Hello all,
I just got this email below, from Airbnb Dream Team for one of my listings:
We're reaching out to you from Airbnb HQ here in SF. We hope this message finds you well!
We are piloting a program where we work with outstanding members of the San Francisco Airbnb host community to provide incredible end-to-end travel experiences for select guests. As part of their trip, we like to pre-book some of the city's most iconic listings. If you're available, we'd love for one of them to be you!
As part of this pilot, we do ask hosts to go above and beyond in providing first class hospitality to our guests.
This includes :
•Personalized check-in
•Lightly stocked listing (including breakfast items)
•Personal neighborhood recommendations
As this is still a private beta project, many guests are friends and family of fellow Airbnb employees. All guests have Airbnb profiles with verified accounts and will be matched with hosts.
We are in the process of confirming travelers now. Once we do this, we will match you with a guest and send you their profile for approval.
If you're interested, we'd love to book your listing. We're also happy to answer any questions you have over the phone or via email. Thanks for all you do as an Airbnb host!
Cheers,
Trips Team/Dream Team

I haven't responded to this inquiry, as I have a few issues, especially with below requirement:
This includes :
•Personalized check-in
•Lightly stocked listing (including breakfast items)
•Personal neighborhood recommendations
See, I thought Airbnb platform gives flexibility to hosts with our hosting style. I use keyless entry code and because of my busy lives, I don't always check in guests physically, although I am very reachable and very responsive. And I also do not supply breakfast.
Now, I'm not quite sure what to do, as if I decline to be a part of this, will I get dinged on my listing? If I go ahead and participate, am I putting myself in a position to get bad reviews because I don't do those 3 things required?
What would you do?

Not so much for anything other than not wanting to be punished. I didn't want to decline the inquiry and suffer the consequence, which I realized probably not a good way to go now. The 'match' got one good review, and I'm just hoping it works out fine. I don't think I'd do anything different since the whole point for using the keyless entry was for both my and the guests' convenience (lots of my guests arrive late at night). And I do provide coffee, tea, etc., just no milk. So I'll keep it that way.
