We've just an unpleasant experience with a guest, and I wanted to know if I should raise a caution/warning about this guest - so it doesn't happen to someone else.
The guest booked for 4 nights a room in our family house, stating his reason for visiting was to attend a course at a local business school. My wife was at home to welcome him. The guest arrived in a big black car, had two security guards standing in the street(!!), and was immaculately dressed. He came across as rude and arrogant from the outset. Upon entering the bedroom he went to inspect the bed, pulling up the covers and pillows, then emptied out a linen box in the cupboard (for some unknown reason). He then expressed disappointment that the bathroom was shared and not en-suite. He walked into my sons room without asking, and tried to open the door of our bedroom.
He then left saying he was going out to dine and would return in 1 hour. He did not return of course, but cancelled, saying that his friend who was staying in a hotel had offerred him the chance to share the room for no charge.
Of course, a guest has every right to not be satisfied with the accommodation - but this man was intimidating. He had not obviously checked the details of what he was booking. And from the description I've given above you can well question why on earth he'd want to stay in a family house via airbnb, and not in some plush hotel.
I would like to warn other hosts about him, so that they do not experience this. How do I do that?
Thanks for any replies
Peter
