Lessons learned from a challenging airbnb hosting experience

[Todd647]

Hosting on Airbnb was a nightmare. Had younger guest rent our house for 6 people (our max) and had a ranging party for 31 people (Ring camera verified) until 3:00 am disturbing my neighbors. Lot's of alcohol and drugs. Trashed my house - and Airbnb DID NOTHING!! Air cover is a joke. All of you will get to experience this eventually. He is still on Airbnb with no consequences - and he knew it because he told me Airbnb won't do anything to him. He's still out there ready to book his next party at your place - good luck.

On Bookings.com I get ALL of the guests credit card info the day they book. I have complete control and I am allowed to set a minimum age to book - on Airbnb an 18 year old is allowed to book bet you didn't know that!

Report to Airbnb, and leave an honest review. Then we can decline this guest when he sends the reservation request.
