Hosts can use their tools to set parameters for potential instant book guests.
So, if you only want fully verified Gov ID guests who have received good ratings from their previous stays, then you can select those options.
As for public ratings on guests, that's never going to fly. There are too many reasons why this won't be helpful in the long run. The published review system is as effective when used in conjunction with due diligence by hosts prior to accepting all bookings.
Hosts who are looking for more surety with guests can gain a lot from reading the Airbnb FAQS, and systematically exploring the potential within hosting tools. They are a lot more flexible than many realise.
Manage your bookings before the guest completes their reservation . Never be afraid to have a pre-booking conversation, ask your own questions too and assess the response. Reply with information and guidance so that your guets choose accomodation that suits. It may not be yours. If thats the case help them to realise before they book.
Repeat information from your site. Use cut and paste.
Advise guests if you don't think your place will suit them or yourself. Be prepared to educate your guests and exercise lots of diplomacy.
Safety 1st: $2nd
