Asking for freebies

Post by andilubio »

Hi, last night got an enquiry for two weeks which sounded nice. The thing is in the comment section the man asks for "2-3 days for free", just like that...

He says it would work out because the group would be getting in/out in different dates.

I´m not sure if he saw that we normally book from saturday to saturday but on that occasion we start a booking on monday, and thought of taking advantage of that...

Thoughts? and what would your response be?

I don't restrict booking to Saturday to Saturday and often have enquires for dates that would lead to short empty periods if converted. I would offer these unbookable nights for a reduced price or free if I thought the booking was worth it and it would close the deal.
