Airbnb settings you need to turn OFF. Like, right now.

great video. How can I get more traffic on my airbnb listing.?

P.s. I will also message you regarding us Hosts and renting, but since it is Not on your site, May I do that? You both are as Honest a couple as I have ever seen. I'm good at reading people. To all hosts on this channel, Lisen to these intelligent young Pros that have got this down. Bravo to You Both, and Thank you Kindly !!

Ok, You two Are Excellent. I have been renting as a superhost for 12 years and agree with every tip you have just given. I watched you before, and I believe you. I have done a nice little clip for Airbnb a while Back. As you know, we all have our homes in different places, so I do add the extra guest fee. I find what a difference 1 extra guest makes. In showers, laundry towels, and wear and tear. So, if I bake at the price, I am a bit out of the competition. I live in an area with a very high utility cost. And thank you a million for Addressing the Occupancy to tax. Airbnb only collects it in our unincorporated towns. So I have to. I had such a difficult time for Years. Finally, Airbnb Backs me up, and it's 90 percent seamless. Always a few complaints, but they are part of the business. We have to pay our total monthly tax to the town, so I do, and it's All /good.

Airbnb is scammers.

So as a host I disagree with a few of these points and add some more. Note i am a live in host and this lay differ if you are a host of a listing but dont live on site with the guests:
- this video suggested do not include a cleaning fee and roll that into the daily rate. This is a bad idea- if you have a short stay then you get a smaller cleaning fee- yet the same amount of cleaning or very similar is needed. This is why there should be a set cleaning fee for each booking. Make the cleaning fee a seperately listed fee. Why? Because doing so keeps your nightly rate lower and more attractive when guests are searching for a stay. Incorporating the cleaning into nightly rates make your place more expensive and the guests wont know that you have incorporated the cleaning- they just wont click further. Most guests are happy to accept some kind of cleaning fee. I would almost suggest go the other way. Reduce the daily night rate and slightly increase your cleaning fee as mentally the guest sees it as a different charge and many dont do the maths of the additional fees
- additional guests- i have a room i put on airbnb- i charge for any more than 1 person of 15/ night- again you dont have to- but there are added electricity and usage costs additional towel and use of hot water. And there is a second person now walking in the house that all adds up- so i think again add a small additional fee for per person if you rent a room. But if you remt a house or entire apt do as this video suggests.

Noise monitors are so wrong… the device is analyzing the private spaces of guests. One star every time your privacy is invaded. It’s the only way to stop this. It is an AI analysis of your environment. Major problems here.

New to this, where do I find the extra fees to turn them off?

do you pay the host fee on airbnb or do you pass it on to the guest?

Would be helpful to mention where to find the settings, especially for newbies. Otherwise, good info. Thanks!

No

You guys mentioned a driveway camera -- do you have a favorite!? Thanks.

Hiii do you guys have a social media page of any sort that we could follow for some on the go inspo?

Wow YOU two are excellent Ive been a Host for many year A Super host but I just heard quite a few tricks or things I did not KNOW!!!!!
Thank you Ill Keep watching for sure Im going to go back to the rolling booking and listen to that one again !!!

Thanks for making this video. I'm curious if you may have an answer to this question. I've struggled to find a way to share guest access to my google nest products (external cameras and thermostat). I've looked far and wide and cant seem to find instructions anywhere, assuming they exist. I don't want to have to switch brands just to find one that allows limited guest access. Please advice if you have or know of a way.

Great video. Very helpful.

Question for anyone: Do you feel it's justifiable for airbnb to charge me $50 for a cancellation that they made because I was not able to respond to a person who couldn't find my place in the dark because I was out of cell phone reception? This has never happened before. Every person has been able to find my place so far even in the dark. They are given a pin location on where it is and all they have to do is follow it on their phone. I have a solar light that points to a guest parking sign 20 feet away from the road. IT was a full moon out, I have solar lights around my camper. And I was in the mountains where I did not have cell phone reception. I am a superhost And have excellent reviews and normally get back to guests as soon as possible. Let me know what you think. Thank you

generally choose places to stay where pets are not charged extra~ places that have no pet fees. my hosts consider me a great guest (over 10 years now) and my dog has good reviews as well🐾
like the places that are truly dog friendly - charging extra fees for my dog doesn’t feel pet friendly. I’ve done it once but it doesn’t feel pet friendly. I totally get that some dogs are unruly and create extra clean up. If a pet fee makes the property available for your dog then so be it.

Sound is trippy. Coming from opposing sides.

Airbnb is a garbage website. never again

FYI the disclosure of active recording camera is some places will have the device up as a security deterrent but not active cuz it cost to run it. I live on an island in the Caribbean and some ppl choose to risk being stolen from vs paying for internet to run it. So if the camera is there a thief is less likely to steal.

