So it’s New Year’s Day. Happy New Year’s Day to all.
I was 100% booked last night, Yeah!
Not surprisingly, all arose late and all left one hour past checkout.
One group asked politely, but manipulatively ( assuring herself that I had no others coming today…) .
One group claimed checkout was noon on the written greeting sheet (it wasn’t so)
The other guy just slept late. I let him, because I was dealing with the others.
NONE LEFT A CASH TIP!
Is this service over above or not? Is this something guests appreciate or just assume?
In light of Airbnb’s anti-tipping policy, either I have to accept their behavior, charge them formally or kick them out.
I know these are the rules, but I’m vexed.
So now comes the review:
Neutral? “Guests left one hour after checkout”
Haughty? “Although guests seemed appreciative for an hour late checkout, their lack of a gratuity showed they really did not appreciate it”.
Forward looking? “I do hope guests will show next host a token of appreciation for their hour overstay”
