Just received a review on google.

The person that left the review never stayed at our Chambre D’Hôte.
Is there anything I can do to remove it or should I just ignore it.
We have been closed due to Covid 19

Would appreciate any advice.

Thank you for your reply and advice. I have the same feeling,we are very small business and surprised they got in touch.
Bookings are difficult this year but we have had a late surge for August so we might do well.

I think I will ignore as we don’t need the hassle.
Thank you 😊

The annoying thing they can cancel up to 7 days before. I always block booking before I accept a private booking in ca...
