Hi @konacoconutz,
What proportion of 5 stars and thumbs up? And how do you know that?

I could be wrong but I have heard that about the stars? Maybe itās not in the US. Anyway, at the very least, you can choose not top take them if they got thumbs down from anyone. See below.
Very different than having all 5 stars though. Who knows what this means in real life. They āainātā telling.
So this guest smoked indoors at BOTH places. She told both hosts she was just burning candles?? I didnāt realize people purchased cigarette scented and cannibis scented candles. Is that what she was saying? - the odor you were smelling was coming from a candle?
Did you and the other host (she stayed with first) not have āno -smokingā checked off on your listing? I imagine you did since you told her to stop.
OK. I will take one for the team, and I donāt have instant book. Anyone else care to volunteer to report back what their Air rep. says? I am in U.S. and the hold is not long when I call. I always just say I have a āgeneralā question so no need to look up my account info.
Be back soonā¦
I appreciate the offer, cabinhost, but you donāt have to do that. But if you do, call them three times, and listen to them give you three different answers.
In the meantime, Iāll just amuse myself reciting āThe Charge of the Light Brigadeā.
No, I wonāt call three times in a row because they probably document why I called. But I do usually ask the same questions over and over again once a month if I have an issue. Then I get at least three different answers over time.
Soā¦rep. put me on hold because she didnāt know if it was a percentage. She came back on saying it was. I gave her the example of 4 people giving thumbs down, and 6 people giving thumbs up. She said they could instant book.
Then I asked what message the guest receives if they try to instant book with too many thumbs down. She said she ābelievesā it either says ādates are unavailableā or a message saying āyou donāt meet the hosts requirements.ā She said they are always playing with the site thoughā¦so not sure.
Then I asked about stars and if guest can figure out what stars we gave them (like we can with our stats) - she said āyes.ā
The reps sometimes make something up if it sounds good or to get you off the phone! Truth! Believe it!
Yes, yes! Thatās why I want a few others to call to compare. They will see if I just called and then asking the exact same questions.
