Got 2 negative reviews in a row. And this one is even more crazy

So recently i posted here asking for suggestions where the host accused me of bleaching sheets which I have never done.  

 

Now I got this even more negative review:

I don't recommend it. I leave the apartment super dirty. It was stolen from the gym two weights. Ah, I broke the back of the bed and stained numerous towels. In addition to being unresponsive. Very disrespectful and not very grateful when I checked in at 1:30 AM. The only thing I spoke to during the stay was to ask me for things that weren't there. And take them as hangers and laundry liquid. And she never appreciated me. At check-out. I don't even say hello. She's not a very polite person, let's say

 

 

Now, this host personally checked me out, and never ever mentioned that it was dirty.  I don't cook, and i don't have any friends in Argentina, half of the apartment is not even touched throughout the stay.  And why would I steal two weights? Imagine carrying two weights around during travels.. I don't even know there's a gym or there's weights...

 

My flight to Argentina was delayed for around 12 hours, and I asked the host if he can check me at that time.  He said yes. And when I met him, I thanked him profusely....

 

He accused me of stealing this, breaking that, but he never charges me for any damages!  If your bed is broken, wouldn't you charge the guest for damages? 

 

I got a weird feeling about this host as after I check out, he sent me the following:

Hello, I would like to know if you had a good experience. For me it is super important that you have had a good stay in my airbnb. I would really appreciate a good review. Since I try very hard to be a great host. That's why I check in you in person at 1:30 am.

Best regards MARCOS

But I didn't think his apartment was that much of a value, because it wasn't that clean, sheets and towels already have stains on them, the bottom of the curtains was absolutely dirty.  I usually don't leave reviews if I don't fully recommend the place.  So I just didn't reply.  

 

Now I am thinking that he may think since I don't reply, I am not gonna leave a positive review and "pre-emptively" leave a horrible review?

 

And is he asking for appreciation for the laundry soap that was in the apartment and I used it? 

 

I am very furious about this.  Is there any way to contest this?   From reading the airbnb policy, I think the host cut the "clean" line of not violating it, because all he asked was asking for a positive review? 

 

But these crazy crazy just totally untrue reviews is just ridiculous.  Takes all the joy out of traveling.

@Wenyan2 it is so unclear what you are going for, looking for, wanting to relate and express in your post. If looking for support... sorry not gonna happen from me...cause I'm so confused by what you write. Just telling it like I read.. see it. And lots have viewed but also not written. ????

Good luck

@Wenyan2  The review from your host marcos that I can see is very positive.  Did you possibly confuse private feedback with the public review?

@Wenyan2  There is no such review on your profile.

@Wenyan2I would not be worried about since the rest of your host comments are great and very complimentary. Move on, not worth the stress. Come over the border to British Columbia and visit Vancouver  Island. We would welcome you as a guest at The Mill Bay Cottage.
