Hi Dave. What you are so honest it's scary. I'm just starting out with one property a stone thrown away from the beach. I have watched numerous videos on the subject of hosting, but yours are so good and helpful. Thanks a million from South Africa 🇿🇦
I am not sure why you believe that a 5 star property with a lot of reviews is suspicious. We do have a condo with all 5 star reviews. It is all about the experience and hospitality you offer your guests. Even if something happens is how you as a host handle the situation. My rules are no less than 5 nights, condo has to be spotless and I offer amenities that will make guest's stay easy, relaxing and worry free!
I think when anything has perfect reviews there can be an element of doubt like "this seems to good to be true". But of course all 5 stars is what every host aims for. My point in the video is that no matter how hard you try it is impossible to maintain it forever because you simply cannot please everyone. If it hasn't happened to you yet then that's great! But WHEN it does happen don't let it ruin your day/week. Hope that explains it a bit better! Thanks for watching and commenting. Where are you based?
After 20-years in the STR biz, I just received a 2-Star Review. So, do not think you are immune. Any Guest can ruin your record in spite of your fine efforts on his/her behalf--and it only takes one.

Hey Melanie I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting and subscribing! Where are you based? Have you got started yet?
You mentioned 'policy'. Ive never stayed at an airbnb but starting 1 soon. Is there a contract with rules/policies I need to do to have guests sign?
Yes it's good practice to have house rules so guests know what is and isn't allowed.
