Don't party in my Airbnbs
Summary
AI-generatedIn this video, the host shares a story about a group of eight party-goers who caused a disturbance at his Airbnb, resulting in neighbor complaints. To handle the situation and get his "revenge," he offered the guests recommendations for alternative party venues outside his property, and then requested a five-star review from them in exchange for not leaving a negative review. After receiving their positive review, he left them a one-star review, preventing them from instant booking on Airbnb in the future.
Key insights
A host asked guests for a 5-star review, then gave them a 1-star review. This is shady, unethical and not recommended, but that's what this host did.
Mistakes to avoid
Relying on a verbal agreement with guests to leave a 5-star review is unreliable because they could leave a good review and then you have to follow through on your end, even if they have broken the rules.
