Reviews

[Nayomin0]

Why is is that guests can leave review and it's printed on Airbnb host account , without host leaving review. 
it matters very strongly that Airbnb yet again do not the security or safety of hosts. Guests can now leave review any such kind , which is than last host account but if a host does not review than this is not shown on guest account. If I know a guest will be unkind and malicious and is a complainer,  I do not want to review them , and just simply I wish to let it go.
That guest can review me and without me leaving review it will be posted by Airbnb . 
also I may like to add that IDs are not checked by Airbnb to the the person using the account when guest book.

@Nayomin0  It is true that failing to leave a review for your guests will not prevent them from reviewing you. And why should it?

You're very unlikely to get malicious and unkind guests if you're screening carefully. But when they do slip through the cracks, it's often because prior hosts lacked the courage to review them honestly.

 both review should be published not just the guest 

[Nayomin0]

You cannot screen guest that have no reviews and just signed up to use Airbnb.

@Nayomin0   Yes you most certainly can. It's called communication. Clearly, you've had some recent guests with whom you didn't have a good personal rapport and perhaps some mismatched expectations. When you're hosting in a shared-home environment, especially for longer stays, you might consider engaging a guest in some detailed correspondence to make sure you're a good fit for each other's personalities before accepting a booking. 

That might mean occasionally turning down some business, but only you can be the gatekeeper against so called "trolls."

Not shared home 

[Sarah977]

@Nayomin0  What do you mean, not a shared home? It is listed as a private room, your reviews mention that there are other lodgers, and you say you are happy to sit and chat with guests if you are home. So it is quite obviously a shared home.

[Nayomin0]

Lol. They are past reviews obviously.

listings does not mention what you have written. 

[Sarah977]

@Nayomin0  Yes, your listing says you are happy to chat with guests if you are home. That would indicate that you also live there.

[Nayomin0]

Why should it? To prevent trolls on sites 

[Nayomin0]

Thanks for the updates . Your missing the point , why hosts reviews are not published than of screening for guest as you have previously mentioned. 
to be honest this ain't about communication it's about Airbnb olio you for hosts safety and security , ID not matching guests ???

@Nayomin0   If I'm missing the point it's probably because you're actually making two separate points **

I get the impression that you've severely overestimated the services that Airbnb provides as a third-party listing service. They don't care one bit about your security and safety - it's your own job to look after that. You can add a House Rule requiring that guests present an ID matching their user profile in order to access the property. You can decline requests from guests whose correspondence doesn't inspire your confidence. But when you let the guest complete a stay and it doesn't work out well, you don't get to retroactively make up some reason that it wasn't a valid booking and eligible for a review. 

We all have to take some responsibility for the outcomes of our decisions  when we hand our house keys over to a stranger from the internet. Airbnb is only there to facilitate the transaction and make a profit; **

You underestimate too

[Kia272]

@Nayomin0  Guest reviews are important so that guests can be informed about the places they might want to stay. The same for host reviews- other hosts can be informed about guests who might want to stay with them. If you have what you feel are bad guests, you need to leave a review. You should also leave reviews for good guests. If all reviews are subjective, we can still intuit the big picture from a number of reviews. Just because you don't want to leave a review doesn't mean that the guest should not be able to.

A better description and some screening of potential guests would manage expectations on both sides. Accepting guests who are not a good fit ultimately results in a larger monetary loss, because your bookings will become non-existent as your ratings slip. It's better to turn down a booking that doesn't seem like it will work out well.
