Revealing the review rate for properties sounds like a very good idea. I wonder if there are any downsides.
On a related note, I was talking with an airbnb host yesterday who had just hosted some fairly messy guests that may or may not have broken something. He decided that not leaving a review was the best course of action. It seems that revealing the review rate could work both ways (for hosts and guests).

Guests and hosts will now worry about keeping their review rates above some threshold, and feel the pressure to write some kind of review. The original pressure to not leave negative reviews still exists. I mean, I don't know if there's a solution to this. I remember a long time ago, when I bought and sold on eBay, that I rarely gave negative feedback. Just to avoid the retaliatory feedback from the other party.
