Through so many stays, I've come to learn what makes a great Airbnb guest experience. I've learned to carefully look at all of a listing's pictures, read past guest reviews, and ask hosts questions about the listing. I'm willing to pay more if a listing feels exceptional, but unfortunately, I've experienced many that fell short of my expectations.

I once stayed in an Airbnb in New York with lightning-fast Wi-Fi speeds and a strong connection that covered every corner of the apartment. I continuously book that Hell's Kitchen listing whenever I return to New York City, but unfortunately, that's not always the case. I hope more Airbnb hosts will consider fast Wi-Fi a top priority amenity.

I've been using Airbnb a lot recently and always leave a review for the host and the place. I've noticed a new trend when hosts are not leaving reviews at all. Hosts message me and say that the place is left sparkling clean and thank me for your stay, but never leave any reviews.

I thought it was a vital part of the Airbnb experience because it helps with future rentals. In my opinion, there should be a stricter policy in place for hosts violating the rules of reviewing. Is Airbnb doing anything to motivate or follow up with hosts that are not habitually leaving any reviews?

Discussing issues privately between hosts and guests does not serve to warn guests looking to stay at a listing of potential issues at a listing. Nor does discussing things privately serve to warn hosts of problem guests who may have caused damage or partied.

@Hazel42 I agree that it's lazy of hosts not to bother to review guests. But what do you want Airbnb to sort out- you think that hosts should be forced to leave a review? Personally, I think there's enough hoops we have to jump through without having Airbnb penalizing us if we don't leave review (BTW, I review all my guests).

I don't know if you've ever done this yourself, but when I look at reviews, I often look to see if a host reviews their guests or not. There are hosts who have lots of reviews from guests, yet never reciprocate- they never or seldom leave a review-what another poster on this forum refers to as a "serial non-reviewer". If it's important to you to have reviews as a guest, I'd maybe check to see if a host leaves reviews before booking. If they don't, it's unlikely they'll leave one for you, even if you ask nicely.

I do understand it takes time to write a review. But on the other hand, i think hosts should take it as custom service. It takes time from me too; first im answering questions about details of apartment (was there parking place, steps, is it easy to reach with wheelchair, how was kitchen equipment...)

For me it has never been about the time but more about guests not understanding how Airbnb's review system is put together. My own experience is that most Europeans (unless they are very young /used to using Uber, internet platforms etc.) then there is a very big chance that they don't know that leaving less than a full plate of 5 stars will ruin the host's stats. Airbnb expects a full plate of 5 stars from all hosts no matter the budget the host got. The requirements from Airbnb is 4,7 and up.

I know that many hosts felt that the 50% review requirement was unfair, but, without this, I think AirBNB risks becoming just like every other platform. Another piece of the "community" ethos has been removed.

@Susan151 I, for one, will continue to review all my guests, as I have in the past. I certainly never understood the 50% review requirement- I can't see how one can be rated on someone else's behavior. It would have made way more sense to rate hosts on the % of reviews they leave for guests, rather than the other way around, and I'd not mind be rated on that. I hope you're wrong, and that hosts will continue to review, as it helps other hosts.

I have to say I've been lucky- I had a 100% review rate- all my guests in the past year left a review, which I gather is somewhat unusual. Before that, since I started hosting, I think only 2 guests didn't bother to leave a review. But that high review rate may have something to do with me letting guests know that hosts got rated on the % of reviews that were submitted for them.

It's only a matter of time until the ability to review guests is removed completely. The vast majority of guests (even great ones!) hate the prospect of being reviewed by hosts - they go on holiday to chill, not to be critiqued as soon as they depart - and hosts leaving petty, nit-picky reviews of their guests for the silliest of things, hasn't done us any favours either.

More crucially, of course, is the fact that guests with bad reviews - well, those who haven't twigged yet that they can simply close their sullied account, and open a shiny fresh new one - will struggle to have their bookings accepted by hosts. Airbnb are already going to great lengths to simplify the booking process and remove all potential barriers to entry, so abolishing guest reviews altogether would be the next logical step on the path to ratcheting up the figures.

I think that is just part of the business - to write a review on every guest! I think that if hosts are like me - interested in psychology of people - they will always write a review - without copy-paste the same one. I am in my third year, and I am not tired doing my job about reviewing my guests, I am always interested what they look like, what are their interests... their habits, although 80% are staying just one night. I get in big depression if even one sub-category a guest thinks does not deserve 5-stars, because I am really giving my heart to all my guests. I did not know until today that I can see the compliments guests are leaving me - when I saw them today I was astonished, and very pleased - so many compliments I missed until now... But I was also astonished to see that only 3 guests left me remarks - every one of them 4 remarks - it mostly tells you about their character - people who cannot live without searching for other people"s faults - all 3 left me 5 stars review but... wanted to complain, just cannot live without complaining even from nonexistent things. The first year I was asking guests for good reviews, now I am not - I am interested what they would decide to write, how they can judge others, can they appreciate what they receive, what kind of persona they are. "Persona" by Ingmar Bergman... I am looking the new live version!

"I look at the reviews they have left for other hosts and check for things like nitpicky complaints about their being a smudge on the baseboard, scratchy toilet paper, etc. and/or a mismatch between what they said happened and what the host said. Some guests leave a really nasty review for hosts when other guests haven't and that is telling. These people are hard to please and don't mind sharing petty thoughts in public. I can do without them personally."

Many cities and countries have imposed restrictions and even bans on vacation rentals, which directly impacts hosts looking to set up their businesses there. To avoid paying hefty penalties or fines, make sure your property adheres to the regulations and laws of your city or state:

Another important issue for hosts to take into account relates to fees and expenses necessary to maintain their house. Aside from vacation rental and state-applicable taxes, you will also need to pay a hosting fee to Airbnb every time a guest books your home.

When it comes to Airbnb house rules, the best policy for hosts is to be open and honest with guests. Before you start accepting bookings from your first guests, you need to decide on the ground rules for your listing. Including your rules as part of your listing description is ideal, as it shows guests what you expect from the beginning. They can then decide if the rules suit the kind of stay they are looking for. This can prevent misunderstandings from happening further down the line. In addition to placing them in your Airbnb listing description, you should also place a copy of your house rules in your property. Some commonplace rules many Airbnb hosts are related to:

If you opt for the Flexible cancellation policy, you can potentially earn more reservations, but the downside is that guests can cancel for free up to 24 hours before their booking begins. Using the Moderate policy protects hosts against last-minute cancellations. However, with this policy, a cancellation rebate will still be lower than the booking fee. ff782bc1db
