Is Booking.com a good platform to use for hosts?
I just signed up for Booking.com and got my first reservation within a week and turned out they were a bad guest. The guest had brought additional guests than they listed on the reservation, doesn't respond to my messages/concerns, left my front door wide open when they left. I was trying to find host reviews about booking.com but couldn't find any. I guess only guests can leave reviews for the property but there's no option (that I see) for hosts to leave guest reviews like AirBnB. It also takes longer for me to receive my payment where AirBnb and Vrbo payout almost immediately.
Any pros/cons or advise/suggestions on booking.com??? Should I keep my listing on there? Or is this a bad platform for hosts?
Thanks!

I was on booking.com a few years ago and didn't book much through there. Then I started to hear horror stories such as yours and pulled my listings off the platform. I focus on VRBO/Expedia Group, Airbnb and direct bookings.
