I'm a newish host, enjoying it so far, and need some guidance from experienced hosts please. From the outside of my house, I observed that my guests, who had left for the evening, had turned on the air conditioning in their room and left the windows open at the same time.
I knocked and announced myself in case only one of the guests had gone out, and went in to turn off the air conditioner (the temperature outside was already below 70 and dropping). Afterward I wondered if I should have just left and be and spoken to them in the morning. What is the standard in this situation?
Also, the guest had booked only for himself. He texted me and said "we'll be arriving" -- should I have asked for the second party's name at that point. What do you find effective in getting people to book everyone in their party at the original booking time?
Thank you very much for any advice you can give me!
