I don't understand why so many hosts let their guests inside without id/passport check?
We always ask documents of ALL our guests including children and then either make a photo or just write down all their data: passport no., name, citizenship, town, date and country of birth... so no way that 2 guests would enter and 2 guests would sit in the car during check in.
We have to do it because we have to register them at tourist office an because we need and want to know who they are before we give them our keys.
Doing so we don't care if they verified their id to Airbnb or not. We verify it 🙂
Guests check in and than lie and ask for a refund and that's why we have flexible cancellation policy. If they can not stay they can cancel and get a refund, there is no need for such dirty games. Luckily, cancellations are not so often on ABB as on Booking.com. In 6 months we didn't have any.
