I understand you are concerned about the first guest leaving after 2 days of a 7 day stay. typically if the guests have good cause/reason for leaving they will receive their monies back for unused nights. But of course, it all depends on why. BUT - Some plan to only stay 2 nights but you offer such a super discounted deal with 7 nights they book that and just think its the cheap way out. Often times its a mystery I'm sure.
I would really suggest you begin to read everything on the Airbnb platform to learn all about hosting and what things mean. Like the Moderate Cancellation policy - make sure to understand it.
Please ignore this next section if you just don't want to read it/ not what you want to hear about/ but I offer it as friendly hosting assistance cause its my mission that every host thrive and we do that by learning, hearing feedback and finding ways to improve on what we do.
I know you asked about the guests leaving/and getting a negative review on the first of your guests. The big question is why did they leave - family emergency? or did they feel uncomfortable in the house? That is where you can do a lot to improve and help your hosting and make sure others know what to expect and are just fine, because they are clear with their expectations.
looking at your listing and I see some areas where you can do some improvement and it will help with hosting and guests Expectations - that's what it is all about. If they expect XYZ and arrive and its ABCD instead they will be unhappy and wish to leave and they will find a way and work to be compensated.
Also, I would suggest you check your listing as it shows some things that might not be what you mean them to be : example it says Smoking is allowed - many will not come because you allow smoking, but you wrote us you don't allow smoking but do allow vaping. that's confusing and will detour many guests I think.
also, I would suggest you read many other listings and change up yours as its written totally Owner centric - Not Guest centric - its nice you write like you talk but often guests don't want to read a lot and they will miss what you are trying to tell them. When a listing has all the "I" about everything its about the owner - perhaps switch it to "You" will enjoy your own room/ locked and also have access to the kitchen, etc. Guests want to imagine staying there, help them do that.
You mention other guests??
Who are they sharing the bathroom with?? In a big house - I would feel like I'm in YOUR Space but allowed to venture around - that would be weird for many people.
Guests don't care about your time schedule exactly. Instead, Say I work from home, or my office is set up in the living room...which is just a little strange Jon, cause I don't imagine people want to be tiptoeing around you working. You see, people want to travel, have a space where they belong that is private, clean, secure & welcoming. You can offer that but you will want to make it all about The Guest - I hope this makes sense and I get it if you don't want to hear any of this but, its meant as help nothing else.
As I see it Jon, I wouldn't feel comfortable in your house as I look and read about it - I would question if there is space for me as a guest or that I would disturb your routine. And you say I'd be sharing the bathroom with possible other guests? As a guest I need to know exactly what to expect - That's how I experience your listing and you can fix any of it to turn it all around. I wish you the best. Keep us posted on the outcome with your first guest.
Happy Hosting, Clara
