In most of the requests I get, people set their guest amount as 1, but when I send them a message before accepting or declining as to the “total number of guests”, they almost always admit that they have more than one guest. Sometimes it’s up to 5 extra guests that they have not initially admitted to. I then have no choice but to have them cancel the reservation and begin a new one with the correct number of people staying. (I should note that we charge a small fee for more than 2 guests). This undoubtedly puts me in the position of possibly losing the reservation completely. I have complained endlessly to Airbnb about changing the algorithm so that it appears the way it does in an “inquiry”: where a prospective guest can add people to their reservation without having to cancel and start anew. Any suggestions?
