Rating based on location.

[Sarah1508]

I recall this year receiving a policy update that said location was no longer going to be rated because people have different plans and location is relative to their plans, and is out of control of the host.

I however cannot find this anywhere. 

Does anyone else remember this?

Maybe you are referring to this article?

Yes! That was it, thank you Emilia.

@Sarah1508  Thank you for bringing this up, I wasn't aware of this change of policy. 

I'm pleased to see this:

"Now, when a guest goes to rate you in the location category, if they give you less than 3 stars, they see an explanation: “Was the listing’s location not described accurately?”
