Airbnb hosts: accept zero review guests? 🤔😳😱🤦♂️
Summary
AI-generatedThis video discusses the challenges hosts face with Airbnb's policy of removing photo IDs, which can lead to accepting guests with zero reviews who may cause issues. It offers strategies for vetting these guests and documenting problems to protect yourself from negative reviews.
Key insights
Hosts are disincentivized to accept guests with zero reviews if Airbnb penalizes them for cancellations made after accepting a reservation based on a later review of the guest's profile.
Mistakes to avoid
Relying solely on phone calls or texts for communication with a problematic guest, rather than documenting in the Airbnb platform, can make it difficult to prove your case to Airbnb support.
