I received a review today that had a lot more detailed feedback for each specific item (location, value, cleanliness, etc).
It looks like the reviews appear different than they used to on the listings page as well. They now show an actual breakdown of how many 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 star reviews you’ve received, rather than a summary.
What do you think about this change? Good or bad for hosts?
OMG, I want to slap her silly lol!
Just love how these guests who have never hosted a day in their lives can give feedback that is just ridiculous!
Can we leave the same feedback?
What the Host loved about Tracy:
“her payment and seeing her leave”
Cleanliness feedback:
“See your endocrinologist, it’s not normal to leave that much hair in the sink, shower, floors, just everywhere!”
Location feedback:
“I hope Tracy never visits this location again”
I’m in El Paso. I was there last November for the Patty Griffin concert at the Kimo but my friend wasn’t quite ready for the Airbnb experience so we stayed at the Andaluz.
It looks like that location category was removed? I checked my reviews and mine just shows cleanliness, accuracy, and communication. Overall experience and location did not appear.
Anything is possible. I believe the absurdity of having a location category was pointed out by a few of us lately, because it is a ‘pre-condition’, meaning it is decision a guest made before they even booked, namely it is beyond the control of the host.
And it dissappeared. If Airbnb doesn’t read these boards, what others would they read?
I am sure they read all forums pertaining to their business. I read that board also religiously, haven’t seen much written on that subject of late, but in all likelihood it has come up because - it is an absurdity.. They do not tend to last in business.
