With so many great reviews and superhost status, why hasn’t this come out before? I think you’re mistaken.

I was a WWOOF host for a couple years, and some of our guests had similar complaints. I advertised very accurately as a homestead that is also attempting permiculture and growing flowers as well as helping on improvement projects and an airbnb rental. What happens is that guests do not read any rules, fail to follow directions and just expect to show up any time like a motel.

When you look at the listing these folks are super hosts with many excellent reviews.
I am thinking this is a situation with a neighbor that is tiered of guests trespassing, and also jealous of their great small STR business. There is no recent negative review, suggesting this person never stayed at this airbnb.

Airbnb does not help or listen to rural communities and try to deal with these, or way worse nuisance problems like damages during trespassing, lost guests waking up neighbors late at night, and extra noise. Airbnb actually hides locations and promotes “lockbox operations” with the host absent as well as promoting over occupancy. Just some education and changing the platform to reward responsible hosts would be a first step.

My worst experience for a farm stay was booking at an eco-resort (before airbnb existed) that claimed to be a bird watching reserve. It was an operating ranch, with similar problems on taking guests on private property for nearby farms. It was near Quito Ecuador and we only got about 1/2 of funds returned after leaving in just 2days from a 1 week booking. This was after a near death experience which is a whole story in itself. It was booked by a travel company in NewYork or we would not have gotten much of anything returned.

This posting should be on the Neighbors category.
