Do I have to write a review

Do I have to write a review

I had a guest who paid for three, and seven stayed at least two nights. I don't want the hassle of writing a review. Doesn't look like ABNB responds well.

What are the consequences, does  ABNB insist on it?

Why wouldn't you want to alert your fellow hosts to the fact these guests are dishonest and book for 3 but turn up with 7 by writing a honest review of their stay? @Marie1382 

 

Hope you sent them a request to cover the costs of the additional 4 guests.

 

In terms of hassle - in the time it took you to post here you could have written their review 🙂

 

In answer to your question, you won't be penalised by Airbnb for not reviewing your guests.

For love of your fellow hosts, @Marie1382 , please do write a review, as @Helen3 suggests. You can say only "XX booked for three guests, but meant to book for seven." It is factual, and shouldn't lead to any hassle of the guest writing to argue. (Is that the hassle you mean?)

Your fellow hosts will know what's up with that and will do some extra questioning of that guest. They will appreciate the heads up.

@Marie1382  What do you mean "Doesn't look like Airbnb responds well?" 

 

Reiterating what the other hosts have said, please do leave a review- it takes all of 5 minutes, max. No what I'd call a hassle.

Wouldn't you have wanted to be warned about these guests by other hosts? If hosts decline to leave honest reviews, how does that help anyone?
