House Rules

[Harriet4]

I have 4 guests for four days and suddenly realized the guy who booked has been a member since November 2016 with no reviews.  I asked him if I was his first Airbnb and he said no which leads me to my question.  His group is not following the house rules and I have spoken with them twice. I went downstairs while they were out today and the kitchen is a disaster with dirty dishes everywhere. 

 I'm beginning to think they stay places, leave a mess and then leave no review so no one ever knows what slobs they are.  I have posted that the quiet hours are 10pm to 8am yet they have kept me up until 11:30 pm the past three nights showing absolutely no respect for me.

 How do I handle this with Airbnb so they don't do this again to another host? They haven't done anything truly destructive so I'll wait till they leave tomorrow morning, clean the place up, including washing all the dishes, and leave a review that probably will never show.  Any suggestions???

[Harriet4]

That is what I'm hoping for. After they leave this morning I will take pictures that are time stamped and send them to Airbnb with a detail of the events. People like this should not be allowed to continue taking advantage of the system.

@Cristian828    What?

[Helen3]

Why did you post this @Cristian828  - what's the context? 

[Sarah977]

@Helen3  I'm assuming he posted it as the most insanely long set of house rules he ever ran across.

[Michelle1810]

Undoubtedly that long for a reason.

[Dana1086]

OMG

[Michelle1810]

I started with a half page of additional House Rules and am up to 6 pages - ALL in response to stupid stuff guests have done over the years (broken refrigerators, washing machine thrown off kilter, burned items - both surfaces and cookware - in the kitchen, spills and stains that were hidden, broken items that I was never told about but found later, marks and knicks on walls.....and more).

If I were you, I'd copy those rules, modify them for your property, and use most of them. If you don't CYA and there's an issue, it's more difficult for you to get compensation and sometimes issues level up to legal matters outside Airbnb. Be smart. A lot of people are lovely. A lot are not. Have your House Rules locked down.
