I’ve been running an Airbnb for 2yrs now. We bought 3 sets of laundry (sheets/towels etc) so there was always a spare set in case of accidents etc.
The spare set is now entirely missing and we have less than 2 sets worth of hand towels left.
Anybody know if this is normal or how to stop it if (as I suspect) scumbags are stealing stuff?

Leave the spares with your cleaners, or locked in a cabinet. If you need them because of accident the cleaner can take them or you can give the tenant the code to the lock.
The spares are locked up. The stuff that’s going missing is what the guests get. I hadn’t thought to count everything after each guest, I knew some would get stolen but not to this extent!
lol well shit, yeah I guess people have been stealing this stuff from hotels since forever as well. Can’t you don’t ring them a charge if it goes missing after they leave through Airbnb?
That’s what I’m going to have to start doing! I hadn’t been doing inventory between guests, didn’t think it would be such a big problem! The question is whether you would actually get anything back from Airbnb, the kind of person that would steal stuff isn’t the kind that would admit to it
Totally normal
Put in contract an excessive charge you will charge for missing items. Have cleaning company let you know. Legitimate humans will let you know if there was an accident ( digestion issues ) or something. 🫂
There may be statutes in your locale that govern how/what/howmuch you can charge for fees like this. Worth looking into and talking to a lawyer before you get some stupid lawsuit for 1,000,000 SATS claiming a statutory violation for a 2,500 sat fee.
Fair. I’ve never had prior issues but appreciate it. Truly 🫡🫂🙏
I'm a litigator and if more people talked to lawyers before they did things I probably wouldn't have a job so no worries!
Heard. If humans were more empathetic and kind … I’d not be here 🤣🙏🫡
It's interesting to think about. I do often. That in a world that is totally apocolyptic or completely perfect, I have no purpose.
My tourist town is almost entirely circular so … my only purpose is to spread love to tourists 🤣🤣🤣
Is that three rings and a nirvana pillow? The meme-eludes me.
Indeed it’s for nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m as we’re best friends and I’m trolling him for fun 🤩 🤣🤣🤣🫡
It must be nice to have friends.
797 you don’t
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m Hey 👋 Bestie …
Thanks 🙏 for doing this. Appreciate you more than I will ever tell you.
Also … you know I like older men so … You look 👀 HAF now. Not that I plan to ever see you again … cause US. 😘 🫶

I had thought our cleaners would let us know stuff was disappearing. Looking at what other hosts say on Airbnb it seems there’s little recourse as you have to prove things are missing. How do you prove a missing towel!
Going to do the checks myself now but it will add 30mins extra labour per booking.
Wish I knew how unprofitable Airbnb’s were before I got into it 😂
