Oh, I thought they did a double unlock. I.e. waiting for both reviews to be finished before publishing either.
- milkshakes 1y agothat is exactly what they do
- apwell23 1y agoso if i don't review my host, my host's review of me gets stuck in a limbo? i don't think so. I've seen reviews from hosts that i haven't reviewed.
- milkshakes 1y agothere's a two week window in which reviews are accepted, after which the reviews are released. https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/13 https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/13

- mmmBacon 1y agoMaybe they do now. I have only left 2 mixed reviews. One when the place they rented was not the one showed in photos. The people weren’t allowed to rent in their building and this was not something that was advertised. This meant none of the building’s amenities were available to us despite being advertised. I ended up getting dinged somehow. I thought maybe they could see the review by a 2nd account or something. Could be wrong.
- poisonarena 1y agoits always been double unlock
- enjo 1y agoAs an occasional host we always wait until the guest writes a review. Our goal is to basically never have a guest write a review so we don't write them hoping they just forget. If we write one they get an email telling them that we did and really pushing them to review. Our place is all five star reviews and there is very little benefit for further five star reviews. So it's kind of all risk for us at this point when someone does review.
- bambax 1y agoYeah well, the main talent required for being a host on Airbnb isn't to host well, it's to manage reviews well. Reviews should have an expiration date, because places age and wear out; I'm not interested in learning about the experience of someone from five years ago, I'd like to know how it was last week.
