First time for me…

Just got a request. I have IB on, so red flag alert on high. Guest has 3.5 stars in every category, and three reviews. Two most recent are from large vacation rental outfits…typical  ‘great guest’ reviews, though one was much more specific than the other. The troubling one was the first review (only 7 m ago) which mentioned late checkout, a mess and smoking. I’m thinking a straight NO. I really don’t wish to spend two nights worrying about my place. What wound you do? Would you ask them to explain the reviews? Ask if they’re reformed, lol? Give them a chance, or just no…..

The kind of people who are planning to make the host deeply regret accepting them?

Are there no other options in that area? It seems like they would look for an easier victim.

@Colleen253 good job. Yep straight decline for me. But my guest would have come back with something snarky.
