Amsterdam Byhus - Bycentrum Jim Thorpe Nær Operahuset

It’s disappointing that this lower review came primarily because Cathy brought a second dog that was not disclosed. I provided a good review for her as she and her family were a guests except for the extra dog. I even gave them an extra early check-in with no additional cost. I’m baffled and feel saddened by lower rated review without context.

Thank you Kelsey. It was lovely to have you visit! And hope to see you again.

Thank you Ashmia! I wonder if there’s a typo… I’m not sure what you mean by you don’t have wine experience? Did you try to go to a vineyard? Hope to see you again, and Jim Thorpe is lovely and warmer weather also!

Thank you, Brian! It was lovely to host you and your wife! Hope to see you, in Jim Thorpe, again one day.

William and his family are terrific to host and I highly recommend. Hope they can return to Jim Thorpe again.

Jason, wife and pup are a great family to host. Great communication! Hope they can return again to Jim Thorpe.

Thank you Lindsey. It was lovely to host you and your family. Hope to see you again.

Thank you, Valerie! It was wonderful to host you and your family. I hope to see you again in Jim Thorpe. Happy Holiday's!

Thank you for visiting Jim Thorpe. It was lovely to host you.

It was lovely to host you during your recent stay. I’d like to clarify that the parking is a five minute walk/1 minute drive. Parking is a premium in Jim Thorpe because it was a horse and carriage town. Most people park their cars and don’t need to use them during their stay. Glad you had a nice trip.

I will double check my listing. I’m sorry that was not clear. I do have a first floor apartment that might be better suited with a dog. Thank you for letting me know and glad you have had a good time.

Thank you, Blair for your review. Yes, unfortunately, it is necessary to leave some notes as some guests need an extra reminder…which the next guest ie changing WiFi settings etc. or burning something on the electric glass stove top which can remain very hot for a long period. You are a lovely couple to host. Cheers.

As a well respected host, I request that upon settling in that the guest will ‘confirm that everything in the lodging is to your liking’ During a 3 night stay the only time I heard from this guest was to request a very early check in which given the holiday I was happy to have that flexibility. Then radio silence. I tried to reach them on the VRBO app and then via text—to no avail. So I did telephone them. I have been hosting for 5 years and thankfully never had such an unpleasant experience like this person. I will now make my property 100% non smoking in the backyard as I could see that as soon as let them know about the complaint(s) from my neighbors that their would be attempted retribution. Their dog is very sweet and it was sad to see him constantly pulling on the leash in an aggressive manner. Again, I am grateful that this person is an anomaly/outliar. Ironically, after checking out (again without any confirmation of leaving the parking pass which is easy to forget) he telephoned me… I began the conversation with a sincere appreciation of how tidy they left the suite. He went onto list many complaints… then requested that I mail him the dog bowl and blanket that they thought was left behind. No offer to even pay for postage. Fortunately, they did not leave anything in the apartment. Of course they would’ve sent it back and I would’ve requested that he pay my cleaner for doing that which has happened many times.
