Hi All,
Even though it is written in our Additional House Rules that the names of ALL guests must be turned in prior to approval, when asked to do so, some people get hostile.
I don’t understand why @Airbnb doesn’t make this a standard practice?
Not unlike hotels, we are running housing accommodations for tourists from all over the world. Some of these homes are places we bring our families and children to, and we need to know the names of the people who sleep in our kids beds and get to know intimate details about our homes. It is a matter of safety as much as accountability.
We trust them to make fires in our fireplaces, cook on our gas stoves, use our BBQ etc… We trust them to have the keys to our homes but we somehow are not expected or allowed to know all the guests’ names?
I just has a young lady from Turkey call me unprofessional because I declined her reservation after she refused to tell me the names of the other 5 guests in her party. I did not ask for passports or drivers license, just names.
Please do better @Airbnb. We need you to review this practice.
I’d love to hear from other hosts on this. Do you ask for Names or IDs or address or we in the minority here?
Thank you for reading
