Adaptability

Hello fellow Airbnb Family!

I am thrilled to share that in just 4 months, I have had the opportunity to host 4 guests!

It was bumpy at first, but I am very grateful to the Airbnb Support team!!! You guys are SUPER!

As I have learned from my guest's feedback (so grateful to have 5 star reviews), it has become easier to anticipate what I need to do, be more efficient, less "overachiever" and just enjoy the opportunity to interact with persons of different cultures and ages. 

I continue to be excited about - "whom will I meet next?" What new opportunities to connect will there be?

My main point: enjoy the moment and be the best proactive host you can be, but more importantly- good energy and good vibes, while being professional!

Best always

Lana

Hi @Lana1222 😊, 

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing feedback experience in the community!

I’m truly happy for you, and I wish you continued success like this. 😍

What do you think has been your secret to receiving such incredible reviews from your guests?

Hello @Elisa !

Thank you for the encouragement!

I am very new for sure, but I've found that most people are like every one of us - just want a comfortable , clean place to stay, someone who is easy to get along with, respectful, kind communication , know that any issues will be resolved as soon as possible, and feel like it's a pleasure and not a chore to have them as our guest.

It's our vibe as much as theirs.

Sometimes things don't go as planned and we may not "vibe" with every person the same way, but nothing beats respect, boundaries and kindness.

It also helps when as a host you are attuned to your instincts when persons book, so you don't start off with someone whom you sense may be a challenge.

I'm enjoying the experience of different cultures very much and my guests and I have so far been able to freely share our stories.

All the best to all doing their best!🌻😎

Thanks again.

Warm regards

Lana
