I am getting more and more annoyed by guests who don't respect my check-in and check-out hours - and what I thought were basic manners. Since I have self check-in available, people just show up in my house hours before my check-in time, make themselves at home, without even letting me know that they come early or that they are here. Today, I went downstairs to see people I don't know - and wasn't expecting at this time - lying on the bed. They didn't even bother saying hi or getting up when I introduced myself.
1) Do I have wrong expectations of what self check in is ? To me, it means that guests have the possibility to check-in when I am not there. It doesn't mean that they can come in early without introducing themselves while I live in the same house.
2) When does Airbnb send the check-in instructions to guests ?
I'd love to hear what about your experiences with self check in in your main personal residence. To me, it feels more and more awkward to have people in my basement while I'm there too and I don't even know their names or what they look like... Especially when there's a group of people, the person making the reservation may have reviews but I don't know anyhting about the other persons.
Thank you in advance for your inputs
