Hi @Joseph0.
Like @Rebecca0, I always clarify dates and times in my first documented statement on Airbnb message site to the guest. Plus the time of arrival query works for me as 90% of my guests fly in and rent a vehicle. If the check in doesn’t suit, then they negotiate if I’ve got no other commitments. My check in rules.! Yes some arrive earlier, and some depart later, if it suits both our agendas ....
example only:
“Hello Xxxxx.
Thank you for choosing my Airbnb homestay. I am happy to accept your request for two nights accommodation for (check in from 2pm) Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th July, checking out on Monday morning the 9th July at 10am.
To assist with a smooth check in, will you be arriving in Darwin on 7th July, or will you already be in town? If on the day, are you flying in and renting a vehicle? I only ask this to assist you with a smooth and timely check in so everything is timely for you.

Cathie
(99% of the time they let me know their flight and arrive all time. From that I can estimate luggage and car pick up time. I can also use flight apps to check if a flight is on time.)
