Hello!
I'm a brand new host to a home in Sedona Arizona and received my very first guest this past weekend. The weekend was very successful and she gave me a rave review!
I am using Instant book, so I got a request from the individual and I took a chance based on what she wrote in her message to me, and that she had all the verifications, despite the fact her account was brand new.
Today, I received two similar requests, where the individuals are brand new, don't have any reviews and both did not have government IDs on file.
I asked them to submit the government IDs to their profile, which they promptly did.
Am I doing this right? I'm really looking forward to instant bookings from folks that have a proven track record. I know I am taking a risk in hosting these folks, and using Instant Book, but the fact that I only have one review might be the deterrent for seasoned travelers at this point?
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
Michelle
