Vegan hosting

Vegan hosting

Hi all,

are there any fellow vegan or veggie hosts in the house?

When I started hosting a room in my vegan home a few months ago, I did consider how I want to handle kitchen access and food on the premises. I landed on taking the risk of lower conversion rate by setting a house rule of only vegan food being prepared/stored in my kitchen. What I have found is that guests simply don't follow the rules. Which makes for awkward situations - yes, I've learned that some simply just didn't get it (don't get me started on that), and I wonder how other hosts are handling this - if at all?

I could also just say that the kitchen is not available to guests - but seems unfair to everyone based on a few exceptions.
There's also not really a great way to feed that back to Airbnb, the only way is to give a lower rating in the 'followed the house rules section'. I don't actually think that anything happens based on that though - other than share the feedback with the guest.

I'm about to rent out my room on a mid-term basis to someone I know, so won't have to deal with this for much longer, but am still curious to find out how others handle this or whether you have any tips to share.

Have a great day,
Fio

Maybe Airbnb can add an option to the kitchen amenity, which shows it is a vegan location.

I offer the use of a kitchen to guests, but would appreciate such an option.

I am thinking also of providing an extra discount to vegan guests.

Such an option would be nice, I agree.
