@Laura2592 , I get the good hosts here, it seems, knock on wood. Hiker hosts, I suppose, because we're a camping listing. It's usually a fun chat at breakfast. None have ever given less than 5 stars. When I am a guest, it's the same. Full stars, and if something were to need to be fixed because it would impact future guests, I'd keep it private. So far I haven't had to do even that. I book with experienced hosts who don't need my "expert" advice. 🙂
When I was very, very new to hosting, back in the dark reaches of 2012, the closest listing to me was about an hour away. A host from there sent an inquiry asking me to block two weeks for them while they decided which night in that two weeks they would come. Although new, I managed not to get tricked into doing this. I don't know what was up. Trying it on with me, I guess. It made me think I had to watch out for competing hosts, but luckily my subsequent experiences, and this forum, have shown me otherwise.
I wish it were otherwise for all!
