Reviews for someone who doesn't review back

[Sinead21]

Hi there,

We have a fairly regular guest who alternates between us and another couple of hosts when he visits town for work.

The first time he stayed, he gave us a positive review and left the place spotless.

But since then, whenever he stays, he leaves the sink full of dirty dishes. 

And he does not do a review.

I can get over the washing up, as it doesn't take long. Although, I would never think of leaving my washing-up for someone else to do.

But it is irritating that he does not give us a review.

My question is: does it reflect badly on me if I do not do a review for him? Currently, I just leave a short positive review as he is generally fine. But it feels one-sided.

Any thoughts? And my apologies if this is a common question that has been answered before.

Thanks.

Sinead

@Sinead21  No, it doesn't affect anything whether you leave a review for a guest or not. 

And if it were me, and I had a regular guest who expected me to wash their dirty dishes, I would point out how pleased you were at how spotless he left the place the first time he stayed and politely explain to him that washing his dishes is not part of your job description as a host.
