Single Verification and No Profile Picture

[Gurneet0]

Dear Friends

We are Just Not Even One Month Old in Hosting at Mohali, Chandigarh, India

A peculiar issue which keeps re-occouring is that guests have No Profile Picture and the only Metod of Verification Used by Airbnb is Verifying there Email.

I just wanted advice from experienced hosts as to how authentic this is as we all know creating email i d is so easy.

Request Suggest options as to how to deal / respond to such guests.

Thank You

Regards

A host does not have to accept the Air BNB basic verification if you have Instant Booking, @Gurneet0. Go to Booking Requirements and add positive recommendation as one of your requirements.  Then you can respond to inquiries from these guests asking them to add verification and pictures.  If the guest does not want to do so, then you can decline the inquiry.  I would not blindly accept whatever Air BNB does for verification in any case.  You have to make your own judgement.  Good luck!!

Thank You @Linda108 for such sane advice.

Will keep your words in mind for all future bookings and while interacting with prespective guests on Airbnb.

Thank You for your time
