How Ratings are calculated

“An Airbnb host’s overall rating is calculated by averaging the star ratings guests provide across various categories including: cleanliness, accuracy of listing description, communication, check-in ease, location, and overall value, with each category being rated on a scale of 1 to 5 stars; the final overall rating is the average of all these individual category ratings and the guest’s overall experience rating.”

That is completely false. The overall rating is a separate rating. As are all the other ratings. Category ratings are only averaged within that category.
