Avoiding a possible bad guest?

So I have someone asking about staying with us and I know AirBnB frowns when you decline someones request.  Is there a procedure to report a possible bad guest? See below for there "heading"

OMG!!! Perfect post!! I walked into my back garden to find a man who had booked the room for one person having sex in the guest room but with the slider shutters open so, well I saw more than I wanted to and so would any kids who happened by or look down from their windows! BTW, turns out he is married, the woman with him just did not turn out to be his wife. This guy was on the heels of the supposedly broke woman, with cancer, who destroyed my place last week breaking too many things to even bother listing!  She explained that she doesn't look where she is reaching when she goes to pick things up so she breaks alot of things. How do I file a claim on a woman who I know is struggling?  I guess talk more before accepting? I wish we could call them and have a conversation but as far as I know we don't get the traveler's phone numbers until after we accept, right?

 

Maybe we could sort out some questions to ask. Will you have any special needs while you are here? How many people will be in the party? My last two both showd up with undisclosed extra people. Will your mistress or your wife be accompanying you? Are you planning to have really loud sex in my guest suite as I prepare my family's dinner in the kitchen next door?

Hi @Maurice9 and @Jc7,

 

Have you seen the Host Circle? It's a private forum here for hosts to dicuss more sensitive topics.

 

These forums are public. 

 

Cheers,

You can go to a user's profile and report them by clicking the little flag under their name (on desktop version). You'll be given different options once you do that.

Airbnb discourages cancellations but you can always decline a guest. Obviously this one was a fraud anyway. They were just delivering the online version of a prank caller's heavy breathing....oh joy : /

@Maurice9 Looks like you won't have to worry about him.  He's gone from Airbnb permanently.  🙂

@Clare0 ,

Why did you say he's gone from airbnb? He's profile is still on.

@Anonymous When I clicked on his name / link I got the little girl who dropped her ice cream.  Please send me a new link if he's still there!

@Clare0,

It's strange, when I clic on his name in the OP post and choose the app I can see his profile as active while not if I choose to open it with Chrome.

Hope Airbnb have it delisted.
