A recent guest of mine left me 3-stars for "communication" and indicated "host unresponsive". I responded to his review with, "Unreachable? I was in the space the entire duration of his stay."
I then followed up with him via message:
"Hi Kenneth,
Can you please expand on how I earned a "three-star rating" for communication with the note saying I was "unreachable"?
Thank you,
Caitlin"
His response:
"I texted you about the muffins and you didn't respond back to me. However I was being a bit too harsh and i shouldn't have gave you three stars because of that sorry"
I never received a message, text or otherwise, from him after check-out about muffins he left in my refrigerator. I looked through my messages again today and see one that came through on my iMessages on my computer but wasn't on my phone that reads, "Hey I left two chocolate chip muffins for you"
Is there anything he or I can do because not receiving a response about him leaving two muffins behind for me is about the pettiest reason for leaving a host 3-stars?!
You can only respond to the review, @Caitlin44. Indeed, petty reasoning but in this forum you'll find a lot of stories about guests leaving unfair reviews...
I had a low comms review once because guest kept sending me messages to the ''no reply'' line! In this business, anything can happen...
@Caitlin44 It could be even worser if the rating system was based on the amount of muffins left by guests...
What did he want for leaving you the two muffins? A trophy?
@Caitlin44, this one needs to be added to 'The Annals of the Capricious Nature of Airbnb's Star System'. Unbelievable.
