About safety

[Paula253]

Hi! I'm a new host and I'm not feeling comfortable with a situation: I've pre-appoved a profile called "Lilian" but the reservation was made by a profile called "Danilo", who says he is Lilian's husband. How is this possible? Should I worry? Thank you!! Paula

@Paula253:

If I have an Airbnb account and I take care of my family's business but my wife is traveling it would not be uncommon for me to book for her using my account. In our hosting experience it is usually the other way around, though. We've had lots of wives book for their husbands.

The guest was upfront in telling you what they are doing. That's a plus. You can look at their profile photos and see if only Danilo is pictured or is Lillian also pictured? You can also request more information about the trip, about Lillian, about things Lillian likes because you want to personalize her visit, etc. to get more comfortable.
