Guests asking for Extra Discount

Is it just me or are guests asking everyone for extra discounts? 

I just had a guest ask me for $100 off a two week reservation when I already give a discount for reservations over 7 days. 

Do les anyone acquiesce to these requests?

Please advise?

OK,   it doesn't offer. But counts automatically, according to booking settings. And.... topic says "Guests asking for Extra Discount" . 

I thought "EXTRA" means additional discount after reduced amount.

 

ps should I remove the discounts now? ;))

Que poco cortés es solicitar un descuento adicional cuando el anfitrión ya ofrece a su libre disposición descuentos semanales o mensuales. Creo que no deberías entrar en ese juego...porque lo que ofreces es una experiencia, un lugar que visitar, una casa para alojar, unas vacaciones en definitiva....no una baratija que se venda en un puesto de un mercadillo. Definitivamente, NO!

Annoying isn’t it? As hosts you feel like they hold you by the balls - as bad reviews affect you. I had one guest who mysteriously found roaches / took pictures. I never realized until my infuriated maid pointed out was the same two roaches a large brown and a small dark one in all pictures- all over the house. 

 

Cost me calling put my pest control etc. After all that and a maid cleaning while she was in the house, the woman writes a 5 page review on my wall stating that I never have her a discount.
