Difficult guests don't just appear out of nowhere. They announce themselves through their booking patterns, through their communication and through their behavior. There's some very common patterns that pop up time and time again that help us identify bad guests before they check into our property. The very first one, check your guests prior reviews. Sometimes it's just written right there in plain sight. They're not a good guess. The second red flag, incomplete profile. The third red flag is inconsistent or no communication at all. Fourth red flag is if they're just sharing way too much information up front. The fifth red flag if they're asking just a ton of questions, just really verifying the minute details with everything. What sort of cleaning chemicals do you use? What color light bulbs do you have in the bedside lamps? Stop being a victim of bad guests and start being a master of how to spot these red flags to spot these difficult guests before they check in your property.
