Hello @Rachel1472
Totally agree with you! I try and be as flexible as possible but there are certain times of the year where I have to put my listing with a firmer policy to avoid last minute cancellations ie. during the Cannes Film Festival and other big events that occur in our town as the clientele is mostly international and they book months in advance so the chances of rebooking with a 5 day cancellation policy are next to nil.
I wish we had a choice of a 2 week cancellation policy as currently hosts have a choice of 5 days or 30 days with nothing in between.
