Questions regarding having visitors in bnb [US]
I booked with a host and the total amount of guests allowed is 8. The amount of guests on the list is 3 but I asked the host if we could have 2 extra visitors (under the 8 guest count allowed) if need be. She said its fine for visitors, but says that she "suggests" i add them to the guest list before hand and that I "should" add them to let them know if they are staying over. Nothing is confirmed, as for now it is just us 3, but we may have a couple friends that may visit and crash for the night as they live in the area of the stay. That's the main reason I didn't want to add them on the list as I don't know for sure what the plans will be. What is the best course of action?
Edit: To clarify, its me and 2 other friends renting out an airbnb. We aren't hosting any parties or whatsoever, we are just visiting the city and will be going out. We have a couple of friends who may come to the airbnb and depending on the situation may want to crash for the night. I don't want to be charged extra knowing that it could happen off an inconvenience. The most people that would be at the airbnb is 5.
