all my guests have been good so far, but my last one was particualry good,not only were they lovely peole but i earned a bunch of new items
they wanted to buy there own hypoallergenic expensive pillows and duvet inner so they brought online and shipped them to the airbnb. equaled about $300
then they brought me a $150 coffee machine as a present and they left it all when they went back overseas! 
has anyone else had any experiences worth sharing
Best thing I got was a $25 gift card to Petsmart but at $50 a night Iām sure no one will buy me a $150 coffee machine. In terms of behavior, gratitude, cleanliness, charm, talent, helpfulness and so on Iāve had too many exceptional guests to choose just one best experience.
Me too. But Iāve also had many gift cards (mostly to restaurants but also to the cinema), brand new books, bottles of wine (once a bottle of Scotch), boxes of chocolates and plenty of times a ten, twenty - or on one occasion - fifty dollar bills along with nice little notes.
I have had a guest couple insist on taking me out to a fancy restaurant on the water. They must have spent $200 on dinner. Too bad it was one of the overpriced tourist places!!! I was embarrassed at how bad the food was! Not that it stopped me from ordering the steak. 
Lots of thank you cards, several bottles of wine & bubbly, choccies and a few cash tips. Never more than Ā£25 
I did have one of my first guests take me out on the toot in town. That was a blast and a half, heh.
We just had the most wonderful Korean couple leave. They were super respectful, nice and fun to have in our home, and yesterday we cooked a Korean meal together. Which was totally great, because no one in our family had ever eaten something Korean. And to top it all off, today the girl gave me a tiny scarf for my tiny cuddle toy donkey āBurrito - El burrito viajeroā. She had knitted the scarf in the last 3 days and it was the first thing she has ever knitted. To me itās one of the best presents I have ever gotten, and Burrito is also totally over the moon with it

This morning, our guests left a lovely note and a bottle of Philosophy shower gel/bubble bath. I thought that was such a sweet gift for a host, and I canāt wait to use it!
I had a one-night guest leave a $100 bill tucked in our guest book. I was pretty shocked by that, to be honest. We have received candy, liquor, $10, $20, etcā¦ Most people write lovely notes in our guest book, and I truly cherish those. They are the gift that keeps on giving. Our first guest started our āguest bookā in a blank notebook, and most everyone writes in it.
My guest book is my favourite part too! I get so sad when the occasional guest doesnāt write anything !
No way!..you received a $100 bill?! Wow!
Have you ever posted the link to your VR on here? Iām sure all us hosts would love to see it!
You say you cherish the ālovely notesā in your guest book because āthey are the gift that keeps givingā. Heck, the gift that would ākeep givingā to me is $100 left in the pages of my Guest Bookā¦or in any other place. 
I really looked forward to reading my Guest Book. There were about 10 pages of the 300 pages filled out. Then, someone decided it was a pretty cool book and apparently put it in their suitcase.
Weāve had so many. This is the payoff - meeting interesting persons from around the globe. We love the little gifts, notes and cards. On any given night we can be hosting a schoolteacher from New Hampshire to the CEO of Warner Bros. Weāve had photographers - big names and amateurs, authors, cattlemen, and artists. Itās like being Mr. Rourke on Fantasy Island.
I have never received cash, aside from spare change, but a couple years ago, guests who had booked Christmas week texted to ask me my favorite colors and brought me a hammock from Ecuador. They were a sweet couple from Switzerland on a round the world holiday, traveling from Air to Air.
pics please! ā¦
I was shocked myself! To be completely honest (and this is so hokey), I keep it on my fridge off to the side next to my check-in calendar. It lifts my spirits when Iām having a tough guest day. Iām sure Iāll spend it one day, but it has also become the gift that keeps on giving in its own right.
I have not posted my listing before, but thank you for asking. Iāve been a bit shy, but I will share it.
Oh, I just looked at your posting on the other thread (āShow off your Airbnb listingā) and itās lovely ā so light, bright and cheerful!
i had so many good ones but Carlos definitely stole my heart. To the point that I wanted my daughter to marry him and have his babies . Butā¦ he was already married .
Whoaā¦itās all in the (hot) details!
You win my award for the Best Guest Experience of them all!
(It fed MY fantasies anyway!)
Thank you so muchāthat means a great deal to me!
