Hello, we had a BnB in Deland, Florida. I had the same thing happened to me. The guy booked regularly on Airbnb 2 nights. Everything was great and yes, I wrote a great review. 1 month later he booked with us again. I realised his credit card had an issue. As he was a nice guy and had great reviews I told him to go ahead and come. He promised me, that he will contact Airbnb and straitened it out .. and if there still would be a problem, that he would pay me cash…
The next day he didn’t come down for breakfast … so around 9 am, I went to knock at his door. He was gone without paying. I informed Airbnb.
So yes, never ever let somebody stay when there is an issue with credit cards …. Unfortunately it happened. Don’t forget, the majority of our guests 99.99% are just great…. but don’t let the bad people full you because you do not deserve it .
Greetings Nicole
