The most stupid reason for a guest to unbook at last moment. Let's share real stories from practice

[Olga464]

My neighbour had a 19 y.o. client once (during internet gamers rally in our city) 

who unbooked at last moment, when already entered the apartment and saw 

there was written on modem info-table

"FI-WI" instead of "WI-FI"

After that accident my neighbour was sitting on my kitchen with his eyes of a plate size:

- It's the first time in my 10 years rental practice...

- Well, - I say, - rental business is like a sexual act. Let's imagine you had no sex this time.

- I cleaned up everything.... I would better got screwed.

- You already got screwed. The client is getting younger. Standards are changing.

Did you have similar weird cases in your practice?

@Olga464,

Offcourse the guest left, he needs Wi-Fi, not Fi-Wi. Also the listing should mention there is Fi-Wi available, underwise it is misleading ;>)

Best regards,

Cancelled reservation after she asked how many coffee cups we have. The answer is 12. 

They were going to be 4 people.

There is a dishwasher, detergent, sponge, dish brush..

You were lucky, they were going to invite 20 additional friends  !

@Olga464The young&old can't live without the Wifi, but it has to be more to the story?

Because this young guy could have asked if the place had access to Wifi?

I thought this one was getting up there with the best. This all happened within the space of 40 minutes.

They booked to arrive by car within a couple of hours, suddenly realised they were 2,000 Kilometres away from me in another state and cancelled!!!

Note, I still got the opportunity to review them, even though they never got closer than 2,000Kms!!!

 

Cheers.....Rob

@Robin4 No, Robin. The most stupid cancellation I will be facing tomorrow because of my own stupidity. Recently I got a latch on a bathroom door fixed. And the guy changed the position of outer side of the latch. So I used with the years if the line on that metal round thing is vertical - the door is closed, somebody's in the bathroom. And when horizontal - the bathroom is free. And now everything is opposite.

So, today I am having the guest - a guy. I come back home from work and wanna go to the toilet. But I see like the latch is closed. But the guy is in the room. I knock at the room and ask if he is having somebody with him? A girl maybe... He is saying no girl. And I say if there is a girl in the bathroom, I can offer full refund. Cause I do not serve two people. And what you think... I open the bathroom door. And bathroom is empty.

Sclerosis.

Gosh. I apologized hundred times.

He laughted at me as crazy.

So, Guys I am leaving for a weekend to my boyfriend now. As I had too much stress. Have to have fun now. Cheers. I bet I get 1 star review and finally loose my superhost status)))). Too much responsiility))))
