yea, I get that, 100 percent, but I do understand some peoples' privacy concerns.
If someone trashed our place they'd get a bad review, to warn other hosts, whether they left us one or not.
We had guests last year who didn't leave a review who have booked again this year.
No review is better than a 4* review imho.
I do get your point. The mutuality is something we like about Airbnb. About people.
It is maybe an idea for guests to be able to review a place without revealing their ID publicly. Just marked as a verified review.
I bet these people so concerned about their privacy wouldn't hesitate to leave a *bad* review if they weren't happy though …....🤷
