@Ann72 Thank you so much for the kind words! The chalet was a pretty big project and we're really happy she's online and cranking now. Funny note related to that was the actual "invite" that inspired the original question was for my other listing, NOT the chalet, lol!
Really appreciate everyone's thoughts. I did the multi-platform thing years ago when I first started this and didn't like it. We're ratcheting up/down our prices so often just on Airbnb and to have to do it on other platforms would be too much to deal with.
That's an interesting point about being able to cancel for some would-be guests on Plum Guide. . . We have been, and always will be, whatever the strictest of strict can be for all bookings. So I'd hate to have to be forced to allow cancelations of any kind without being compensated at least to the standards of Airbnb's current Strict policy.
@Helen3 I definitely echo your sentiments from the outset. It's like: "Here, you're better than everyone, now give us money." Ha! Maybe, maybe not. . .
It's easy to start getting swept away anytime that sort of thing happens - gotta watch it!
