I have been a host on Air BNB since 2016.
It started when I felt alone in my big house after the separation of the then life partner. I used to live in shared apartments a lot. But I didn't want that anymore. A colleague advised me that I could offer my 2 rooms in the lower area as Air BNB.
So I started the ad and since then I am a host on Air BNB. Air BNB makes it easy to offer your accommodation and I like the fact that the entire process runs through the platform. This also includes that Air bnb takes a part of the revenue adavon. A clever business model.
I was able to continuously improve the accommodation based on the feedback from my guests. In the meantime, I have a new partner and we are always very happy to receive guests again. it is a welcome change, because we live very much in the country and have little contact with others. So we always have more or less social exchange with guests from all over the world. Before Corona, we had many guests from Asia. After Corona until today there are more guests from Switzerland, or the surrounding countries.
Fortunately, we have had few problems so far. I once had a guest who registered as 1 person. Suddenly your friend were with us. But Air Bnb has also supported me in these matters. Especially the community thought I like very much.
I see our Air Bnb not as a source of income, but more as the opportunity to meet interesting people. Next year we will install a kitchen in the Air BNB to increase the comfort for the guests.
As long as we like it, we will still run the Air BNB.
We are very happy with the support we have received from Air BNB.
