Hi there guys,
I've been hosting for years but since moving to my new flat in June, I have two listings: one for shared, one for the entire place.
Now a French family arrived this afternoon falsely believing they booked the entire place for the next 4 nights. Even in our initial emails I mentioned that I would be here and they tell me that they host at home so they should be pretty well acquainted with the process.
So what I’d like to ask you lot is what I should do...
The lady just asked if she could pay the difference and I, well, bugger off, pretty much. She even wanted me to find out there and then so she could get on with her day, but I said it will take me a little bit of time to find out if I can stay elsewhere and to pack up my clothes etc.
Luckily, as it happens, I can stay around the corner but I feel as though I should be remunerated more than just the difference in price each night. I’ve had to spend the afternoon preparing a room which I hadn’t anticipated and it has just put me out a bit.
What do you think? The difference in price from 4 people sharing with me to the whole place is £40 more a night. What do you think I should do? Or should I just stay here?
Thanks for reading!
Daisy
