Hello Kath in Albanry Australia, I am a super host here in Tasmania and my policy stipulates, NO pets, however this chap wanted to book my place with his wife and small child and couldn't not find a kennel to board their pooch! So softy me allowed them to bring the little dog, on the proviso that it was to (sleep in his van, his words) although allowed on the verandahs, but defineltly not in the cottage, to which he agreed and to pay a fee. I don't live at the property. Check out is 10am however I did not have anyone coming in until the next day. I arrived at my cottage at 11.15 and the guests were still there, knocked on the door, lady answered, introduced myself and there was another lady there also, I asked first lady where her husband was, she said out on back verandah with the DOG, all of a sudden the door opened and in ran 2 dogs! I must have looked very stunned!! as I found myself ordering the dogs to get outside! I did not front the guests, because then I saw 2 CHILDREN on the lounge! This family has now grown in 2 days from a booking of 2 adults+ child + 1 dog ----- to 3 adults + 2 children + 2 dogs. To add insult to injury, they apparently left me a really positive review! This was conveyed to me by the Airbnb operater whilst I was asking if there was anything they could do about this situation. Now I have to front them and ask for extra $$. Any advise would be very much appreciated. Has this happened to any other hosts? Happy New Year all. Cheers Coral
