it’s asking if it needs to be replaced or if it can be repaired/cleaned.]]>

Thank you for the confirmation, Regarding the booking you received was it was due to guest having a review rating for 3.5 which qualified for your listing based on the settings. If you do not feel comfortable we can go ahead and cancel if you give us the permission for a full refund.]]> More context: I asked why the guest can book with 3.3 rating, the support gave below answer

It started with the guest parking in the neighbors driveway despite clear instructions on where to park. She didn’t respond when the neighbor knocked on the door or when I sent her messages telling her to move, despite reading them. My neighbor was understandably angry because he couldn’t get into his parking spot, and had to park at the end of the street. She finally responded the next morning and moved her car to the correct spot. On checkout day, she asked if she could check out late, and we told her she could but to confirm when she’s out so i know when to send in the cleaner. She never responded, and never confirmed checkout.

My cleaner just let me know that there was vomit all over the towels and linens, and empty bottles of alcohol everywhere.

Am I overreacting or does this warrant a bad review? What would you give the guest?]]>

It’s expected to last about a year, and we don’t know when the noise will be at its worst. There will definitely be construction noise during the day and probably early in the morning. We already provide earplugs, and we’re considering a white noise machine, but I’m not sure how much that would actually help.
Would you proactively inform guests about this?

If so, would you put it in the listing description, or mention it in the booking message after someone books?]]>

I’ve tried a few budget options in the past, but they either felt flimsy or the bed part was uncomfortable and squeeky for overnight guests.
