Hi@Nicco
Its really not on , you publishing the details of full name of this guest, and her location, as it is against,
la legge privacy che esiste in Italia, such as breaching a basic right to having privacy.
I don’t think this guest would be too happy knowing you’ve plastered her details over this thread for starters!
Regarding wishing to keep your options open, really the advice that fellow host @Branka0 has given you is quite correct, you have 2 choices as she has described.
Also I still think it’s quite cheeky of you, to ask a guest to accept your request, to jump from a moderate cancellation to a strict cancellation policy, at this stage of the booking.
Its really another version of changing the goal posts AFTER a booking has taken place and it’s really disappointing that as a host you think there is nothing wrong with suggesting such a thing.
Put it this way, how would you feel if this guest now asked you to reduce the price of your listing?......Yes I thought as much!
Just have a strict cancellation policy for all bookings at least you have a better chance of the guest turning up as they have more to lose.
