[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW I’ve left bad reviews on Airbnb that never publish. Sometimes you get a fab spot and others are beyond disgusting yet have great reviews- the space I rated low smelled like cat urine and damp.

It used to be a great way to travel. Less expensive and more homey.

I feel old writing this. [/quote]

This - I don't risk it with AirBNB no matter the rating because of all the stories about how it was locked after their stay and they couldn't add/change a rating. I feel like people give better ratings than reality because they want good ratings as guests. [/quote]

This. I've had two bad experiences and didn't even bother with a review. One was at a Virginia ski resort and the host was constantly trying to come in the house when we were there. We are a quiet family with 2 kids who are very neat. He was weird and annoying and had perfect reviews. Every appliance had problems and there were notes all over the place that we couldn't use this or that. The place was dirty. [/quote]

Why didn’t you write a review then?!

because it was obvious the review process is crap. He had nothing but glowing reviews with false claims. People praised features that didn't exist. He had cameras inside the house including one bedroom that we covered up. It was clear many if not most of the reviews were fake. [/quote]

+1. This.  We had an apartment that had a major problem with one of its toilets.  The owner offered us 20 pct off on the condition we didn’t post any of that information in that review (and this was through the Airbnb system, so clearly the AirBnB management must know that accurate reviews are sometimes being disincentivized.)[/quote]
