Now we've already had a few escort bookings but we've only found out after number of used condoms or neighbour complaints.
However I've just taken a booking arriving tomorrow and all seemed fine. The guest called me shortly after booking to check all was ok and arrange check in. However i noticed when I logged into airbnb to send the check in email that the number she'd called me from was different to the one on the booking. When I googled the number it comes up on a couple of escort websites against the details of a young woman.
So my question is if i refuse entry will Airbnb refund the guest or would if i challenge the guest and log it via the airbnb message service have enough evidence to support not letting the guest in?
What would be your grounds for refusing her entry? You may not approve of her occupation, but that's not grounds for exclusion and you will not, and should not, be able to do it without being penalised by Airbnb. If your listing prohibits visitors then you could evict her for breaching that rule when and if she breaches it. I think your wrong - prostitution and paying for sex is illegal in the UK, if this was booking. We'd simply need to show evidence that the guest is a prostitute or carrying out activites at the property.
The guest hasn't done anything illegal in your listing yet, though. Like Louise0 said, just because you disapprove of her job doesn't mean she shouldn't be allowed to stay. Well I would agree with Louise0! At this stage this person is simply a booking, has not given you indication of any potential wrongdoing.
