What do you feel Airbnb should have done about it?
I haven't tried to use it before, so I'm not sure about the process, however it seems to me that a homeowner is in no different of a position than a hotelier.
It would make sense that your price contains the cost of insurance, and that your own rules / t&c's govern the guests stay.
Surely the recourse is a civil case against the guest rather than against airbnb?
I doubt any hotel could sue booking.com for the actions of a guest
- rjsw 10y agoHotels usually have the credit card number of the guest.

- Normal_gaussian 10y agoI mean, it's the hotelier's responsibility to get insurance. Is there no way for an Airbnb host to get the identity of their guest?

I've never used Airbnb so I don't know, but Airbnb hosts do not have the same legal protection as a hotel and they might actually be in violation of local and state laws plus any lease agreements they are a party to.
