Couple of months back, I deleted a couple of listings that will never be used again, and with it went a 2star review (TV didn’t work). My rating went from 4.8 to 4.9, NOICE! 
But last night I noticed I’m 4.8 again, the 2star review is back.
Is that how it is now?
In my thread about 2 reviews equalling 4.64 I have added several new issues with stars being inaccurate and changing seemingly randomly… I bet it’s the same for yours. Give it time.

They are clearly tweaking the review display. I just read someone’s profile with 3 reviews but there is a zero by their name as if they have no reviews.

They are really messing with the display lately.
Yesterday, I was looking at one of my listings, as a guest, and it had the numbers correct “31 reviews (5.0)” but underneath the ratings, it says “92% of ratings were 5-stars” (or something like that), which clearly doesn’t make any sense. I don’t have any unwritten or un-received reviews for that listing so it’s not a 4.0 hiding in the closet, either.
I did what I usually do when things don’t make sense on the page - I refreshed the page. lol.
And that’s when it got really weird. The note changed to “96% of ratings were 5-stars” BUT it said it in Spanish. So now the percentage and the language changed. I continued to refresh the page (I’m easily amused) and each time it gave a different percentage of 5-stars and also a different language. It was all-over the place.

@JJD, I’ve seen the language change to Spanish when viewing in-private/incognito.
My listing currently says “19 recent guests said this place was sparkling clean.” Sometimes it uses a percentage for whatever rating it’s calling out, but it has rarely been 100%. What I concluded, is that the numbers/percentages sometimes include guests that did not leave a review or rating because the numbers came out correctly if I factored them in, but this could be a bad assumption on my part. I also can’t figure out what “recent” actually means. I.e. the number 19 doesn’t come out to be anything straightforward like all reviews in the last 6 months, etc.

@Brian_R170 Yeah, that’s at the top of the listing. I have that too! It seems to be based on the “compliments” that guests give when they do reviews. Mine seem to add up to those; however, “recent” does seem a little arbitrary.
But what I was referring too was at the Reviews section, above the star ratings for different categories but below the overall rating. I haven’t seen it today. It appeared with different percentages and a wide variety of languages.

If mine would change to Spanish, that would be an improvement. Unfortunately Japanese, Korean, and French are not languages I can read and those are the languages I am most likely to see lately.

This is a good one. This is from the message stream with a guest, their profile info on the left hand side. Only the name of the country (United States) changes languages when I refresh the page. It was in Chinese and also French at one point. I didn’t think to screenshot until it became Spanish and then it went back to plain old english.
Same guest a few minutes later:

Mixing English and other languages on the same page, awesome!

I saw it for the first time yesterday as well.
Now I know how to write Chula Vista, California in… uh… wait, I don’t even know what language it is.

I’m still getting all of that too. If you refresh the page, it changes to other languages! My favorite is when the languages mixed, like Rhode Island, Estados Unidos
I got an IB yesterday from a guy in Asheville, Carolina du Nord!

I love that Airbnb informs us that the guest is not a mute. He or she speaks!

Yes, what a bonus that is!

I had this exact situation with a new reservation that came in this morning. Went from “Montana” to characters, nothing under the speaks segment.
This is a good one! I think it’s Portugese?
