Reasonable expectations for long-term stays
Team, I don’t know how to review a guest. I thought it would be a 5 but now I am not so sure. Please note I rented my primary residence for a month while I am unemployed and guest agreed that my personal belongings would remain, so it wasn’t a hotel situation. I ASSUMED that knowing it’s not a hotel situation, guest would clean as if they were home. Is this something I should confirm before accepting a booking?
These are the items that are pmo:
- He ruined 4 of my teflon and ceramic pans with scratches, and I have seen consensus on this channel that this is cost of doing business, but what if he ruined the Airfryer basket too? I had silicon utensils for this reason. My airfryer was spotless, I wish I could post pics
- He put wet dishes away, I don’t know how often he did that but the cast iron pan rusted away and stained the white cabinet. Who puts away wet dishes and doesnt know cast iron needs to be dried????
- The tub - lord, the tub. I have hosted for 5 years and I have never ever seen it like this. It’s literally a black ring halfway up. I don’t know how this could be accomplished, I don’t even have a stopper to bathe. I don’t think I ever got a tub nearly as dirty even when I have not cleaned it for 3 months
Reasons I hesitate:
- I wasn’t ready when he booked right after I listed. We agreed check in would be 7pm and I was still cleaning when he arrived. He seemed very understanding and even reiterated he cleans every place again because he is ocd
-He allowed me to go back in 2x to get personal items I needed
-I am unemployed and did this sublet to save money but I am not allowed
Should I say nothing and rate him a 5, say something about the air fryer and tub but rate him a 5 still, rate him a 4 and mention the items above, or not rate and ask him to replace my Air fryer basket?
