How to Avoid Host Penalties When Enforcing Your House Rules

Description

You decline a booking because guests want to exceed your posted occupancy limit. Days later, your listing ranking drops and bookings slow down.

We break down why platforms penalize hosts for enforcing legitimate house rules, the real business impact of these penalties, and six strategies to protect your listings without compromising your standards.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Platform algorithms penalize all booking declines equally, even when you’re enforcing clearly stated policies

✅ Multi-channel distribution protects your business when one platform drops your ranking

✅Direct booking websites eliminate penalty risk entirely while keeping 100% of revenue

✅ Documentation and strategic support contact can successfully reverse penalties already applied
