The picture of guests

[Anne536]

I disagree with the fact that airbnb hides the pictures of the guests before confirming the reservation.

I rent my private apartment and I want to know how future guests look like.

Airbnb is going too far.

I am very disppointed by airbnb

Why does this matter @Ann0?

you can set your listing so you see them after they book then if your aren’t comfortable or they book your house rules you can cancel.

When you cancel you aren't superhost anymore and you loose cancellation fee

@Anne536, you will know what future guests look like after the reservation is confirmed.

So, I'm as irritated about this as everyone else.  I learned that the profile photo is hidden using site cookies.  So, actually the person's profile photo is visible to everyone EXCEPT the host receiving the request/inquiry. 

If using Chrome, just right click on the person's name and select "Open link in incognito window".  Then you will be able to see their profile photo, if they have one.
