**What if my Airbnb guest has too many guests?**
If your Airbnb guest has too many guests, it can be a tricky situation to handle. As a host, you want to make sure that your property is being used responsibly and within the agreed upon terms. Having too many guests can lead to additional wear and tear on the property, disturbances for the neighbors, and potential liability issues. It’s important to have clear rules and guidelines in place to prevent this situation from occurring, and to know how to address it if it does happen.
To start, it’s crucial to have a maximum occupancy limit clearly stated in your listing. This will set expectations for your guests from the beginning and give you a solid basis to address the issue if it comes up. If you find that your guest has exceeded the maximum number of guests allowed, it’s important to address the situation promptly but professionally. Begin by reaching out to the guest to remind them of the occupancy limit and ask them to come into compliance. If the guest refuses to comply or becomes hostile, you may need to involve Airbnb to mediate the situation. In extreme cases, you may have to ask the guest to leave the property.
**Frequently Asked Questions**
What should I do if my guest brings more people than agreed upon?

Can I charge extra for additional guests?
Yes, you can charge extra for additional guests. Make sure this policy is clearly stated in your listing and that the guest is aware of the additional charges before booking. If you do decide to charge extra, be sure to follow Airbnb’s policies and guidelines for adjusting the reservation and collecting additional fees.
What if the extra guests cause damage to my property?
