✅ Accept Payments Only on Airbnb: Never accept direct bank transfers, PayPal, or cash transactions outside the platform.
✅ Screen Guests Thoroughly: Look for verified profiles, check past guest reviews, and communicate via Airbnb before accepting a booking.
✅ Be Aware of Overpayment Scams: If a guest claims they “accidentally” sent extra money and asks for a refund outside Airbnb, this could be a scam.
✅ Use Airbnb’s Resolution Center for Disputes: If there’s an issue, always report it through Airbnb rather than handling it privately.
✅ Secure Your Property: Use smart locks, security cameras (in allowed areas), and always verify guests upon arrival.
By following these precautions, you can enjoy a safe and stress-free Airbnb experience. Stay alert, trust your instincts, and report any suspicious activity to Airbnb support. Happy hosting and safe travels! 🚀🏡✨
