It POSSIBLY would have been more effective-no guarantee, BUT I get the impression that the guest threw a fit to AirBnB and they would have appeased him anyways for future bookings.
They made no mention of how or which statement my review broke AirBnB's policy, but just took it down citing policy was breached but they need to speak with their team to figure out what to do.A review that was not spiteful, over the top or malicous but honest and based off of AirBnB's 3 points of criteria for rating a guest.They made the criteria, not me.I just review and rate off of the standards that AirBnB allows us to review and rate a guest-which is very minimal anyways.
In other words, the very first move for them was to appease the guest opposed to the host's honesty-and before even talking to their team as they suggested they should do, they took down my review-which was not vulgar, nor suggestive of bodily fluids. Making a mess of my quilt cover can mean a number of things-sex not included.
Keep in mind, this review was 14 months old and the guest just complained about it 2 days ago!!! Would AirBnB even give the benefit of doubt to any host asking to get a poor review on their property for a 14 month old review?
