Hi
I’ve hosted 4 times since re-opening after lockdown and only had one guest leave a review. BC (Before Coronavirus) I would receive reviews nearly every time.
Have Airbnb stopped reminding guests by email to leave a review?
Should I be concerned? Will lack of reviews potentially affect my SH status? I should be OK for October 2020 and January 2021 review periods But due to a long lockdown March 2020 to August 2020 I think I might struggle for the April 2021 SH review, especially if there is another spike and we go back into lockdown.
The only difference to the property since re-opening is that I’ve removed jigsaws and games, asking for all pots to go through the dishwasher (dish washer tablets supplied), Remote controls in ziplock bags and asking guests to strip their beds and place in the laundry bag so I can drop straight off to the laundry.
These measures are in place to protect the guests so that they can feel secure in a clean home but do you think my requests are putting people off from reviewing?
I don’t like to ask for reviews but do other hosts remind their guests?
Many thanks for any advice.
