We often get asked whether you need to screen your Airbnb guests? The honest answer is - it depends 💰
As I look to summarize our 2024 FAQs, one of my favourite questions that come up when we talk about guest screening in hospitality is “Do I really need to screen Airbnb guests?” My best answer is this: If you have ABSOLUTELY ZERO problems, issues, noise, damages, complaints, smoking, parties, gatherings, chargebacks, fraud.. AND you have a small portfolio with no intention of scaling - then no 🤷♀️, I guess you can keep holding your fingers crossed and not screen your Airbnb guests (at least until 💩 hits the fan, and then you'll start screening your Airbnb guests). For everyone else, if you’re dealing with whatever sized issues, big or small, whether it's real fraud, chargebacks and fake identities, or just good old parties, damages, light vandalism and rule compliance issues, and/or you're hoping to keep growing and scaling your portfolio - of course you need to screen your Airbnb guests just like you need to vet anyone else that promises to give you money and get a temporary key in exchange. Let’s debunk a critical misconception - screening doesn’t necessarily mean you have bad guests. It could mean you have problematic guests and you’re trying to get better at the proactive prevention game - we can talk about that all day! But for a professional hospitality operator in our space, guest screening simply means that you’re standardizing a fundamental process that is critical to your success and growth, and is otherwise tedious and extremely prone to human bias and error! And so, can you afford risk falling through the cracks as you scale?
