Thanks Bandara, 😁

I too was excited. 2 years in a row with 9.5. I'll be putting up next to my cork board I have where guests leave me little thank you notes haha. Reminds me I need more pins as the board is getting quite full. Lol

Hi , I have the second bedroom door locked. I also have a single in the main bedroom with the queen. I have just a coverlet on there and no actual bedding. A few cushions. I also have a security camera in the driveway. If more than the number of guests booked arrive they need permission from us to enter the property. I have this in my terms and conditions which are sent as soon as the booking is made and paid for. Like a back up plan in case they haven't read my rules on their booking form. So far so good. I only leave one towel per guest also. They can ask for more if a longer stay is happening.

I'd like to know too. The other day I got a website booking and noticed that my BDC hadn't closed/blocked the dates so I did it manually . Couldn't afford to take a chance.

Curious. How do you verify a card without charging it? I have a lot of guests who use a debit card which doesn't necessarily have any funds.

Guests who leave no comments does not allow a response to the incorrect public feedback. OR the obvious that they are perhaps leaving a review on a totally different property from the night before or after their stay. Both of the above comments are correct. Many guests don't even read what they book and assume. Example: my last guest asked if I supply bedding? Of course I do. She admitted she hadn't read my listing nor my emails about entering the property for access. Then reviews with what is obviously stated I don't have listed. This is neither helpful to future guests or warming up to me for when she asked if she could return in future. I certainly think that a host should be able to respond to a review of any sort as this is our livelihood. Mine anyway
