Breaking House Rules
I just had a bad first experience with guests last week. This week I have another set of guests coming and I am wondering, do many people sneak in extra guests? I also wonder if it is a bad sign when they do not let you know what time they are checking in. I sent a message asking what time they would be checking in 2 days ago and still no reply.

There are two bedrooms in this guest apartment. Airbnb says they need evidence that extra people are staying, so I took pictures of the extra guests last time, but the registered guests lied and said they were just there to help them load the car.

i ve also had guests taking their time replying regarding check in time, follow up with an other message telling them you need to know an approximate arrival time

Thanks! It's good to know that other hosts are experiencing similar behaviors! I'm new to this so your input is valuable to me - thanks.

I guess I am a bit nervous after that last stressful reservation. Obviously not all people are honest and will try to check in late so they can bring in extra people under the cover of night.

I suggest you get a lock for both rooms. So if two people book, you lock the other room. Bingo Bango, bongo, problem solved. Also, I would put that somewhere in the rules. If you book for 2, I will set aside my nicest bedroom for your comfort, the other will be locked. If you would like guests to stay over, simply contact me and I will release the key upon additional guest payment.

Add to your house rules " occupancy strictly enforced, extra guests without prior authorization will create a forfeiture of your reservation."
