Advice
Hi all.. I just join Airbnb 2 weeks ago. And today aomeone booked without real photo. What do you think? I accepted already but sent message but not reply. Bit scary because I don't know his/her face.
Thanks for share if you have this experienced

I have had a couple of guest whose photo was either blurry for privacy or something that just did not really show a face. They turned out to be nice people. Sometimes people try to protect their privacy by doing this.
I have turned on the option to accept verified people only. If you don't use instant book that's less of a problem as you can ensure this before accepting the request.

I ask people for what I need. I often ssk for more verifications and they have been great about doing it. I feel asking for a picture is a reasonable request.

I like what I saw on a super host listing; "be prepared to show photo ID upon check in".
It goes to safety and any one who objects to verifying their identity needs to go to the no-tell motel. Be safe!

If they don't answer at all to several messages, contact customer service. Number on the booking confirmation, available via the website, not the app. Is there an image? What does it show?

Ask questions about them then. Flowers are harmless but need great care, dogs and cats are ok, landscapes are harmless and mostly boring, race cars and bikes are mostly complexed young men, totally harmless, but I never had a number.

Guess what? Hotel dot co does not care what the guests look like and neither do I. I have had famous people stay here and they did not use a photo. Lots of people do not want to use a photo. They do want a room, and I personally don't care what they look like anymore. I used to. It used to make me nervous, but really what does it change? If you see the face on the photo and then that person shits your bed? LOL I am so back for a limited time ONLY.
