Ash, we all had to start out from somewhere. Not one of us here entered the Airbnb platform with a bag of good reviews behind us!
Look for the words behind the booking request, or if you are using Instant Book that first introductory message .....is it complimentary, or is it aggressive?
Ash, how would you respond to a booking request that came from this profile?
No reviews, nothing......she had only just joined Airbnb....If I just went by her history and her profile picture, I would have declined her request....... but Ash, look at the lovely passive way she approached me!
I accepted that reservation and I was proud to give her this review at the completion of her stay!
I was so pleased I was able to get her Airbnb career off to a good start.
Ashley, if I can give you some advice. look for the best in people, not the worst....you may be surprised how many beautiful guests there are out there in the world.
Like I said, we all had to start from somewhere!
Cheers......Rob
