@Julie1361 I wouldn't personally, but I'd want the full names of all the guests and maybe some ID. Some hosts have had a business owners book for their employees, but fail to send the listing info, house rules, etc, to the employees. Then the actual guests arrive, knowing nothing about the place except the address, and proceed to break house rules, like smoking indoors, because they had no info. So this might be a way of a host protecting themselves.
Different hosts request different info from guests in order to feel comfortable with the reservation. Just because a guest hasn't encountered something before doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it. If you're not okay with providing certain info, explain that to the host- if they insist, you can look for another listing which doesn't have those requirements.
