Suspicious Booking requests

[Nancy2174]

Is anyone else getting suspicious bookings from teenagers during spring break that “want to get away”? I decibed ine and immediately got another similar request from 2 teen boys.

You can choose to only book with people who have reviews @Nancy2174 

I live close to Yale, and the students think they can get away with telling me they are having a retreat.

So, when I think they are up to having a party.  I ask, and they say no, of course, then I ask how many people will be here. Remember, they have already filled out the request saying 10, but tell me not everyone is sleeping there, so maybe up to 14. Then I ask the ages. Once that happens. I just tell them I am not comfortable, and if they still want to book and I find out more people are there, I will be at that door, and they will lose their money and have to leave.

Works every time.

Thanks @Yvette65 .  I have been  googling reading and searching for answers and so much comes up about age discrimination.   I love your approach.   They sure didn’t like answering a lot of questions. 
Best to you!
