Update: I reached her way via message around 7:30 pm to say we had made other plans for the evening and she wrote back. She said she passed through the city instead of staying overnight and apologized for her lack of communication about it.

She hit me up Friday asking for a Monday host at my place. She had 7 references. I did not see the request till Saturday but we chatted Saturday, and I agreed to host Monday. Even gave very elaborate and extensive answers to her questions about possible trick-or-treating locations for her son since they are on the road.

She said Monday morning that travel plans changed and asked about Tuesday.

I was down. Said yes, I can do that. Asked for an arrival time / dinner pref.

Today I changed the guest room bedding, made them a guest basket (towels, water bottles, small gift bag) and planned dinner for her and her son.

Asked her around 7 am today for an arrival time.

Today…she ghosted.

Is this common? Literally my first time being ghosted by a potential guest and did not expect it from someone with 7 reviews.
