Around the world, the Airbnb marketplace provides opportunities for property owners to bring in extra, semi-passive income. These folks can earn thousands of dollars per month simply by renting out their spare rooms or other livable properties; however, hosts also need to implement certain measures to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Part of this work involves setting up ground rules for guests who are staying over. These guidelines typically center around how travelers should conduct themselves while on the property. As guests search various Airbnb accommodations, they get to view each set of rules under the “house manual” and “house rules” sections.
Hosts who want to be extra vigilant can even turn off the instant booking feature for their property. Without instant booking, guests first request to stay at a property for a given period of time; from here, the host has up to 24 hours to approve or deny the request before it automatically expires.
With that in mind, some Airbnb hosts are providing insight into what makes them turn down certain bookings from guests.
