Host safety

As a host (going to be ex-host soon) I thought that I would share this with users. Living in SA with our crime rate, booking.com really does not take into consideration the rights of the property owner. One is unable to refuse a booking. Unlike AirBnB (where there are host reviews and guest reviews) one has to accept a booking. One can blacklist a badly behaved guest, but that's very much after the fact. As a single person, the platform is not very helpful in that it doesn't offer protection for the host.
