before I have some young unhouse trained guests stayed at my place. however, they made lot of mistake and very irresponiblity as people living in the house. door just close without lock, lost my house keys and forget to switched off the light in the living room and kitchen. the light was happened 4 times in a week. Then I set up rules and post on the door and fridge that
"if guest forgot to switch off light that will be a penalty of $5 a day as this is waste and elecrity in au is very expenisve, if forgot to lock the door if any item has stolen, you will liable for the cost."
And laterly there was 1 guest in her 50s, She was stayed in my place for 3 night. She was mainly come home for sleeping, I seldom see her, but I still texted to ask how was her sleeping, ok, she said fine, I told her that if she needs umberella ask me i can lend to her as was rainning so on..... so we did not have any argue or other things, end up I left her a good review, and She left me a bad review, said that I am a very commerical person, as she mentioned she saw the notices for above 2 rules. This old woman made me very sick of her, she did not think widely, only consider herself as a guest.
I offerred a low reasonable price of a space of AUD $25 per night inculded 4 bills, bathroom items in a conveniecnt location. of course people sh reasonable usage of utilities. if they waste I need to recovery it, people made mistake they need to resosponsible for their own mistakes, no the hose to bear all the lost. actually I found one mornight she forgot to lock the door but i locked it and i did not menionted it as nothing was happend. but she disliked my rules and gave me a bad review. I feel this woman has very narrow minded. I am happy for she isnt a host, does not chance to meet bad guests.
you know very hard to commnicatied with guest, you dont know they good or bad. they were acting nice on face but in their mind & heart were very evil.
I contacted to airbnb about the incoorect review left by guest, they always in the guest favour, said they have the right to leave their feeling of your place....
some of guests even steal my coffee in my own cabinet used with the wet spoonge, then lately I found my rest of coffee in the can grown mold, have to throw away.
