Clara, I love a good debate. I must admit that I disagree with you, and that I am adament and unaminous in that.
I wrote mine with the knowledge I learned from two recent threads, copied below, where one of the topics related to crafting a removal-proof review, i.e. one that a guest can't get removed by a complaint to AirBnB.
My goal was to write a removal-proof review AND at the same time warn potential hosts of what hosting these two would entail. I believe I succeded on both counts.
I think you wrote a generally outstanding review (except for the mis-placed em dash) but I think your review could still be removed by a complaint from the guests, Jack & Jill, mainly because you imply they were demanding, which relates to their personal behavior, by using a form of the word "demand" three times. The review also reads a bit defensive in my opinion. The part about being terriffic hosts, mentioned several times.
John:
Jack & Jill booked for four, long, eventful days with us. We tried our best to accommodate their many requests for extra services and amenities that we do not provide per our listing. We hope they were satisfied with all our extra efforts to accede to their requests for extra service.
Clara:
Jack n Jill stayed 5 very long nights and had a long list of requirements/adjustments/amenities that they needed and demanded done for them. We are hopeful that although all these demands were NOT on our listing and we never provide them to guests - we did our very best to accomodate and remain terrific hosts at the same time. In reality our place was not a correct fit for their wants, needs and demands. For the future we wish them well.
I think they both work, but I think one has a better chance of not getting removed.
Hopefully, we have given Denise some help and a lot of to think about in crafting her review.
Thank you for sharing your ideas. Good stuff!
