Cassid to avoid this again always get your guest to give you an estimated time of arrival and confirm in a 24 hr clock manner.Ive had Chinese guests who do not speak or read English and if I don’t get an ETA I get cs to ring guests in their own language to confirm.Then I ask cs for a message on eztranet
no I’m not a Sargent Major just had too many bad reviews from guests turning up when they feel like it.
I’m thinking if you refund you will pay, but what if it had been a neighbour banging for help.....you would rush to get an ambulance it’s happened twice in this year to me, not my fault but woke everyone up.
Larry re the remark I made re children....they are not cost effective and babies and children are humans,with sticky fingers and huge responsibility for the host...at one stage ABB had a kids come free policy which enraged all hosts as a couple for example, a couple say with 2 kids each under 12 ( modern families) is 6 humans for the price of one room.
My home has no stairs but one bedroom leads off the kitchen /dining room where all kinds of danger lurkes in the form of gas hobs electric appliances , knives etc etc don’t bear thinking about.
Larry I agree with Graham how can you afford the laundry for five beds in one room at £59 even bunk beds.....the gas electricity and water cost would be massive even if you do it yourself and that is before detergents manpower, and all the other expenses....that’s only£11.8 per person...I’m struggling to see how you make any profit.....true we all seem to enjoy hosting but with everything going up these days that amazing.
Especially contractors who by the nature of their work must use a lot of hot water etc...after s shift.
Hannah I had a guest who did not stay or pay and still was able to write a review....he was a scammer who planned it....I understood his language .....I always take photos of room now before a guest enters.

Hi Larrywilliamstomatoe
on ABb itclearly asks if the place is suitable for children and I think on BDCom too in all my years hosting no one has ever offered to bring any
Like you I also hate lists of rules that no one reads so it’s clear as a bell when they book.
If u give me your email I will send a screen shot mine is