Whats best on the Sharing Setting? Like sharing all the details with other hosts. could this be bad somehow? brand new at this

Scammers scamming scammers.

Why do you want to know why guests are comkng to your area? That would make me stay away as I would consider it " none of your business"

I can’t found my apartment in Airbnb heeelp :(

It was a security issues plus cancellations, refunds:

I rented with a good host on Waterside Coquina Luxury Resort on St. Petersburg. I rented for 31 days and did not know that firefighters had a permission to make repairs on the building where I was renting. I asked the host the refund for the last two weeks since more or less that was the time it would take the repairs. That was a pain because I needed the refund to move to another place.

In the meantime, since I arrived at Waterside it was clear a lot of people there were racist and did not want me there. Stuff started to appear in the deck of the apartment as well at the entrance. A can appeared out of the blue in the deck of the apartment. I asked the host but his reply was a negative, he did not know. A few days later a dirty white lace was left in the little tree next to the entrance of the building like making a mark of something. A sour experience where I felt intimidated, ashamed for no reason, paying a place to be mistreated by xenophobic residents.

I spoke with one Customer Care Ambassador, Ricardo, he told me I could get in contact with Air BnB security department so they can move me to a secured house. The day after that conversation, between tears, I called the Air BnB Customer Care to help me with the moving to a security house. None of them helped me. Ricardo never answered my messages that other people sent him. No one helped me when my life and my animals' life were in danger. Even though I explained for more than three days in a row what was happening no one helped. I could have died there and Air BnB did not helped me. Completely irresponsible. Literally, walking my dog some people just changed sidewalks just to not encounter me. A man in the building next to the one I use to live hated me and used his ways to let me know. I have more than seven occasions that reflected racism and xenophobia in a place that exactly that is their history.

Neither I had my refund to move on for whatever bank policies on my end nor I did not have a security house offered by one ambassador from Air BnB.

The very same weekend I had to leave, when I spoke with Daniel and Ricardo under one of my crises, I reserved on Tampa and that is why I did not accept the offer made by Ricardo. That very same day and late someone, a mysterious employee, cancelled my reservation leaving me with the psychopaths in Waterside and missing just one day for my deadline to move because the firefighters will be starting to work on June 5th, 2023 in the building I was located.

Moreover, someone cancelled my reservation in Tampa and blocked my account because I did a last-minute reservation leaving me no options to reserve and get out of that hellhole of place filled with hate, sourness, bad will and intimidation. Since then, I cannot use my account because it has a waiting period of ten days.

I just tried to reserve a place again and it is not working. The person that helped with the inquiry, Raul, told me it is because of the previous situation, and I may try tomorrow.

I have been the affected in all of these situations and it is me Air BnB has punished, affected me, cornered me.

And, we pay for this? Really?

What camera do you use at the outdoor entrance ?

i have a horror story of having an arbitrage host move in, destroy my place, not pay rent and having to evict her through the court. she took an ax to my piano and threatened my family. she was doing drugs and was absolutely out of control. also, her dog wanted to kill my cats

Spying on your guests with cctv is illegal!!!

“…see it on the camera…”??? Another reason to avoid staying with AirBnB.

stop saying bake in

Is there a way to reach out to you guys off YT?

Great video , there are a few things here I didn't think of

You are great! I really appreciate these videos.

so booooooooring

Great advice

I wouldn't want to stay at your properties. You sound like nazis. Spying on your guests and being overly controlling

I stay at a lot of Airbnb and the the Melbourne they did not clean them and in Maryland they did not clean them. I finding they are charge ing cleaning fees and they are dirty. I have to come in and clean the bathroom and wash the sheets. My husband co-worker are staying in Hyatteville Maryland in a townhouse that has rats but they have not reported it. I don’t know if the Airbnb are have any one that check these thing out. When we stayed in Melbourne Fl in February 10 for a week the place smelled and it was dirty. When we contacted the owner and told him about it he gave us a bad review. We let the owner know the things that was need attention. What we should have done was tell Airbnb

You should definitely allow a lot more than 28 night bookings, the price just needs to be baked into your rule set discount. That is for sure. Also one reason you might want to add a fee for more guests is that's just a less premium guest on average who has more people. You want to incentivise more premium guests to stay, it's much lower risk. The person who books a 2 bedroom unit with 2 people is much less likely to be a problem vs the person who books a 2 bedroom unit with 6 people, and 2 are on the couch bed. Or possibly even more with an air mattress if you allow it.

I have a hard time finding a host that will accommodate my fragrance allergies. Oftentimes they just deny my request without having any kind of interview back and forth. What can I do to find the places that will accommodate me?

Oops, posted this before you got to this topic!

What is the rule for Security Cameras?

Ok, so I I have watched a lot of these. This one is the most valuable and so utilitarian.
