One of the many problems with Airbnb is that a host can tack on crazy requirements and you're blackmailed into doing them for fear of getting ding'd your Airbnb rating.
In a perfect world, there's be some sort of "rights" as a guest where hosts couldn't demand the customer do so much cleaning or at least only make a guest clean if there's no cleaning fee.
- nikau 4y agoYep I've skipped giving feedback on a place that was very misrepresented because I know they would probably provide bad feedback in retaliation. There should be escrow for the feedback - its not published until both parties provide feedback or the 7 day window is passed. It should also be impossible to search for previous feedback a user has left, rather only see their overall score.
- kioleanu 4y agoThis used to be the case when we used Airbnb a few years ago. Is it no longer so?
- nikau 4y agoI recall being able to view guest reviews around 3 years ago when I last used airbnb. A quick google shows complaints of dodgy hosts who do a "snipe" nasty review just before the feedback window ends if the guest has not left a review.
