Like nearly all of us I like to attend to the finer details when preparing a listing!
I was maybe a bit rushed today having had less than two hours to prepare for the next guest.
I was in the process of showing Cheryl and Tim through the cottage when Cheryl suddenly said to me....
"Is the bowl of fruit trying to tell me something?".....
We all had a good laugh but, how could I have overlooked something like that. I have come to learn recently that some guests could see that as being personally offensive, and I kicked myself for not taking a bit more notice!
While on funny things a host told me a couple of days ago....and, maybe it's an old chestnut, but I hadn't heard it before.
A guest turned up with 7 when the booking was for 4! The host said that Airbnb rules state the number of guests staying have to be declared at the time of booking. The extra guests have to be included in the booking and there would be an additional payment required to accommodate the 3 extra guests!
The main guest said...."Oh no, those three are not guests....they are baggage handlers, they don't have to pay"!
Cheers.....Rob
