Marked down for location

Marked down for location

Anybody else hate being marked down for location? I can't do anything about it and it's clearly visible when people book!

 

If people want a great location then they should expect to pay more as this is part of why I rent my room cheaply!

 

Sorry rant over just annoying when get a 4 star with no real explanation of why and marked down for something I cannot control and account for in pricing 😞

Hello @James5062 

 

A few minutes ago I left a reply for @Carolina2547 who posted with a similar issue and agree with you!  This location criteria can be so frustrating when guests mark us down for some unknown reason - church bells in the case of Carolina or because they weren't in the center of town but didn't want to pay 30% to 40% more for being in the very heart of town!  

They know exactly where they have booked now from day 1 so yes I feel for you James but there's not a lot we can do and very few people are able to maintain a 5* for location which is why some hosts would love this criteria to be removed from our ratings.
