Some person tried to make a reservation to my place. Before accepting I usually like to chat a bit to get a feel for the person. However this guy sounded strange, he was less interested in my apartment but rather when he see me. His profile is also very new (Nov’17) and he doesn’t have a profile picture, I told him sorry my bad, my place is actually not available on those dates after all. I clicked decline and provided a reason to Airbnb that this person made me feel uncomfortable. Well he just sent another reservation request for a few weeks later!
Question:
1) if I decline him again now, will I get penalized?
2) how do I block someone from booking my place if I feel something is off about that person? It’s a personal safety issue so Airbnb should understand that and protect their members.
