How to get guest to leave review after deadline

My latest guests did not know about the 14 day deadline of writing a review for our home. Now they cannot leave one anymore.

 

Is there any way I can ask Airbnb to allow my guests to leave me a review after the passed deadline? My review for the guests was entered by me in time.

 

It would be a waste to miss out on another (possibly) positive review.

 

Hope anyone can help.

 

Thanks!

Sorry @Marcel188, but once the fourteen days are up, that’s it! Unfortunately many hosts have experienced this frustration, but remember that cut off date stops revenge/negative reviews from counter claiming as well. So unfortunately we have to take the bad with the good! 

 

-   Whilst they are on site, you might consider having a verbal conversation with a guest, informing them of the 14 day deadline, or even helping them to understand the review system and its importance. I often think guests think it is spam emails when the Airbnb reminders start arriving after they have departed.

 

-    Some hosts are mentioning the review process in their guest folders, as another means of educating/communicating to guests who are unsure or new to the platform.

 

-    Also remember that you could also send a message to a guest after check out thank8ng them for being good guests, and mention the review requirements and hope they will assist you with your ratings by taking time to review.

 

-     And there are some guests who refuse to leave reviews.... which is  merely the nature of the personality. 

 

Take me care and good luck next time!
