So you basically just had a housemate that you didn’t enjoy living with. I am not sure what you expected? Was your guest considerate? No, she sounds entitled and selfish. However, that’s the risk you take when you let strangers book a room in your home. You could also have offered your spare room to someone who’s already in town who is looking for longer-term accommodation (in many bigger cities there are thousands of students and young professionals who are in need of housing). Why not help them? I guess you can’t charge as much when you take on a ‘local’ tenant and that person may have more rights than an AirBnB ‘guest’ but that comes with the downsides you experienced and could have anticipated.

We have a B&B and we refuse guests who want to stay longer than a week. The first few days are fine and then stories like the above happen. Guests barely complain to you, they leave online reviews. You could even record yourself asking if everything is fine and have their positive answer recorded too, just to find a negative review a few days later.

She was a spoiled child! She forgot she chose to stay there, no one grocer her to be there. She had no respect at all. I’ve traveled many places and I have noticed that ever since airbnb went mainstream the other guest got worse. I stayed in one place with 2 other rooms and another guest decided to search all of our things. I always label food with my room and checkout date, I’ve had other guest eat mine and our host’s food. There is a place in savannah that I love! The last time I stayed another guests left the kayaks out, covered in mud and left their dirty dishes and trash every where. It stated in the house rules to clean up after yourselves and if you use the kayaks to wash them off and return them the way you found them. People are getting so stupid. We are guest in someone else’s home have some respect!

You joined Airbnb out of financial despair and then moan about a guest being around all the time? Get over yourself. Indeed, you should avoid the hospitality industry and audition for the re-make of Psycho:)
