@Cynthia-and-Chris1 @Derek6 You are right Derek, there is no way on Gods earth I would keep popping in 'next door' or down the street to intrude or make a nuisance of myself. And many guests do not want any interaction...they have come here to attend a wedding function, a reunion, or similar and the last thing they need is another round of socials! I show them the ropes and leave them to it, great!
But, Airbnb is a 'hosting' site and in many instances people who use ABB want to be hosted....otherwise they would just book into a hotel. Over three sites I have a similar number or reviews as you do Derek and the only 4 star review I ever got was my fault, I did not attend to a detail that I should have. Every other has been 5 star...and like you I am a Superhost.
What I do is not for everyone...in fact for most it is probably impossible but, I have learned from my initial few months in hosting that most who come to my area are from far away, in many instances overseas, they are travelling and want to interact with the local style as much as possible!
A drop box with a keycode is fine....but that's not my style!
And your point @Cynthia-and-Chris1 is really important. Although our cottage is self contained many hosts list a room in their house and have to go out of their way TO interact with their guests....It just becomes very uncomfortable for all concerned if you try to avoid them.
Different strokes for diffrent folks I say....cheers.....Rob
