AirBnB has created a prisoner's dilemma review process. If you have a fairly bad host, but don't leave a bad review and they do, you are penalized by not having any appeal.
I wonder if the dilemma is on both sides (I think it is), meaning hosts are actually incentivised to leave bad reviews on their patrons _if they are a bad host_ as a means of defense.
We had a similar experience to this article where the host left a fabricated negative review.
- ttyprintk 4y agoInteresting take. The disincentive for a host lying in a review is not compelling-enough. The AinBnb review becomes a record of sentiment, rather than of any use to a third party interested in being a guest. You’ll have to go to a different site to get away from that incentive.
