Eating on beds

[Julie4249]

I am new to hosting.  We have hosted 5 separate guests.    2 out of the 5 have ate all over the beds, this last one, their child peed and they remade the bed to cover it up.  I have currently washed the comforter 2 times and dried it and there are still stains on it from the greasy food they ate and wiped ALL over it.  I have 4 beds I have to wash because of this.  (Obviously it is washed everytime, but I hope you follow!)  This is time consuming and hard on the bedding and my washer.  We have a studio so two beds are right next to the table!  Is it unreasonable to put not to eat on the beds?  If I have to replace the comforters, is that a claim I can send to Air bnb for them to get from the guest?

Perhaps they had complaints from guests who couldn’t decide which eruption should take priority.

That was one of the wonderful benefits of the old two-holer outhouses that used to be common at schoolhouses, churches and other public places.

@Laura2592   Yes, and I'd feel much the same if I were trying to enjoy a family dinner while looking at beds in the same room, and worse yet to try to sleep in a bedroom impregnated with the smells of the evening meal. (I love waking up to the aromas of bacon and coffee - but at the end of the night, they're the worst).

@Anonymous  that is my primary complaint about open floorplan layouts-- cooking smells. Its bad enough in a living area but I don't want last night's Mexican feast whiffed among my bedding the next day. Just icky.

We do not allow eating in the beds and it's in the pre-booking rules.  I would do my best to clean the sheets, but drying can set stains so be careful.  If the sheets are a lost cause, file a claim and hope for the best.
