I need some help from seasoned hosts. I (female) had a (male) guest that made me feel incredibly uncomfortable and now has left me a review that might lead people to believe I am discriminatory. Sorry ahead of time, there will be inappropriate content below***
Cliff Notes: Single female hosting in-house open room. Male guests became inappropriate and sexually suggestive. I had to call a friend over for the weekend to feel safe.
The guest and I had a warm welcome like any guest, friendly and open. I even offered to share a beer, which I do with most guests if they feel like connecting. This guest took the conversation to a very inappropriate place, offering to show me his cheating wifes porn, I declined and created space and told him I wasn't comfortable with that conversation. It kept going where he shared his porn addiction. He then shared he selected my home because he liked my photo and picked my place because of me. I called a friend immediately to come over and stay with me. Excused myself, and went to bed with a locked door, my friend showed up an hour later and stayed for the guests whole reservation. I received after-hours messages where he asked if he could take a shower and if the noise would bother me, I said no go right ahead, and then said goodnight. He then responded with a comment about what he likes to do with his tongue. "I was going to say something cra to you but I stopped.. lol I like to do this thing with my 😛😜 Don't judge me lol 😅😂😆😂🤣" Then another message asking "if I had a girl over?". Then another message saying he's "leaving at midnight and will be back by 2 am." I ignored all messages. I wish I could add screenshots of the poor review and the direct message (which I reported.) The next day in the morning, with my friend over, he tried to hug me to which I backed away immediately and left. His review states that my "energy changed" and I was displaying prejudice based on his beliefs.

**The sign on my door he is referring to is a door knocker that was there when I bought the house and it says "no religion and no soliciting." I plan to paint over it immediately now that I know it bothers guests. The only reason it is still there as it would damage the door significantly if I removed it. Taking action to simply patch paint over it ASAP
What do I do? How do I get rid of this inaccurate review? I did not display prejudice and did not discriminate based on race, religion, or sexuality. I simply was not responding to his highly inappropriate advances. I also feel like this man is predatory and would never recommend a female host to accept his reservation.
