@Joe60 Absolutely call Aibrnb immediately! This is so unacceptable on so many levels. This guests will be contacted by Airbnb, I can promise you that! I was extorted once back in 2015, and the guests was stupid enough to put into writing....Airbnb took care of this guest and didn't allow them to leave THAT review. (even though I deserved a 5 Star review). This is the same guests who complained about the cost of airport plane food, so at check out (11:00am.), I prepared a surprise To-Go lunch for both people in this booking AT NO CHARGE! They were spoiled rotten, but during their stay, they damaged some property, which they knew they did, as it was done in front of me and my husband, videos were made, photos were taken , and claim for $54 was sent at check out. They threatened to leave a "false" bad review if I continued with my claim. I not only got $54 back from their security deposit within 24 hours from Airbnb, they were removed from being able to book with any other host again. Shame shame on them. And shame on your guests. Make sure to screen capture what they wrote asap. Airbnb will ask you to send that to them.
and CONGRATS on your hundreds of positive reviews..... @Joe60 that's awesome!
IN CASE YOU DON"T HAVE THE PHONE NUMBER FOR AIRBNB - call 415-799-4377. Amazing phone support Staff!!!
@Maria-Lurdes0 is 100% right too. thanks for posting your reply. 🙂
@Lilian20 I would like to caution you on giving someone that advice. When travelers violate the terms and conditions of Airbnb, it needs to be reported. End of story.
p.s. By the way, Airbnb followed up with me to make sure I was ok, asked me if the amount was truly $54, as they thought I should get more, (I appreciated that but declined), and they reminded me that while these guests were new to Airbnb, they would not be the type of guests coming to our home as they were the exception. They were right.....we have had such so many AMAZING guests since then! I was recommended to raise my rates, which I did. I can totally understand why I was recommended to do that by Airbnb.
If you feel that me or another host have helped you, feel free to click on the "thumbs up" button at the end of any post. Thank you so much.
