I rated a guest really low on stars for Commuication because, frankly, he was a complete tool. But in my write up I accented the positive (and there were positives, he was really clean and quite) with a couple of carefully worded comments only Airbnb hosts would pick up on. The guy wrote an all five star review.
Never a dull moment
Oh come on, donāt be so cryptic! Share the review! 
I know what the term means but I donāt know what it means, if you know what I mean.
The complaint seems to be related to the personality of the guest. They donāt communicate or arenāt friendly, or what. Maybe the guest is hard of hearing or has a speech impediment or a language processing disorder that makes ācommunicationā tiresome.
Why are you surprised he gave a five star review?
He was just the oddest guy and he had plenty of complaints during his stay, but he gave us all five stars and wrote (cut and paste):
āwell been traveling costa rica and central america 25 years, generally at decent accommodations, has been 3 or 4 that where of great value, jaco, manuel antonio and hereā
His ādo you have recommendations for this host?ā field read:
āread more Shakespeare.ā
Quite the chuckle, had we! 
Let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of hosts. Make dust our paper and with rainy eyes write sorrow on the bosom of the earth.
This must be a reference to something. Do tell.
Thatās pretty funny. Iāve got a feeling Iāve heard it before. The tune sounds familiar.
Though as dating advice goes, itās extremely inaccurate. Iāve never met a woman who gave a toss about poetry. But maybe I was looking in the wrong places. And maybe it was different on Porterās time. Actually, it used to be a cultural trope in the West not that long ago. Authors as different as Jane Austen and Wodehouse give lip service to the notion. So maybe it was a thing, once upon a time.
@Geddy3 - I think Iāve almost hit my max of replies today so Iām using what may be my last one to tell you that you are flippinā hilarious!
Havenāt got a clue - I think he was just trying to be funny. He wasā¦ funny peculiar and funny ha-ha
I have the complete Shakespeare library in the living room of my three-room AirBNB suite. No one has touched them yet!
Damn uncultured Airbnb guests. A plague on their houses!
Strangely, āThe Secrets of Mathematicsā a book to entice children into thinking math is fascinating has been taken off the shelf THREE times.
Lies My Teacher Told Me.
Clean and quiet sounds good to me -
When I was single, I usually ran far away if the fellow shared a poem or recited verse!
Clean and quiteā¦what? (Or, perhaps he meant āquietā.)
When I was in middle school, I had a crush on the handsome ānew kidā in my class.
One day, he came and sat down across from me in the cafeteria, pulled out a folded paper and proceeded to read a poem he wrote about meā¦all romantic stuff. My friends were within listening distance.
I was beyond mortified and never liked him after that.
I was out and about today and came home at 3.00pm after the school run. My guest meets me in the hall to tell he could not use the computer, and needs access to one. He brings me to the guest sitting room and I thought I would see a laptop, but he was pointing to our TV, Then he says, how to I switch on your computer. I could hear my children snigger in the kitchen. The remote control and lack of keyboard, meant nothing, I wonder how long he was trying to switch it on, poor man.
This is the guy in town to invest a half million? And he has no computer? Ugh.
