FAQ | Frequently Asked Questions
What is theXedList?
theXedList is a guest blacklist database free to the host community. All the “Xed” guests in the database were submitted by STR hosts voluntarily. By contributing to and consulting this database, hosts can make more informed decisions about who they rent their properties to, and potentially reducing the risk of future incidents.
Why should I use the Airbnb guest ID when submitting a 'Xed' guest?
The Airbnb guest ID is unique to the Airbnb guest and thus can be used by other hosts to accurately identify the guest. We encourage using the Airbnb guest ID when submitting a “Xed” guest.
How to find guest ID from Airbnb?
Go to Airbnb Inbox where you and the guest messaged with each other. Click on the guest picture and a new page of the guest will open. Look into the address bar and you will see something similar to the following. The string of numbers is the Airbnb guest ID:
https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/3465946885?profile_type=guest
https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/3465946885?profile_type=guest
How to use the Airbnb guest ID to locate the guest?
Open any guest profile from your Airbnb Inbox. The URL of the guest profile page should look like the following:
https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/3465946885?profile_type=guest
Replace the string of numbers with the guest ID number that you’d like to search in the URL and hit Enter key.

Where do all the guest information come from?
All the “Xed” guests were submitted by STR hosts voluntarily.
Why should I use theXedList when there are already guest reviews in Airbnb and VRBO?
Due to the fear of receiving a retaliatory negative review, hosts often choose to not leave a review (or leave one that is untruthful) to a problematic guest. Many times, problematic guests who received a bad review can easily get it removed by calling the platform. If they can’t get it removed, they can just simply cancel the old account and create a new one. Only with theXedList, hosts are free to share their true experience and help fellow hosts to avoid the most problematic guests without the same fear.

Should I report my guest here?
We understand that guests can be difficult sometimes. However, theXedList is a platform for hosts to share the most difficult and problematic guests (aka guests from hell). For example, guests who partied and caused excessive damage to the properties, guests who were overly demanding, tried to extort money and threatened with bad reviews, guests who were violent or conducted illegal activities in the properties etc.
How should I use the information from theXedList?
Any data or information from theXedList is strictly informational and should not be used for any legal proceedings or discriminatory practices. Please refer to our User Agreement for more details.
Who can see the Xed guest information that I submitted?
Only hosts who registered with theXedList can search and view the Xed guests.
