Evaluation

Evaluation

We had our first evaluation ever. It is 4 star because of différent things ( the basement sink had been used and the basement stairs were dirty but they saw the plumber working in the house when they arrived because we had some issues. There is a bar near so we paid them a drink during the plumber did his job so this part was not a issue for them. Also, they said the house wasn,t ready to welcome people because a part of the land is a little crappy but in the house manual,  it is written to avoid that part. We have a 15 acre land so it is not like they did not have any other place to go. They clearly did not read our manual . We find this evaluation unfair but i guess it is part of the game. What can we do to make sure the communication is better and people actually read the listings so this does not happen anymore 

 

thanks from the newbies

I understand it is not a comfortable position when a negative Review.

I don't think your going to have a plumber emergency regularly, so that was just a minor unexpected inconveinance, for the Guest and the Host.

As to land area not standard even though the majority is, that is just a loophole.  You have disclosed in your manual, I suggest even just a small garden fence around the area, to say not available.

The thing I would really think about is a 4 for minor inconveinaces and your buying them a drink didn't create a positive reaction.  Some people are just generally complainers sometimes we have to reveiw our interaction created a negative response.  The Guest did give a 4 but if serious issues one would expect a 2 or 3.  I would look at the Review Catagories, that is Guest controoled independebt of Overall Rating.  Sometimes all 5s and theb a 4 Overall , sometimes you will get a better picture if cleanliness is scored 2 there  is a bigger issue  then plumber using stairs.
