My list of everything that could upset guests

[Tim209]

Alright, here’s my list of everything that could upset guests. What did I miss?

1. The property was not as described

2. Uncomfortable beds/sheets/pillows

3. Noisy (A/C unit, road noise, refrigerator, neighbors) lead to poor sleeping conditions

4. Guests run out of stuff – toilet paper / paper towel / etc.

5. Expected items are not there like tv or internet

6. Things that don’t work such as an advertised hot tub

7. Couldn’t access property

8. Worn out stuff

9. No instructions about what to do with trash

10. Insufficient outdoor seating – guests don’t want to carry the sofa outside

11. Construction noise or inconvenience

12. Neighbor issues

13. Poor communications with the host – either before, after, or during – “there was a major problem during my stay and the owner didn’t answer my calls”

14. Terrible or no WiFi

15. Vacation rental location deception

16. Too many rules

17. Lack of privacy

18. No refund with no explanation

19. And my personal favorite - no plunger

haha, and 'you should provide a hairdryer'     (esp as there was one in unit she just didn't look! )

add to list   "you don't provide clingwrap for leftover food.'     odd since the cupboard had many plastic containers all perfect for leftovers!  Also strange since I had gone to LOTS of tyrouble for these Guests, finding cheaper rentacar options, sourcing a high chair and cot blankets sheets etc, and they gave me 5 stars!     Also odd since plastic clingwrap so environmentally unfriendly!

I have a staircase to the first floor. To get to that staircase

You have to open a door. If You do so, the lightswitch for

the first floor gets covered by the door, as this is a corner

situation.

When guest were checking out,  I turned on said lightswitch

and then opened the door to the staircase.

Guest says: Oh, there's the lightswitch for the first floor.

So they walked up that staircase in darkness for a whole week.

I have a house that sleeps 10 and I'm renting for 15 years.

4000+ guests could find the switch, they couldn't. I'm not

making this up, it happened today.

my home was once 'hard to find.'  The guests used google maps..... but the house was 'hard to find.'

You can't make this stuff up.

''the garden was lively''

I'm not even sure what that means.

[Sarah977]

@Sandra126  Maybe they meant to write "lovely"?  Or lively meaning colorful? Or else they saw a lot of ants, bees and butterflies in it.

[Sandra126]

@Sarah977, interesting, didn;t think they might have mistyped. I assumed they had perhaps been kept awake by wildlife in my lively garden or seen something disturbing. Can't control nature. I will now think of it as ''lovely''. Thank  you.

Right in the city center.

Address is not found on Google Maps. 

My listing - private house with yard got a lower rating due to the reasons above.
