@Max3058 Yes. As the host, it is your responsibility to ensure that your guests are aware of your house rules prior to arrival. Guests DON'T READ beyond making their reservation.
Thank you @lorna170. I just started doing this noticing the same thing. I guess we have been lucky up to this point and haven't had any guest issues. But recently, it became clear that we needed to make sure guests were looking at them. We recently had a group of young guys stay at our place and we sent them the house rules and asked them to acknowledge before sending check-in instructions. They dinged us for it in their review. I think we may have too many rules. Would you be willing to share yours with me or maybe I could send mine to you for your two cents? @Lorna170
Yes @Max3058 , as soon as a booking is confirmed we send the House Rules together with the Short Term lease agreement which is mandatory if you do STR in Italy.
