Host wrote a revenge review to defame me

[Varun56]

I stayed at his host which I had to extend for a few more days in the end. The host was a total scammer. So I left poor reviews under both the bookings.

Now the host left a positive review for one booking but after seeing a negative review,  she left a negative review on the other.

I would ignore it generally, but this one is very defamatory and blatantly lie.

“Warning: Your house is not safe with this person. He may unauthorised tresspass, may bring unauthorised visitors male/female. If caught red handed, will use blame policy for defence.”

I am seriously angry. What should I do?

@Varun56  All of this is really beside the point. One can't really expect Airbnb to get involved in every petty squabble. And the host could just as easily say that your review was "defamatory" as you can say that hers was (neither of you would be correct in the legal sense). 

I don't really care whether one or both of you is lying. Your question was "what should I do?" and the answer is "post a public response."

If it's still too much for you to bear, to have these remarks written about you on your profile, you can delete your account and book with different platforms in the future.
