Holiday Let Guests, A Survival Guide

Written by Sonia Bradley

Hosting an Airbnb is a bit like running a small hotel, a therapy practice, a customer service hotline, and a detective agency all from your phone, usually while wearing pyjamas and wondering where all the teaspoons have gone.

You’ll meet wonderful guests who leave glowing reviews, strip the beds, and make you believe humanity is thriving. You’ll also meet guests who message at midnight because they “can’t work the oven,” only to discover it wasn’t plugged in. Some guests will treat your home like a luxury retreat; others will somehow use every mug, every towel, and possibly every ounce of your patience in a single weekend.

Then there are the truly unforgettable ones, the people who genuinely believe you control the weather. If it rains, it’s your fault. If the sea is too loud, somehow that’s also your fault. One day, you may even receive a complaint about “too many seagulls,” as though you personally hired them.

Hosting teaches you many unexpected skills: crisis management, emergency plumbing coordination, remote thermostat troubleshooting, and the ability to reply politely to messages beginning with, “This might sound strange, but…”

But despite the chaos, the mystery stains, the disappearing remote controls, and the occasional 2 am panic over Wi-Fi passwords, hosting can also be hilarious, rewarding, and strangely addictive.

This book is here to help you survive it all, with practical advice, honest lessons, and plenty of laughs along the way.
