What a lovely listing you have. I really like the style you've gone for and have added it to my Wishlist!
You say you've been adding to the rules over time, but the only additional rules I can see on your listing are RE dogs and cats, not any of the stuff you've mentioned in your post, so I don't know if you have since deleted a lot of them?
I normally tend to agree with @Anonymous 's opinions, and his advice above seems totally logical, as always. However, I have a different approach.
I have a long and detailed list of house rules, which I have added to over time due to experiences with guests, much like you have described. I honestly do not care if guests think I am crazy or wind up being parodied on Tik Tok. In fact, I couldn't care less. I've only ever had one guest question my house rules, which was early on in my hosting experience, and she was one of the worst guests I have ever had to deal with. Airbnb actually removed this girl's review/ratings because they agreed that she was totally unreasonable. That is exactly the kind of guest I DON'T want. If my rules scare those types away, then good.
Yes, it's boring for the guest to have to read through those rules. Yes, it's boring for me to have to make sure that guests actually read them, but I can guarantee you that it has saved me all sorts of headaches. People don't show up hours early for check in or check out really late anymore, which used to be a constant issues. Guests don't invite random extra people over to the house without asking anymore, which again used to happen frequently.
In addition, when you have a problematic guest that you need Airbnb to help you with, CS will often check what you have written in your house rules. Is it unreasonable for guests to be making a lot of noise at 3 or 4am in a shared listing? Well, apparently it only is if you have written in your house rules that this is not allowed.
As I have a shared listing, I probably need more rules than someone with an entire unit, so I'm not suggesting you make your rules as long as mine, and what I DON'T think you should do is add a new rule each time ONE guest does something insane. I have had guests do the most bizarre things, but I don't think it's necessary to add a new rule each time. What should be covered is the stuff that a number of guests do. When it happens regularly, that's when you know it's something that needs to be made clear to future guests. That is why a lot of my rules are to do with things like check in/out and extra guests/visitors, or include things like "Please don't park on the neighbour's drive," rather than "Please don't help yourself to 20 bottles from the wine fridge," because I've only ever had one crazy guest who thought the latter was okay.
So, yes, prioritise your rules, but put in whatever you think is necessary based on what a number of guests do and try to word it in a way that is not aggressive but also not apologetic. Some 'rules', which are more like instructions, or perhaps about supplies, such as how much filtered water you provide, could go in a house manual instead. I also agree with @Anonymous that a lot of stuff can be covered off during the house tour if you welcome guests in person. I find that people are more receptive to this when it's done in a friendly and informative manner and more likely to remember it too than something they read weeks or even months before.
