Some aspects of guests rating of host are necessary and relevant....some are not!
I have a few 4 stars lately based on Value and Location.
Now forget all about location, neither I, ABB or God can do anything about that, and all that one tells us is what an a*s the guest is.
But Value, now to me, that stings a bit.
I charge $85 pr night with no cleaning fee, no security deposit, for 2 people using one bed.
If the guest had to puchase and supply what I supply as 'freebies' it would cost them at least.....
This is not even considering soap, face wipes, tissues, toilet paper, refuse bags!
So, before the guest has put a foot in the cottage, $55.00 has already been supplied.
That's not what it costs me......... but it is what the guest would pay if they purchased these things
That means they get to sleep on a nice bed, use hot water, heating, cooking utensils, unlimited high speed WiFi, TV and this in a clean environment for $30.00 per night....and they give me a 4 star for value!!
What exactly am I supposed to do...... give it to them gratis or even hand them a dollar bill or two for the priviledge of having them stay here??
Put in those terms Value is about as silly as Location for something to be rated on.
Just another rant I needed to make!
Cheers.....Rob
