@Natalie797 Perhaps I missed something due to not speaking Swedish, but none of your 11 reviews appears to mention the checking-in process. Maybe the guest gave private feedback about his trouble finding the place, but this is not visible on your listing.
As frustrating as it feels to get a negative review, you become a much better host when you're willing to learn from the negative feedback, rather than expect Airbnb to protect you from it. Guests do appreciate getting thorough, thoughtfully-written directions (with all possible modes of transport considered) without having to ask for them.
Sometimes, unfortunately you will get a cranky guest who puts the blame on you for their own communication failure or inappropriate expectation. As long as you're not using Instant Book, you can always screen your guests and decline those that you don't wish to host. The way they communicate in the Request process is a good predictor of how they'll behave as guests.
You can also attract better guests by improving your listing's photos and descriptions. Look at the 3rd photo, for example - that is the messiest bed I've ever seen in an Airbnb listing. Is that really the message you want to send about your hospitality?
He left a bad star review when it comes to checking in and left a warning. Of course, I am willing to learn ,the topic at hand has nothing to do with not improving,it has to do with having to deal with unreasonable demands, which completely went over your head. I never said airbnb needs to protect me, it has to do with fairness and what I can take responsibility for and what guests have to take responsibility. It's not my responsibility to get here,its the guests responsibility, if they ask for help with directions,that's fine. Airbnb runs a site where hosts have to take responsibility for things out of our control,which is not a good thing.
As for the picture I thought it added character, but yeah i will change it
