Hi guys I just had my first negative experience with Airbnb as a host, I have over 100 review and multiple listings, but I had a strange situation where I needed help from Airbnb and I really regret contacting them.
my guest checked in 3 hours earlier than the check in time. not giving me time to clean. I showed up to the property hearing dogs barking.
since I couldn't get in touch with the guest I contacted Airbnb, they got in touch with the guest and confirmed that they checked in early.
I was cool about this but I requested that this particular guest not be able to leave me a review since one of the review questions specifically asks about cleanliness.
I was made to feel like I was asking for something wrong and they said I would be taking away the guests free speach and they just said that because they do not have a policy for this they can't and won't help me.
Has anyone had had a similar experience and is there anything we can do about this?
