There is no ambiguity there. People seem to pay attention when it affects their bottom-line. Checking out later than 11.00am will incur a late check-out fee of £470 in line with Airbnb … This is the surest way to create insanity for yourself as a host.

After check-out time the guest has no license to be on your property and are trespassing without insurance. They left by 11.23. My hats off to you. I’m going to buy one of those storage chests… I love it!

To check the status of your payout, visit your transaction history. 10.00 if they have not got the message a Knock on the door to let them know guests want to check in. Even if they have been sleeping at the time of my call they have enough time to get ready for departure. Whether they’re arriving early or leaving late, your guests will show you immediate gratitude if you can unburden them of their luggage, even for a few hours. How? Our Airbnb is on property, so it works out well as long as I don’t have an appointment, however, in those cases they can check-in on the keypad with the last four digits of their cell number and I’ll arrange to meet them later. Nobody has gone later than an hour late with us, none have yet caused any problem, but guests leaving on a tightly scheduled turnaround get told that check-out is required to be prompt and we'll be insisting they leave on time. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type.

Guest believe charging for that is unappropriate. In our case a message (via Airbnb) would be "Hi, just checking with you about check-out time.. Check-out is 11.00am. We use a a key lockbox with the code changed for each guest (set to last 4 digits of their phone number). You can @ more than one username. Just imagine dealing with check-in requests that range from 12-4pm on any given day. In 3 years I've only had 1 guest who had an extremely late checkout (3 hours) without prior coordination.
Also, if I get big storage, they can store skis and strollers without dragging them into my house and damaging floors. And if they’ve traveled far to stay with you, chances are good they’ll have plenty of it. Would you let it go or would you charge, or indeed have you charged?

$10?


As a host, you know the scenario... otherwise great guests, overstay, doesn't really impact your day, you charge $10, they dislike that you charged them, you then get penalised in the review and your claim for an overstay of $10 is rebuked and you get $5. The payout you’ll receive is your nightly rate minus the host service fee. When a host payout is ready to be paid to you, it will be released to your payout method for processing.

It's the only way that really works.

Keep your communication through Airbnb messaging, Inform, then explain the consequences. In our case a message (via Airbnb) would be "Hi, just checking with you about check-out time.. Check-out is 11.00am. Super easy for both host and guest. Nearly every guest has been close to the ETA or alerted if they were running late. @Kim1039   I would think you want to balance the chances of whether a charge will incur a revenge review, and whether that is worth it, so I would probably let it go and just give them a negative review.
