  • Estimated Repair Cost: $150-300 (professional upholstery cleaning)
  • Photos Needed: Direct overhead, side angle, color reference with white card
  • Insurance Claim Eligible: Yes (accidental damage clause applies)

Professional Guest Response Template: Subject: Your stay from [DATES] - Resolution Proposal

Dear [GUEST NAME],

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We take all guest concerns seriously. [Acknowledge their specific concern]. We've reviewed the [house rules/lease terms] and the photos from the property walkthrough, and we'd like to propose [specific solution]...

Refund Decision Framework: Claim: Wi-Fi outage during stay Validity: Verified (ISP records show 4-hour outage) Impact: Moderate (guest stated work affected) Compensation Offered: 15% refund per night affected (2 nights = $120) Rationale: Documented failure on our part, proportional compensation
