@Louis-Marck0 Also when you send a booking request, try to be informative and personable to the host. While there are many Airbnbs that are just investment properties owned by absentee hosts and run by property managers, listings run by small-time, hands-on hosts are usually properties the host has a very personal interest in.
Some guests will just write something like, "Hi XX, looking forward to coming." or worse, just ask a question - "Hi, do you have a barbeque?"
I tend to get seasoned Airbnbers with quite a few good reviews as guests, and here's the type of initial messages I usually get.
"Hi Sarah, Just found your listing and it sounds perfect for me. I've been to your town before and am coming back for a couple weeks to surf. I'm not into the bar scene, so after a day of surfing, I'll be happy to come back to what sounds like a nice quiet place, to relax, read my book and catch up on emails. Hope you can accept and thanks."
I have zero qualms about accepting a guest who communicates like that.
It's also good to let the host know that you have read their house rules and agree to reespect them. Many guests don't scroll down or click through to read that part, which can lead to all sorts of problems, so hosts like to be reassured about that.
