'Too many hosts treat PAYING guests as if they are doing them a favor by renting them accommodation. These are not friends crashing in your guest room. Like it or not, you are in the hospitality business, be hospitable.'
"We Will Have No One To Blame But Ourselves" — This Vacation Rental Host Is Calling Out Their Greedy Peers For Ruining The Business
"Our competition is hotels. So, yeah, if a guest treats your property as they would a hotel, that is wholly appropriate. If they are egregiously filthy or damaging, fine, issue a complaint or request for renumeration. I see too many hosts on here who expect their properties to be treated with absolute kid gloves. Charging to replace stained towels? Are you kidding? Bleach them and keep extras. It's part of the cost of doing business," Link continued..
"I agree. I got into this expecting to have to clean up messes, do a lot of laundry, and replace things at a much faster rate than I’d like," usersaid. "It’s the cost of doing business and I built those expenses into my business plan. I’ve learned all kinds of cleaning hacks and handyman tricks and generally enjoyed being a host. I’ve had a few bad guests but consider it par for the course.
"I feel this way especially whenever a host is extremely bothered that a guest didn't write them a review. Getting an unfair bad review is always annoying but now we are mad if a guest just has other things to do and doesn't want to post yet another review? Choosing our place over MANY others, paying lots of money, and not breaking things should be more than enough.""I'm a host who doesn't charge extra fees.
