New to CC socials?: For anyone new to the socials, it's a monthly online meetup where CC (Community) members come together to connect with each other and have a bit of positivity along the way. It's not specifically Airbnb focused, and anyone new is very welcome.

It’s been so great also to hear your opinions about investors and how they are threatening the Airbnb idea und our private hosts’ effort for a community-friendly way of opening our homes for travelers. And it was very interesting to learn about the registration procedure at your place, @Christine615 !

Thank you all!

I’m not sure if I will be able to join the October meetup, as we will be travelling in California that time (staying in private live-in hosts accommodations of course 🙂 ).

Hi guys, great to see you out and about.

I can't believe how guests are literally lining up to book at the moment, this is crazy stuff.

I have just been paid twice within the space of one day from two guests for the same night by Airbnb.

I had a guest booked to stay here last Friday 23rd September. The day before they were supposed to arrive I got this message........

Note the time of that message!!!

At 2.35pm I received this email from Airbnb.......

I have of course refunded the guest who had to cancel what I would have been paid.

Within 30 minutes of the cancellation I got another booking for that next night, the 23rd September......

And @Till-and-Jutta0  this is the second time this has happened within two weeks ....I am getting punch-drunk with forced cancellations and the next thing re-bookings, guests are literally lining up to book in our area if they come across a listing with open nights in the next week or so......there is no such thing as a night off for me! 

Since 2018 bookings have been really consistent but this year things have gone crazy, I am actually getting enquiries from potential guests saying, "I know you are booked for these dates but if you get a cancellation can you let me know"!!

We are in a crazy game.....but the money it generates is welcome!

Cheers.........Rob
