I’ve gotten some “Thanks so much for the prompt and detailed response” messages and it didn’t occur to me that it was because other hosts ghost them, I just thought it was because they were polite, appreciative people with good manners.
I guess I don’t have to feel so remiss if I’ve been powerwashing or weedeating and didn’t hear my message alert until a couple hours after it was sent.
I’m curious- if you look on the listings of these hosts who never send a message back acknowledging your booking, does it say “within an hour” by their response time?
