Guest(s) Photos - prior to booking??

[Nancy968]

I'm losing a lot of money!

What is airbnb thinking when hosts can no longer view guest photos prior to booking? 

Is the new ridiculous process really to accept a reservation, then see a photo,  then be scared to death - no way they're staying at my house - cancel a reservation asap!

Without hosts, there is no airbnb??  If guests are screaming  photo discrimination - stay at a hotel!

airbnb is putting my life in danger with this new stupid process.

What am I missing here?

It is already much discussed in this community and not new. Airbnb also explained there policy more then once.

So why are you "losing a lot of money"  and is "your life in danger" about this photo-not-showing issue?

Best regards,

I am declining bookings due to no photo.  That's how I'm losing money!

With no photo available until I accept a reservation, it puts me in an ackward position.  If I don't feel they are acceptable guests I will have to discriminate and cancel reservations.  Now they know who I am?? 

The whole situation is just plain stupid.  What is Airbnb doing to fix it for HOSTS!

Enlighten us, @Nancy968;  what in a photo is likely to have you "scared to death"?
