Dormitories

[Ed39]

At first I loved Airbnb ... but having a major problem with the dormatories. I repetedly have people thinking they can book one bed and jam in up to 6 people for as little as $3.00 per person breakfast included ... this defies logic ... yet it continues ( I am now on their "blacklist" because a guest refused to cancel ...  after this incident I've disable instant bookings).

I've listed each bed seperately, but this now evokes the problem that a person cannot book multiple beds for their travelling partners. I've snoozed all but one bed because I tired of having to constantly reply to guest only to have them indignant. 

Also ... where is the customer service for hosts?

On any website or app they design for the 80% of ways that it will be used. Your situation is simply uncommon so is difficult to arrange for as a host.

If you are renting "beds" you need to make a listing for each and every bed and make the maximum person per bed 1.  You can also make listings for 4 people & 4 beds (in particular this would work with the shared room options you host), 8 people & 8 beds, how ever many combinations you want. That way if 3 people want to book the entire room to themselves and leave the extra bed empty, that's their perogative and you've rented all 4 beds anyway.  There is no way to "add on".
