Company trying to book for employee

[Stephanie600]

Hiya,

I’ve just had someone contact me:

”  Hi, Stephanie! I’m Axxxx and I book business trips for Cxxxxxxxx and other employees at Bxxx xxxxxxx Your place looks like a good fit for the employee on this business trip. I think they’d love your place!”

I refused the booking: I don’t want someone staying in my shared house that hadn’t even seen the listing so doesn’t know what to expect (For example, I have two dogs). How can this be allowed, particularly in a shared house? I believe it goes against all the original Airbnb principles. Has anyone else experienced this? Which person writes a review? How did it work out for you?

Thanks @Letti0, @Lisa723 & @Linda108 for the explanations. I'll investigate and ask the next time I get such a booking or request. Looks like I may have missed out on some ligitimate ones in the past.

Steve.
