Comments on: Threats and Lies from Horrible Guests https://www.airbnbhell.com/threats-and-lies-from-horrible-guests/ Uncensored Airbnb Stories from Hosts & Guests Tue, 23 Apr 2019 21:42:41 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Beth https://www.airbnbhell.com/threats-and-lies-from-horrible-guests/comment-page-1/#comment-25895 Tue, 23 Apr 2019 21:42:41 +0000 https://www.airbnbhell.com/threats-and-lies-from-horrible-guests/#comment-25895 All great comments here, so I just want to add that criminal charges should be an option. Given how skilled this person is at stalking and finding ways to threaten you, it’s probably not isolated. There may be a lot of terrified, bullied people in his wake, or maybe in his future. Police contact sounds like a great idea to me. It creates a record in case he does it again. You can drop charges if he is sufficiently sorry.

Both of these people violated Airbnb’s policies and Airbnb will terminate them. You didn’t do anything wrong. Shrug it off–this is business and keep it that way.

Hosts routinely charge for extra guests because each guest means additional utilities used, linens & sheets used & additional cleaning required. As a host, I learned the hard way after 2 horrible experiences, I don’t EVER exceed my stated maximum occupancy. I emphasize with your situation.

1. Report this guest to Airbnb for the threats & trolling. Ask this guest to be banned from being able to contact you.
2. Report the separate threatening account to Airbnb so Airbnb can shut it down because the Airbnb terms of service prohibits threatening or extortion.
3. If you want to respond to the guest about the cancellation, tell them to contact Airbnb Customer Service.
4. If a reservation is made at least 2 weeks & 2 days in advance, the guest can cancel within 48 with full refund including Airbnb fees. If she made the reservation less than 16 days in advance, she loses the opportunity to cancel outside of the host’s stated cancellation policy. Meaning if you have anything other than Flexible, she will forfeit part or all of her payment.

It is wise for all guests to read the listing information fully and be aware of the cancellation policy before booking so there are no surprises.

5. Please don’t refund Maygan for exposing who is making the threats. Airbnb can follow the bogus account back and see the identifications they have on file. Airbnb can provide you with that information. It may require a subpoena.

Best wishes with this. The important thing is to stay safe.

This kind of scaremongering always ends up where it belongs: the trash can…….
