Hi all,
I have been a super host for the past 1 year and have just recently encountered a problem after a guest left.
I know the subject of negative reviews has come up before but still I can't decide what to do.
Here is my problem:
The guests stayed for 2 weeks and after one week I offered to clean the room, ensuite bathroom and change the bedding.
They said eveything was ok and not to bother.
At the end of the 2 weeks (they left on a Saturday morning at the same time as I was leaving for a weekend break) I was not able to "check" the room fully until I returned after the weekend.
On returning I found 3 stained pillow cases and 2 stained pillows.
I found permanent hair colourant in the bin and tried to wash the stains out of the pillows/cases but without success.
What the guests actually did was strip the bed and replace 2 of the pillow cases hoping I would not notice the problem. In fact when I offered to strip the bed and give clean bedding I now realise that the pillow cases were a different colour so they had already changed them without telling me about the problem after the first week. Also the colour of the pillow cases is different to the original ones and doesn't match the bed sheet.
So I now need to replace 2 pillows and a pillow case. Still mistified as to why they did not mention this to me as the communication was great throught their stay. They wrote a review for me the next day and I need to write mine asap.
Should I let it go, because it is not important enough or should I write a negative review?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
