I've been hosting AirBnB now for the better part of a year and have generally not had any issues. I recently had a guest book a single private bedroom in my 2 bedroom apartment.
I wasn't home for the duration of the stay, but after returning home 2 days after their checkout, noticed the following:
1) Based on security camera footage, the guest did not look anything like their "selfie" photo on their profile. It is clearly not the same person.
2) The booking was made for 2 guests (as that is the max for the listing) and brought in 2 extra people...at 3am no less. Again, evidenced by the camera.
3) I have a shared space in a large living room, partitioned off the from the rest, that is its own Shared listing. Nobody was staying here during this guest's time, but it was prepared for another guest's arrival today. I ended up getting home before Guest 2 checked in, and noticed that the bed was clearly slept on, indicated by pillows thrown on the ground and loose change left under the covers. I was luckily able to remake the bed because Guest 2 happened to be checking in late.
4) Missing towel. It has a unique design and doubtful that it was mistaken for the guest's own.
5) 4 hours late checkout, evidenced by the camera.
I've been fortunate to not have to handle any issues like these before, and I feel like any one issue on their own is pretty forgivable, but how would you all recommend I proceed?
I feel inclined to ask for more money for the add'l guests, or even the use of a space not part of their listing, but that is the max for the listing and as such there is no add'l guest fee.
