Amazing. Congratulations to AirBnB for making this clear commitment:

We’re asking all hosts to confirm their commitment to welcoming guests of all backgrounds.
I agree to treat everyone in the Airbnb community—regardless of their race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, s*x, gender identity, s*xual orientation, or age—with respect, and without judgement or bias.

ACCEPT or DECLINE

About the Community Commitment
Why did Airbnb create this commitment?
This commitment is an important step towards creating a global community where everyone can truly belong. Discrimination prevents hosts, guests, and their families from feeling included and welcomed, and we have no tolerance for it. Building an Airbnb where everyone can belong hinges on knowing that everyone in our community understands this mission and agrees to help us achieve it.
What if I decline the commitment?
If you decline the commitment, you won’t be able to host or book using Airbnb, and you have the option to cancel your account. Once your account is cancelled, future booked trips will be cancelled. You will still be able to browse Airbnb but you won’t be able to book any reservations or host any guests.
As a host, what if I have safety concerns about accepting reservations from anyone?
If you will share your living spaces with a guest, you may make a unit available only to guests of your own gender.
Under this policy, you may also turn down a guest for other reasons, just not on the basis of race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, s*xual orientation, or age.
In general, when considering a booking request, reflect on your reasoning to ensure that bias isn’t a factor.
What if laws in my area restrict me from hosting certain guests?
Please post about the restriction on your listing, but be clear that it is a legal requirement in your area and that you are complying with local law.
Can I decline guests with disabilities if I don’t think my home is suitable for them?
In many cases, Airbnb hosts are not required to make their homes compliant with the standards set out in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) . However, you can’t decline a guest based on any actual or perceived disability. You should do your best to provide accurate information about your home’s accessibility features (or lack of them), allowing for guests with disabilities to decide for themselves whether the home is appropriate to their individual needs.
How can I share feedback about the commitment or get more information?
We welcome your feedback at [email protected]. You can also review our host resources, which cover frequently asked questions by hosts about Airbnb’s Nondiscrimination Policy.

This is what the mosquito sucking frogs look like at night :).. in comparison: a normal light trap that we use in the kitchen. It doesn't work as well as the frogs and it is not as pretty or funny ;)

We have bought some frogs for the house...

Honestly, this product is a great idea. Ok. It is not a real frog but this plastic frog really works. It attracts mosquitoes and then sucks them into its belly with a fan. The frog captured 8 mosquitoes in 6 days during my stay and I had no problems with mosquitoes at all!

Amazing!!!

Leave them on all the time during your stay but continue to follow just normal good practice of course. Close windows in the evening. Switch lights off inside, etc. However, I didn't need the ceiling fan or any insect repellent during my stay at all - thanks to the new frogs :)

We have a new router in the house now. There is very good wifi reception now. You can work or browse the Internet from anywhere in the house but this is my favorite place with a nice view!

AirBnB charges the guest 10% and the host another 3.5%. They collect 100% payment upfront when the guests book and they only pay the host after the guests have left. So, they might be working with the guests money for several months.
Booking.com only charges 5% to the host in areas. (Please correct me if I am wrong). So, I think AirBnB should only charge 5%. They should use the credit card for security only when booking and the full amount should be charged only just before the trip.
Do you think AirBnB practices and fees are fair? If not - please share this and send them a letter of complaint. They will listen to guests.
