i need suggestions on how to handle a request for a stay that has no reviews and comes off rude in text conversation.
I have a guest requesting a reservation. After reviewing it, they have joined since 2018 and have no reviews. there are 9 guests but no description(children/Adults etc). So i declined and sent a note as to why. when asked to provide a brief description about self and guests it was brief and read poorly (rude). Now they are sending another request. Should i follow my gut and not respond or take a chance?
Useally i first ask for more information and when answer does not suit me, i decline the request. Now you declined first and then asked for more information. Which can be intrepreted by the guest as " I provided you with what you wanted and now i can book again".
So you try to ask the guest to retract the booking request if you consider the guest and family not as a good fit. Otherwise decline again and make clear to the guest not to book again.
