Hi Lizzie.
I feel you haven't fully answered my questions.
1. See below, I was advised by Air BNB Customer Service Team of the points I raised below :- is the information I received true? If not why did the Customer Service Team advise me so? OR they need more training?
I was advised by Air BNB Customer Service Team, that I must phone them up, and advise them each time I have an issue in my life when I cannot host for some days etc, and the reasons why I have to block out dates on my calendar. And I must be able to verify/prove my case/issue with a medical certificate etc. and this will protect my Super Host Status?
So let me get this straight. I have to phone up Air BNB each time:-
When I have family coming to stay? ( you cannot deny family visits)
When I have an emergency in my life? (last thing on your mind to do)?
When I go away on a holiday, and at the same time I am using Air BNB for my accommodation.?
When I'm sick?
When I have to go to hospital etc etc?
Question 2.
Lizzie you say:-To achieve Superhost status, there are several requirements, the main ones being: 4.8+ rating, 10+ stays, 90% response rate and 0 cancellation for less than 100 reservations per year.
So to retain super Host Status.
example:- I have every day available for booking open on my calendar for the whole year 365 days. Say I only receive 5 confirmed bookings thought out that period ( not 10), will I lose Super Host status for not achieving the allotted number of bookings.
Air BNB has to realise that in such a popular tourist destination as mine, we have many many Air BNB listings for guests to choose accommodation from,. You cannot make people book your listing, they choose where they want to go.
Lizzie, I'm a stickler for details, but I need to have the correct procedural information regarding hosting for air BNB. If in the future I need to contact Air BNB over an issue, and being equipped with correct information and procedures, then I will be able to plead my case with confidence.
