@Emma222 The reason why it is not published is that the review system is blind. Your review will get posted the second your host submit a review of you OR when the review period is over (14 days after check-out). If it was posted straight ahead and you had left a bad review your host would be able to read it and it probably would effect the review he then writes of you. (That would also mean that you couldn't really leave an honest one). It is blind so neither guest or host can read each others review before both are posted or after the period to review has ended (in case only one part leaves a review).
