I find many of my guests seem to not respect boundaries or are clueless. But perhaps I am too uptight? A guest checking in today called yesterday to say he was in town already but wanted me to show around the house and will come soon. Not even a question of if someone is staying at the house, if I am available, etc. Another guest 2 days ago after not being allowed early check in still walked on the property and even tried to open the door. He is lucky I do not have a gun! What if I took him for intruder? These are just recent examples but variations of this theme are common. Many guests call as early as 7:30 am with benign questions. Have you noticed a similar pattern?
@Yulianna0 that's crazy! It says right in the title of your listing that it is late arrivals only
Perhaps in addition to Govt. verifications, a profile photo of their face and some good reviews, guests should have to pass a basic literacy test.

In what language? I would fail a literacy test in almost every language out there!
@Susan151 Since they can translate the listing info to their own language, how about a basic literacy test in their own native tongue?
I really wish Airbnb would help educate the guests a bit more about respecting the host as a person who has a life outside of his airbnb rental, and about check in courtesy.
