How do I reach airbnb to tell them. I'm a woman and live alone. Ah, I understand, Kelie0. Still a worry while they are there if the gate codes given to the outside guests get passed along to others, but not a forever worry. Just talked to guest - he was very embarrassed - or at least seemed to be. He said they were very hungover - all sleeping at 5pm - said it would not happen again - I truly believe he had no clue how dangerous it is - or perhaps just didn't think about the rest of us who live here.
I'll get all codes changed and hope this will be the end of this. In the mean time - I've alerted all neighbors and have my cameras all set to set off an alarm. First time using this forum - thank GOD I've not had this or any 'major' issues before.
Thank you. Kelie0 I truly hope that this interaction has resolved your conflict with the guest, and that you now feel safe in your home until he's gone. Future hosts will appreciate it if you write an honest review.
Best case scenario is that you don't have a problem like this again, but realistically a situation like this might come up in the future. In your relationship with Airbnb you should be aware that they have no policy preventing a problematic guest from leaving a review, and that they have no capacity to protect you if a guest makes you feel unsafe.
For your own protection, I strongly suggest that you have a network of trusted contacts established to help you on the hopefully rare occasions when you have to put your foot down. Once again, it doesn't help your case to depict unregistered visitors in a demeaning way because you believe they are sex workers.
