Please settle the matter. Deadline for review

I think the host wants to leave a negative review and not have the guest leave any review. It makes a big difference because no review is not a negative review. Sometimes folks who were not going to leave a review, leave one once they know that you have and the second they do they can read it.

There was obviously a typo in this earlier message: “Then, you add 14 days * 24 hours * 3600 seconds” :confounded:.

This party girl guest… do you have a name? Number? Any photos??

PM me. I won’t post her full photo and info in public.

I wasn’t being serious :slight_smile: :wink:

I just thought a ‘Party Girl’ might lighten the mood after such a long and mentally taxing thread…

@smartbnb.io Hi Smart … I checked your finding, and it does not appear to be true in my case. I checked the time stamp of the email about creation of a review. Given below are the details

  1. Email about creation of review : September 14, 2018, 04:48 hrs, Eastern Time
  2. Email about 2 days left for review : September 25, 2018, 04:48 hrs, Eastern Time

So, as per your finding, my “Write Review” should have disappeared at Sept 27, 2018, 04:48 hrs, Eastern Time. BUT it hasn’t yet and its 01:48 hrs Eastern Time on Sept 28, 2018. Has anything changed?

Hi there!

One of the things that is definitely not changing is that the reviews are opened for 14 days, ie, for 1,209,600 seconds.

If you add 14 days to the creation of the review, you will arrive at September 28, 04:48 ET, which is the time when the review will expire.

So your review will expire on September 28, 14 days exactly after the review was created.

I suspect the “2 days left” is just AirBnB trying to push you to do something. If they send the email out at 72 hours before the review period ends, you will have less than three full days by the time you read it - so they call it two days. If they call it three days, last-minute people woyld miss the deadline.

Hey Pierre! I haven’t seen you here for ages. (Okay, I might have missed your posts?) Good to hear from you :slight_smile:

I have spoken to Air about this and confirm that the following is correct. Your time to review is exactly 14 days from your check out time. In my case this is 11am, so if I think I am going to get a poor review I put in my google calendar to do the review at 11am on the 14th day. I get a reminder at 10.50 and I write the review. If the guest has already written their’s then I post my review at this time and if their’s is negative then hopefully in the last 2 weeks I will have had some positive ones and this one will be a few down in the list.

If they haven’t written their review I sit on the laptop, when the clock turns 10.59 I post my review. So far it has worked every time, in as much as no one has reviewed me in the less than 60 seconds they have got to do it.
