We did our best to accommodate this guest by allowing them to extend their stay, check in early, and by being patient when they had payment issues, including resending their invoice a second time. During their stay, they did not advised us of any issues or concerns, and we are truly disappointed that even after all that we have done for these guests, they still rated us poorly for no reason at all. As a Premier Host with VRBO, we do not recommend these guests on your homes as they will just be asking and in return will give you a bad review.
