Howdy y’all! Anyone remember MythBusters? It’s an oldie but a goodie Discovery show where they tested myths and stamped each one Confirmed or Busted, like the time Adam and Jamie tried to cut down a tree with a Gatling gun. So Made for TV.
With Guest Damage Insurance launching in Hospitable soon (catch it at the November Town Hall), I dug deep into the myths I’ve told myself as a host. MythBusters style, I let the data decide which folk tales hold up, and what you can actually do about them.
- Guests who ask for a discount are cheap, can’t afford my listing, and won’t take care of it
- Larger groups always trash my property
- Pets mean more damage, right?
- Local guests are the real problem
- One night stays? Never. Those are only parties!
Check out all 20 myths, confirmed or busted with real data, in the inaugural Guest Risk Autopsy Report: Which Guests Trash Your Property, Tank Your Reviews, and Get a Refund Anyway.
