좋은 커뮤니티 카페에 초대해 주셔서 감사합니다.꾸준한 호스팅을 원하지만 요즘은 우리나라 여건상 그리많은 게스트를 초대하지 못하고 있어서 걱정입니다.

Hi Rebecca,

Thanks for the welcome message. It was nice to join the community of experience hosts.

I hope I can leverage on your experience and expertise to improve on my hosting experience too.

I will like you guys to have a look at my listing and critique or suggest new ideas to attract guests to the property.

It's being a wonderful experience so far, met with good people and some not respecting the property, I know that's part of the business. how do you deal with guest that defy the house rule, damage items and disrespect your property.

Lastly, how do you avoid potential guest that comes to do party in the property without disclosing same during booking, which is clearly against the house rule.

Many thanks,

Babatunde

Bonjour Rébecca,

Merci beaucoup pour votre message de bienvenue. 

J'ai hâte de progresser encore dans l'accueil de mes voyageurs en mettant en place ma propre conciergerie après 6 ans d'expérience en tant que hôte.

Au plaisir d'échanger avec les membres de la communauté
