[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We stayed in one recently that was disappointing (musty smelling, kitchen not very clean, bathroom faucets really wobbly and worried they would fall off). It also wasn't clear in the listing that it was their house so there was personal stuff everywhere, clothes in the dressers, etc. It was also very expensive relative to other places in the location, but not worth the premium.

The owner reached out before we checked out to ask that we not leave any 4s, because it takes too long for them to recover from that. So I didn't leave a review. I felt kind of bad about that because all their reviews are stellar and now we know why. We were fooled by them. But again it wasn't terrible, just not what we expected for the price (and we've stayed in 2 other Airbnbs in this location that were nicer for half the price so have local market comparisons).[/quote]

You whould have left the 4 and been helpful to other potential renters.[/quote]

Yes, it takes them "too long to recover"? WTH? They aren't putting money in the property and they like a steady stream of renters but they charge a premium and get 5s for crap??? They need to price it fairly and get fair 5 stars for what you get. That way everyone has their expectations in check. Why do they get a pass to keep renting out a crap house at premium?[/quote]

I mean I’ve left 4 stars for some sub ratings at places I’d be happy to go back to[/quote]

What they probably mean is they aren't eligible as a superhost without close to a 5 review. One cancellation or one 4 in one category can set someone back months trying to get back to a 4.8 or whatever you need to be a superhost. [/quote]
