Airbnb not notifying Hosts of Business travellers and travel agents are allowed to book now?

Where does Airbnb notify on the Reservation the guest is a travel agent and the guests are their listed approved travellers?

 

I feel cheated because we ahve an entirely different way to rent to 3rd party agents, businesses, business travellers, corporations etc. 

 

what can be done to get my rate back from Airbnb. 

 

The reservation has 4 guests listed, 2 of which never checked in  1 of which is named Guest. 

 

My security guard is hounding me to get an ID for the guest.   Is it not the responsibility of Airbnb to put all ID info on the printed reservation (which is all I have to give to my security guard)

 

Also why does Airbnb feel their hosts dont deserve to know business accounts are renting their properties? It should come up on the dashboard.

Hi @Alex14019 

 

You don't need to accept bookings through third parties such as travel agents so if you know a booking is coming through them you can ask Airbnb to cancel the booking as it's a third party booking . 

if you need to provide guest ID for your security people you would need to obtain this from your guests in advance of their stay.
