I rent a private room in my full-time home, it is the upstairs of my house, so it accommodates 4 people and they have full privacy upstairs. The only shared space is the bathroom.
To preface this, I have in my listing in several different areas, as well as in the house rules, that this is my full-time home and I host my own guests occasionally on the main level of the house. (I also have a guest bedroom for my own private guests, and I clarify this in the listing.)
I had Airbnb guests stay last weekend. It was a sister (who booked) and brother (20 somethings), along with their parents (late 50s). They were very nice in person, and I sat and chatted with them for awhile. They talked about the church they were going to attend, and their prayer group, etc. They met my boyfriend, who stayed over one of the nights of their stay.
In their private review to me, the daughter said: "...I'm also sure you're cognizant of this, but I would just be aware of the demographic of your guests before letting [your boyfriend] stay over. Despite being in my mid-twenties, I was just a little caught off guard that he was staying over while you had guests. I would maybe encourage you to be more up front with your guests if he's going to continue to stay there. That could be a deciding factor for some guests..."
Here are the several ways I describe in my listing that I host my own guests, and they MAY be around when I have Airbnb guests:
"Bathroom is shared with me and possibly other guests, as I love to host friends." (this is said twice, in two different sections of my listing)
"This is my full-time home. I love to host my own friends and family! I have a guest bedroom on the main level, and I will occasionally have friends and family stay over."
I really have not yet (in my year of hosting) felt that I need to clarify specifically that I, a woman in her 30s, may occasionally have her boyfriend stay over. I feel that saying that I host friends and family, who may also be in the house and may stay over, is more than sufficient. I feel that their feedback was more a comment about a man staying in my bed when he and I are not married, and less that I had a guest over in general. To answer the inevitable question: I am absolutely CERTAIN that they did not (and could not have) heard any sort of sex noise coming from my private room. I take hosting seriously, and I would never create that sort of situation for my guests. Likewise, he and I were not in the main part of the house (where my guests would possibly hang out), and we stayed out of their way.
My questions to the community: Have you ever felt judged by your guests if you happen to have a different "lifestyle" than them? If you were in my position, would you add further verbiage to your listing that explains that a romantic partner may stay over?
