I had a guest rent the house for last Thanksgiving weekend (2017) and the group left the house a mess. Spilled food on the floor left there to dry, general ickiness, and other problems. They made a comment later that they loved the place and would "be back next year," but I made no reply addressing that specifically.
I do not want to host this guest again, but there seems to be no way to block a specific user if they have already rented. In the old messages there is a "Report" link, but that doesn't lead to any "Block" option, from what I can see, like there is with a user who hasn't booked yet.
I wan to keep that weekend available for other guests so I don't want to block those dates completely. I would rather not just allow them to make a request and then decline it, for two resons. For one, declining a request always generates some personal feelings of rejection. Also, declines count against my record and I could eventually lose my Superhost status.
It's much better if my property doesn't even show up on their searches any more. That way it's all graceful and subtle without hurt feelings. How can I specifically block this user?
Thank you for any insight.
