Untill two weeks ago, I didn't have access to the guest's full name untill after I had accepted the reservation. But I have recently started to get this information as soon as I am contacted. I recently received a nice mail from someone wanting to book. Member since 2012 but no activity, poor photo,no bio and not verified. I began to write my usual response, " Thank-you bla bla, could you complete bla bla and tell me a little about yourself" Before sending it I decided to google the name. WOW he was everywhere, linkedin, twitter,facebook, you tube, tv and an author of several books! Needless to say I changed the mail, I would have looked foolish saying "tell me alittle about yourself, no need to write a novel!"

Hi Elaine, see this thread about this issue: globalhosting.freeforums.net/thread/233/full-name-appears-mobile-appIt's been happening for quite some time now that full names are showing up before bookings are complete. Which is why I suggest hosts edit their profile to remove your full last name from your account, so that it isn't shared with anyone who inquires. I suggest removing your last name and leaving only your last initial. Then you can put your full name in your "house manual" which is shared only with those who book. |

Thank-you Deborah, I have just put an initial although it still says, "This is only shared once you have a confirmed booking with another Airbnb user."
