Hi Everyone, I've been a lurker here for months and have gained great tips and advise from you all. Over New Year's weekend I hosted 4 guests at our cabin which is approximately 90 miles away in the mountains. Their checkout was supposed to be January 2 at 11am but they didnt leave until just after 12pm. I know this because my cleaning crew was getting there as they were leaving. Usually this isn't a big deal, but I had another guest who was going to be checking in later in the day. Since I am not physically there to inspect the property, I rely on the cleaning crew to make sure there is no damage etc. I received a text from them later after they left the property that there was vomit on one of the beds. They didn't take a picture because something was wrong with her phone. Regardless, they charged me an excess cleaning fee of $25. I asked if it looked like they tried to clean up or if they just left it there and she replied that it didnt appear that they attempted to clean it up. The guest had already left a review but I had not so I couldn't see it yet. When I wrote my review, it was short and factual, I said that they communicated great leading up to the check in, but left un-cleaned up vomit on the bed as well as checked out 1 hr late without notifying us. I posted the review and then used the resolution ctr to request the $25 excess cleaning fee from them. I'll note that their review of us and the accomodation was very positive. Shortly after this I received a message from the guest. He apologized and admitted that there was vomit on the bed, but said that they did clean it, because if they hadn't, it would have been all over the bed! He then stated that I had two choices, leave the bad review on his profile, or charge him the $25, but not both. (I'm thinking, is this guy for real) I havent responded, but I intend to tell him dispute the $25 dollars or pay it, but the review sticks. I am also assuming that since he admitted making the mess, airbnb will charge him anyway whether he agrees to it or not. What do you guys think? Am I making a big deal out of nothing?
