ah... my perfect English again :))) I participate in this forum because I like hanging out with you guys, but also to improve my English. Unfortunatelly, it doesn't go as fast as I would like 😛
yes, it happens a lot, it's Airbnb fault, a big red button for sending requests, right bellow the reservation form and a blue, small, hardly noticeable text link to contact the host. No, wander so many guests send requests when they just want to ask a question.
I was happy when ABB introduced "Family collection" because I used to get a lot of requests from families with kids even though we don't host children. I had to decline them and it impacted my acceptance rate. Now I don't get such requests anymore.
