I give no any comment on this host but i would like to tell a story , a real story about my family's ( my wife , my daughter and me ) trip in Apollo Bay , surely it is a tragedy.
I booked the house for 9.16 - 9.18 . Before my booking , i checked not only the house amenities , but also comment from the guests as usual. Everything looked so nice and picture of the host indicated they were an amiable couple so that i had a strong desire to book it .
As they accepted maximum 2 guests for each booking , i changed amounnt of guests to be 2 instead of 3 . I would clarify something : 1) I thought the host limited amount of guests no more than 2 , probably cause there are 2 bedrooms with 2 beds only , not convenient for 3 . but we couple may share one bed and my daughter takes the other bed . 2) As mentioned , i had a strong desire to accommodate at this house.
From my first booking till check-in is about 20 days and during this period we ever sent messages to each other regard the checking detail via Airb&b , the last message I sent to the host was half an hour prior to our arrival . On 16 September, we reached at the house after a long driving from Melbourne, but were rejected to check in cause we had 3 guests . Being striked by this result , i lost my mind for a couple seconds. I explained to her that we did not know 3 guests would be rejected for checking in from very beginning , also she never checked with us exact amount of guests. The lady insisted on rejecting us cause they had stated no more 2 guests would be accepted in the booking notice . No matter what we have explained to her , even we begged her , she did not change her mind. The result was we had to book another house finally although we paid a big amount of money for the house .
I do not know why she limits the amount of guests to be maximum 2 while there are 2 bedrooms, also there is no need to know for me. This might be her privacy , she has the right to do this way as an owner of the house. Anyhow this limitation is not regular , many guests do not know it.
So there should be need to strengthen this limitation by checking with guests. Otherwise i doubt if the host is playing a trick. Till the time we arrived , the host never checked with us .
The host limited the accommodation for maximum 2 guests , i wonder if one couple with 2 years old child , will be counted as 2 or 3 .
I was wondering why the host gave a long face at first sight , we never offended her.
The host thinks her own privacy only , never thinks ohters . Being a house-renter , you should know the guests may come from all over the world , they may have different culture . You have your limitation but it is not popular , you need to let the others know this to avoid any misunderstanding . It is service . Serve you well and serve guests well .
I still trust all comments on the house is true and my experience this is also true . I spent much time on words organization , telling my experience so that the coming people may see a real host , avoid my miserable story repeated.
