How do I
behave as a respectful traveller?
By traveling with Ethnic
BNB, you have the chance to stay in a unique place to stay and connect directly
with other members of our community. We hope you will accumulate memories,
stories and a sense of belonging, no matter how far away you are from home.
To help you
prepare, here are some helpful tips on how to make the most of your space and
your host.
Before your booking
1.
Introduce
yourself in the bio section of your profile and have your information such
as your email address, phone number, and government-issued ID verified. Hosts
prefer to know people who want to stay with them, so you'll have a higher
chance of having your booking requests accepted.
2.
Ethnic
BNB offers a wide variety of accommodation, ranging from shared rooms to entire
accommodations. Make sure that the accommodation, house rules, and style
of accommodation match your needs.
3.
Take
the time to review your host's listing to make sure the listing is right for
you.
4.
Get
an idea of the property's strengths and cons by reading reviews from other
guests.

Feel
free to contact the host with any questions you may have about the
accommodation.

clearly with your host about your expectations or any special needs.

your commitments (including the time of arrival) and respect the house rules.

your host's home as if you were at a friend's house. Respect your neighbours.

are in their neighborhood!

If
in doubt, contact your host with any questions or problems.
