@Gianna44 I'm sorry you have such a nasty guest. When you get guests like this, the best way to handle it is not to give in to their demands at all. Right from the very beginning. Be firm, polite and professional. "I'm sorry, XXX, but we don't offer laundry service. That is not an amenity on our listing. There's a laundromat 2 blocks from here at....". "Yes, I know, the last guest broke that table and we haven't had time to fix it. Would you like me to come take it away, as it seems to bother you to see it?" That kind of thing.
Guests like this are never pleased, no matter how much you try to accomodate their demands, they will just keep asking for more and keep complaining. They also will leave bad reviews, even if you did do everything they asked, so there's no point in bending over backwards for them.
No, you won't be penalized for writing an honest review of the guest. Low stars, not recommended. Other hosts need to know that this is not an acceptable guest.
And the guest can't see your review of him until he submits a review, or after 14 days if he doesn't. Then it will be too late for him to leave a review.
How long is his booking for? If I were you, I'd let him cancel and he'll get a refund on the nights he didn't stay. He isn't eligible for a refund for the days he did stay. I have to say, I don't understand why you offered him a discount on a future stay- why would you want this person back?

Good Morning! @Sarah977 @Emiel1
Thank yo very much for your answer!
Now I understand perfectly. We received many guests and with none of them, this had happened to us. If any situation arose, it was always solved in good terms, or with a kind gesture on our part it was enough, so that the guest was satisfied and satisfied. But this case was very different. Today he is leaving, he just called me again, he asked me for a refund, I told him that it was not possible, that no refund was justified as our booking and our services had been impeccable.
I thank you very much for the advice to host, I will take them into account and put into practice for my next guests. This is one more experience of which something important I have learned
Thank you very much, Regards
Gianna
