If you are a host or a co-host of an Airbnb, then this article is for you and you should read it till the end. When setting up your Airbnb profile, you need to know how to properly communicate to your potential guests what is acceptable and what is not.
If you will not accept pets in your Airbnb, you will not just blurt it out there. Even if you don’t owe anyone an explanation of why you don’t want a pet in your Airbnb, you can subtly communicate it to them.
This gives your potential clients the impression that you care about them, and they will appreciate it more. It is also important to let them know so that they don’t journey with their pets only to be turned away at the door.
Now that you have seen the importance of passing such vital information, how do you tell potential guests that their pets are not allowed in Airbnb?
