Perfect places are for ... perfect guests!
And to be a super host does not mean to be a super guest (in my experience, it is quite the reverse, super hosts think they are special and they are deceptive guests).
If i do agree about some of your reviews such as 1 roll of paper toilet for 1 week (that drives me mad), it must be match with the price.
A 30$/night rental is not a 200$ rental.
So i agree with the other people that your are a challenging guest and i would not like to host you.
I always read reviews written by a prospect.
They say more about personality and expectations than reviews written by hosts.
And your reviews look like an examinator more than a guest (let's not even talk about a friendly guest).
1/ For Lauren, Thunder Bay, Canada, reservation for a third party are forbidden by Airbnb for reviews accuracy!
You pretend to write accurate reviews and you lie in writting a review on someone who did not came.
The guest come must book with his profil.
If there is problem, Airbnb disclaims any liability because this person is unknown of Airbnb.
And possibly your insurance as well.
Keep in mind that on a legal point of view, this person has no reservation.
2/ Hosts can read the review you get and the review you give and host replies.
I did not read them all but some are delightful :
"There were cockroaches during the entire stay."
Host reply :
"when she checked out, the unit was left in total mess. There were hairs on the floor, left over food in the sink (even if there was a sign not to pour left over food in the sink to avoid clogging) and the balcony door was left open, door knob was tied to the curtain. She could have messaged me on how to open/close the balcony door. This could be the reason why she had incidents of cockroaches again. You see, Ms Ying, we try to provide the best accommodation to our guests. "
It means you are not clean and careful and this behaviour attracts bugs.
"You can not check in late at night or early morning. So if you are coming from an early or late flight keep this in mind."
Check in and check out times are written in the listing.
It means you did not read the listing properly.
It it not fair to reproach to host not when you did not read the ad.
One interesting review for a listing whose house rules are :
" Cooking is allowed for long-term stays only. Do not bring foul-smelling food items for fridge storage and microwave heating."
and you write :
"kitchen items such as a can opener, bottle and wine bottle opener, knife, cutting board, kitchen towels, larger bowls. I understand the host doesn't want guests cooking. Those items are still useful for non-"
Host reply :
"We have indicated in our amenities description that we don't allow cooking for short stays so we only provide basic cutleries. Thus, it's common sense that we don't keep extra kitchenware in stock because of our no cooking policy but should a guest need them, we will surely provide them right away."
2 possibilities :
or you did not read the listing carefully before booking or you have a problem to respect house rules.
Never mind what really happened.
In reading your reviews and host replies, future hosts might think you are careless, dirty, you don't read the listing and you reproach it to host.
And demanding.
Is it the impression you want to leave about you?
Negative reviews while all the others are positive means that the guest is more demanding than the average Airbnb travellers.
Who want to receive demanding guests?
It is tricky to point out some problems if you are the only one.
One solution is to write it in private to help the host to write a more accurate listing when something is different.
My theory is that you rent cheap places and you expect to get the Ritz hotel and service.
Just increase your budget and rent a unit with more than one roll of paper toilet, one towel and no can opener.
In addition, you can check in/out all day and a maid will come every day.
In my experience, low prices attract cheapsake and demanding guests.
