Current literature of peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation has primarily focused on dyadic host-guest relationships while neglecting another important type of interpersonal relationship in real accommodation-sharing settings: the guest-to-guest interaction. This research aims to explore interactions between P2P accommodation guests and particularly, examine the role of other guests in shaping P2P accommodation guests’ motives and on-site experiences . The thematic analysis of interview data identified an uncertainty-interaction nexus consisting of four types of guest-to-guest relationships: price tradeoff,co-production of stimulating experiences, reticent sharing, and sharing partnership. Different relationship patterns are closely related to guests’ diverse motives for using P2P accommodation and some reflect guests’ intended collaborations and community awareness. Our findings further indicate that the relationship patterns between guests are not fixed, which can change according to the culmulation of guests’ P2P accommodation experiences and hosts’ compatibility management. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.

当前的点对点 (P2P) 住宿文献主要关注二元主客关系，而忽略了实际住宿共享环境中另一种重要的人际关系类型：客人与客人的互动。本研究旨在探索 P2P 住宿客人之间的互动，特别是考察其他客人在塑造 P2P 住宿客人的动机和现场体验中的作用。访谈数据的主题分析确定了一个不确定性互动关系，包括四种类型的客人与客人的关系：价格权衡、刺激体验的共同生产、沉默的分享和分享伙伴关系。不同的关系模式与客人使用 P2P 住宿的不同动机密切相关，其中一些反映了客人的预期合作和社区意识。我们的研究结果进一步表明，客人之间的关系模式不是固定的，它可以根据客人的 P2P 住宿体验和主人的兼容性管理的累积而改变。讨论了研究结果的理论和实践意义。
