Yeah, but I’m thinking I should wait until the 14 days—right before it expires—because we don’t have any reviews yet (being new), and even if I respond to his probably-negative review, it will just be hanging out there for 10 days as the only (bad) review on our place. I’m assuming he left a defensive, pre-emptive review b/c he was in the wrong about breaking our pet rule.
Or...is it possible he wrote a nice review right away, hoping by doing so, I wouldn’t write something bad about him? Maybe he doesn’t know how it works...and was hoping I’d see his first and decide not to mention his violation in my review of him...?
I’m probably reaching here. He did pay the pet fee right away, but with no apology or explanation. (Not what I would have done—I would have been apologizing up and down.) So chances are, he was mad he got caught so took a critical view of our place, and thereby wrote a critical review. 😞
