He would not allow me to be a good host!

I need some opinions:

I had a 3 night guest and on the second day he said “the place was great but there are some things missing, I will tell you at the end.” I said tell me now so I can fix it. He did not respond. This drove me nuts what did I forget! I asked again and no response.  Finally he tells me as he’s checking out !Turns out it was not enough coffee mugs and no dishwasher soap pods!  I live 5 feet from my rental I could have fixed this almost instantly.

 

Now, do I write a negative review for this guy he was rude from the start! I feel like he is going to blast me for this and I have never gotten a bad review.  I think this guys lack of communication makes him a bad guest and deserves a neg review any one care to offer advice.

Geesh, that’s a little ridiculous! I would give him a 3 (or less) for communication and be completely honest in the review:

"XX let me know early in his stay that there were some areas lacking but was not willing to disclose what they were. I reached out a few times asking what he needed as I live right next door and could quickly fix the issues but received no response. After he had checked out, I received a message with what was missing (not enough coffee mugs and no dishwasher soap pods.) Had he efficiently communicated, we both would have had a much better experience.”
