Sigh. I have just noticed today that airbnb have made more changes.
It now gives potential guests the opportunity to click into hosts highest reviews and lowest reviews.
Ive 2 showing. One I wanted buried forever grrrr

I have just noticed it as well. Couldnāt believe my eyes. The worst review so visible. Are they serious?
Funny thing is my worst review was a girl who wrote me how great I was, then gave me only 3 stars, as the worst review is without stars I am ok. But still, so unfair.

Donāt see that yet here. Are the reviews rated by cumulative stars or overall stars or verbiage?
I thing by the overall rating. It is my only 3stars review.
I definitely like this feature for when I search for listings as a guest. As a host, it was nice that you could have āburiedā bad reviews. Luckily, my only 3 star review was only 10 words long and doesnāt actually say anything bad lol
Iām not seeing it here either, at least not on my phone via the app.
Itās terrible for them to do this!!! What new crap will they think of next?!!!

I donāt see this filter yet either. As a guest I love it. As a host I love it as long as I get good reviews. LOL. My one star review is fabulous so if they sort by low stars they will be reading a fantastic review first. So I guess Iām cool with it. Seriously, the farther in the rearview mirror those reviews are, the more unfair they are.

I listened to it. Blah blah lbah lbha blah blah blah blahā¦
Wants to form a host advisory board - blah blah blah blah blah blah
What was going on in the last part when he was talking about inevitable automation? Is he saying our customer service is soon going to be outsourced to India or the Phillipines?
@Robert_Dudley ā Yeah, go ahead and slap him. He got on my last nerve before he finished his spiel.
Iām thinking that to prepare for his talk, he looked in his closet and said, āIāll wear these soiled pants and the shoes that wonāt lace up.ā
Heās not a good public speaker (super fidgety) and with me having a short attention spanā¦itās not a winning combination. Besides, I suspect he has worms.

My first thought was he needed to take a crap but had to finish his 9 minute spiel first. Then when I heard him sniffle I was wondering if he did a couple lines of coke. Yeah he sure was fidgeting around on that stool. Why not walk around the stage if the stool is too uncomfortable? No pun intended.

Thatās one very 1984ish video. All that talk about community.
do they also show the owner response?
i canāt see this screen ā how do you get to this view? I havenāt noticed it on my listing nor when Iāve been searching as a guest.
I was able to find it on some of my listings, and not find it on others. Maybe if you only have 5 star reviews on that listing you donāt see the lowest?
Wish they would put a time limitā¦ a review from 2014 really isnāt all that valid in 2017.
Like others, most of my lowest reviews have words likeā¦ āNice placeā, āLuxuryā¦all the amenities! Great locationā¦ā, āNo problems at allā, āThe place is clean, roomy,ā
Homeaway/VRBO has almost the same thing for host reviews. You have the ability to filter the reviews by number of stars, and you can see how the overall rating was calculated (is the 4.5 star half 4ās and half 5ās, or 7 fiveās and 1 one). Think Amazon - they do the same, too.
Most guests look for trends in the reviews. A bunch of good ones, then one that says āthey didnāt tell me they had dogsā, when all the other reviews gush how well-behaved the puppies are, tells the reader more about the guest than the host,
So has the bug womanā¦ itās sooooo unfair of them to do this to us. I HATE how obsessed they are about reviews and their importance, when itās so easy for guests to write an unfair or inaccurate or totally untruthful review!
