Offer of partial refund for nights we booked out rejected.

Threat of bad publicity and demand for full refund.

Really am sick of bullying guests.

Acting as insurance

2 last minute bookings asking for full refunds.

Feel guilty but our terms are if relet we will refund difference.

We state on intro email about insurance but they don't have it.
