I am also really quite insulted by these threats that airbnb issue about suspending a listing because
one 3 star revue from a guest who had read about me driving a couple of girls with huge suitcases to the
station .which he decided , along with his girlfriend , entitled him to be taxied to another station several
miles away .
I had let the couple store their luggage here while they went for a visa interview . They then
. . on their return to collect their luggage and hours after the check out .. USED the shower !!
I was unable to do give them a lift not only due to work commitments but also because they made it here to
check in exceptionally late , with little luggage & lots of noise .
I was polite, helpful & assisted them where I could , but this nonchalant attitude towards my efforts as a host
does not encourage even more ' favours'
My concern is that some guests ,, if they abuse the way airbnb treat hosts , will literally hold us to ransome ..
in effect.. to get a decent rating
Airbnb need to remember that without their hosts they have no business.. and the consistant good reviews
should be what they notice... not a clappometre type star system that few understand the value of.
