Well Airbnb...what a drama you have caused!
Just to make it clear to our future guests (and let's be transparent here....guests may be via Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo or our Website. It does not matter a jot how you booked. Our requests are the same across all platforms! You are renting a short term furnished let, not an Airbnb!)....
🐳We have never asked guests to strip beds and we never will.
🐬We absolutely DO expect guests to wash up kitchen items used. It is simply human decency to do so and unhygienic not to do so. If you do not want to wash up the things you use during your stay, you will run out of items and make the place rancid, so please book elsewhere.
🐟We do not ask guests to take waste off site BUT on the day of check out you are expected to put your waste out for collection. The collection point is within the front doorway of the property. There is no other way to remove waste from the property, so if you resent doing this, please do not book.
🐠We have no surprise rules. BUT we do expect guests to look after, respect and leave our property as you found it. It is not too much to ask but if it is, please do not book.
🦀Now Airbnb is telling us that we cannot ask for any form of ID. It is UK Legislation that all self catering accommodation takes guest names and Nationality and verifies ID if not a British National or from The Commonwealth (over 16s only). The Immigration (Hotel Records) Order 1972 and subsequent amendments are very clear. So you will be asked to give us your names and Nationality and the required evidence that you have a legal right to stay before full check in details are provided. We have a right to know who is staying in our property and we are not willing to be prosecuted because a Booking Platform says otherwise. We independently own The NN and therefore assume all the liabilities, not Airbnb!
So please if you are happy to treat our place nicely, we would love to host you. If you want to treat it like a playground because you have 'paid a cleaning fee' and not communicate with us properly, then please go elsewhere. We want to keep the property nice for the respectful decent guests. 🙂
Happy half term!
❤️❤️❤️ TLDR.....always book direct through https://thenauticalnest.hostify.club. No fees and nicer all round. ❤️❤️❤️
