We’ll go first…..

While there are many situations to choose from, we’ll keep it fun with the Airbnb guest that couldn’t find the toilet INSIDE the property (there were 4 inside this Airbnb)…

So they decided to make their own bathroom OUTSIDE at the front door.

*We will spare you the details*

Anyways, there’s many many more stories we could share but we want to hear from other Airbnb operators….

What’s the most shocking thing a guest has done at your property? Let us know in the comments 😆

There will always be fire drills that come up when guests are staying at your property. 🙃🔥
Especially on a Friday night when you’re going out to dinner or a movie.

As an Airbnb host, it’s important to have systems in place to either prevent these issues from occurring in the first place or allow you to be proactive in catching the issue so you can get it resolved asap.

And no matter the issue, it’s critical that you’re quick to respond and take action to resolve as soon as possible.

🤝Empathize with the guests and make it right!

✅Do what it takes - it’s your responsibility as the host.

An example of putting ourselves in the best position to resolve guest issues.

📱 Have smart technology in place that’ll help you monitor the temperature inside the property.

Smart thermostats as well as door and window sensors (some guests don’t realize a window was left open and we can point them to it instead of calling an AC company for an after-hours service call to fix a non-issue.

🛠️Also, make sure you have your filters changed regularly and your AC maintained by a professional at least twice a year.

Smart locks are an essential tool to efficiently running your Airbnb from anywhere.

We’ve tried all of the popular smart locks on the market and while they’re sufficient enough to get the job done…..we have yet to find the perfect smart lock!

If the perfect smart lock existed, it would withstand all weather conditions, have a very long lasting battery and hold the door open door for our guests. 🤣

We know that technology isn’t always perfect. That’s why we have systems in place for a malfunctioning smart lock. We wish we could say we didn’t learn that the hard way!

So if you’re managing your own Airbnb or short-term rental property, make sure you always have a spare key available on the property JUST in case. Battery health should always be on your radar too.

If you use smart locks for your Airbnb, which ones have been your favorites?

We had some good takeaways from a recent experience we had with a guest.

Take these opportunities to refine your process and systems.
