So, we just got a booking for a single Saturday night.
We only do a maximum of 10 adults and two children for a total of 12 on the property. Guy books 10 adults and 1 child. It's that one lone child among 10 adults that has my gut feelings thinking this is a party. Here's the message exchange.
He's probably trying to figure out where to hold his "reunion" now that we shut him down, since from the conversation below I believe I'm pretty sure it's a party he was planning. Looked the guy up and he is in his mid to late 20's. What are your thoughts? Think I'm correct or wrong.
Guest: My cousins reunion after 7 years!!!
Us: Will you be needing a high chair or booster seat ? Where is the reunion being held so that I can leave you precise directions to the guest house, we’ve had issues with guests finding us at night.
Thank you , Letti
Guest: Sure a high chair would be appreciated. We are meeting near the river walk. Do you live near the property? Where do we find the keys?
Us: We will have a high chair available. There are three houses on the six acres and yes we live in one.
River walk is about 25 to 30 minutes away.
We have a keyless entry which we change the code and supply to you two days before your arrival .
Thank you, Letti
Guest: Thank you.

@Letti0 It is definitely for a party.That is what reunions are, in my experience.
I think in the future, you might want to charge a security deposit, which you can do through the Airbnb app. Also, you might consider writing up a contract, stating that you have a contract in your listing and then sending a copy of the contract to guests prior to arrival. Let them know that they will have to sign the contract upon arrival. I think this will help eliminate the fun party types. Oh, Airbnb does alloow contracts, if you state that you have one in your listing.
@Kelly149 Exactly! I know what I'm getting with the 11 or 12, but I don't want their other 20+ family members or friends on my property also without permission for a "reunion" or BBQ or whatever. I charge to have parties and they are not in the Guest House, but at the event center on the property fully supervised by staff and with a licensed TABC bartender serving the liquor.
