Kudos to Airbnb for at least one change

[Suzanne302]

We've all had complaints about the various changes Airbnb makes (on a regular basis, it seems) but I have to say I appreciate the fact that they now basically give you a countdown to how much longer you have to review a guest. This was implemented awhile ago, but prior to the change, we had to guess how long we had until the clock ran out. We knew it was 14 days, but those last 24 hours were questionable, so getting it close enough without running out of time was a challenge.

Why is this important for hosts?

Because many of us know, that for certain guests, if you had a bad experience with them and they have not reviewed you yet, it's best practice to wait until the last minute to review them.

The universe has sent me a string of less than ideal guests recently, so I'm utilizing this feature to it's full effect!

But I did just have an incredibly sweet guest who I will be reviewing immediately.

@Suzanne302  Hi!  I love this feature, too.  Waiting until time almost runs out gives your listing two additional weeks showing good reviews, and then, if the bad guest gives a bad review, it will be buried by reviews that came after it.  My season started with two guests who marked me down for no discernible reason.  Didn't see it coming, so my only recourse was to have the nice reviews I wrote for them removed.  Revenge is sweet 🙂
