i would probably spank them, but thereâs far too much interest in that.

Question though - when I read that so-and-so is recommended by xx hosts, am I right in thinking that so-and-so received xx thumbs up?
For example, I had a guest recently who had 16 reviews and was recommended by 12 hosts. (I forget the exact numbers but something like that). I didnât read all the reviews but I assumed that it meant that of the 16 people who had reviewed him, four had given him a thumbs down. (And that percentage is okay with me).
Therefore, correct me if Iâm wrong, assuming thatâs correct wouldnât the fact that not every previous host had given the guest a thumbs up would be a warning?
Thatâs my assumption.
It can also mean they stayed with the same host more than once. For example, the guest I posted about in my thread on reading reviews currently has 22 reviews and 15 recommendations. Those 22 reviews are from 20 different hosts. I canât recall if we can skip the thumbs?
Since I cancelled on her she has 3 more reviews, 2 are good, one is from a host who canceled her before she arrived. It appears that sheâs gotten a thumbs up even from the host who canceled her because she has 3 more reviews and 3 more recommended by numbers.
Honestly I might have gone ahead and hosted her the one night had I not had guests arriving for a 4 night booking the next day. I wasnât willing to take the chance that she wouldnât leave on time, leave me a mess and I wouldnât be able to get the room ready in time. I have hosted other guests that werenât recommended by 100% of their past reviewers and they were fine.
As an aside, one would think this woman would learn from the multiple complaints and change her behavior. Then again she might not be right in the head. I really donât understand the multiple Airbnbs. She has been in El Paso since April, some hosts sheâs stayed with multiple times. At the average rate sheâs paying she could stay at the extended stay hotel near me for less. Maybe she sometimes sleeps in the car? Iâm thankful that hosts reviewed her honestly and I now have her blocked.
Good point, I hadnât thought of that.
Yes, Iâm currently facing a ton of verbal abuse and harassment from a guest and Airbnb wonât do anything about it. Itâs unreal.
