I’ve been a superhost for over 8 years,
Guests left our property and ran into our automatic farm gate, $1500 in damages…Airbnb says they won’t cover the damages, case closed. Don’t think for a minute that they protect you or your property, all a sham. They make plenty of money of our work. Please get seperate insurance to cover any guest damages…my Airbnb days are over.

Get out of Airbnb while you can or else insure heavily. Airbnb is just a voice on the line. They are NOT the equivalent of hotel security, you have to be your own. Airbnb sucks you in with their ads about trust and safety then does nothing to ensure it and takes no liability for all the risks that guests and hosts take. You might as wellbe on Craigslist. Airbnb is the biggest scam of all time.

I am sitting hostage on my deck at 4:00a.m. due to two kids taking over ny apartment. I too.am a super host and cannot believe that I am having to deal with this bullshit. They are booked for two nights, but I am getting these Cali assholes out of here asap, if I survive this whole ordeal.

I am sorry to hear of your unpleasant experience with this guest.. but, overall I think you have been very lucky so far. It is only a matter of time until you encounter some REAL problems as a result of allowing complete strangers into your home.
1) Many people allow guests into their homes only to have the guest refuse to leave, as well as refuse to pay for any additional accommodations. Often times it takes months to legally have these freeloaders evicted.. depending on the laws in your area.
2) Since guests book online.. you have absolutely NO idea who you are allowing into your home. Credentials are easily forged. For all you know you could be hosting a serial rapist or a serial killer.
Consider yourself lucky that you have never encountered the worst of the worst. You are still alive and well at this point. I think I would seriously weigh the dangers of hosting complete strangers in your home. You are courting trouble to be sure. Whatever money you may be earning.. your safety and well being are more important.
