A lot of trip requests that don’t meet booking requirements

Maybe reduce guest number to two, or make the extra person charge much higher. Or put in the listing that the temporary price reflects a holiday surcharge that will be refunded if there’s no damage. Then you’ll rent to someone who really reads the listing. I can see that new people who in the past might have gone to a club for the holiday now think it’s best to go have a quiet evening in the woods with some snow and champagne.

Exactly. It’s been quite busy up here because less folks are flying or going out in the city and instead are doing drivable getaways that are a bit more secluded. Which reminds me I need to get a bottle of champagne (for us lol)

If they are Inquiries not Booking Requests, do not Decline. Just reply (response rate) with 24 hours and much sooner if possible, “Sorry we are not a good fit (child safety”. Or “Thank you for your inquiry”. Anything at all is a RESPONSE, if it is an Inquiry.
