Guest compensation
Compensation is a commercial decision. It should be proportionate to the disruption you can evidence, not to the tone of the message asking for it.
Scope the disruption
HostCase builds the chronology so the case reflects the nights actually affected and the remedy actually provided, instead of the whole stay as claimed.
Keep the review out of it
When a request is tied to a review threat, the draft reply deals with the service issue and does not negotiate over the review.
Consistency across a portfolio
Operator plans let you load your own approval limits and goodwill rules, so the same situation gets the same answer whoever handles it.
Gather these before you reply or escalate.
