I have noticed that quite a few of us hosts hesitate to come out with a straightforward, negative review, even if we feel like it. Also, some of us can go a bit overboard with too many details in a bad review, which renders it mostly ineffective, and it says more about the host than about the reviewed guest.
So I am still looking for good, short phrases that say it all... Luckily I never felt the need so far, but my day may come. The one time I had a "bad" guest, I didn't really deal with it, I just didn't post a review. Now I would, primarily as a signal to my fellow hosts - we need to help eachother!
So I know about. "......... may be better suited for a hotel stay" . That is a classic!
Not sure if the "neat and tidy" is a compliment or a coded description for an uptight guest.
I'd just like to add : "Unfortunately, our listing was not a good match for ........'s needs".
What other gentle codes
