Try to get their review removed
Iāve found that those receiving a massive discount seem to make the worst guests.
In a home share, guests need to be compliant. You canāt have guests walking around buck naked, doing what they wilt in the bathroom, or frying eggs at 3 am. You lose that element of freedom. So the Rules Buckers can mark you down for being too strict.
However, more cities are insisting on owner occupied accommodation. We shall see.
I found this host again and he is definitely insulting in his response to reviews. Itās much harder to go find his reviews so I didnāt look at many but the ones I saw were nice and short. Maybe he has figured out that guests read their reviews but not the response to reviews and so are unlikely to complain.
