Guest snooped through my bedroom and private bathroom, Airbnb removed my review

I recently had a guest that, while I was not home, entered my bedroom, snooped around, then went into my private attached bathroom and searched through the medicine cabinet and vanity drawers.  The guest then returned back to my bedroom, snooped a bit more, and even walked up to look closely at my computer screen.  The guest said nothing until I asked them about it later, upon which they explained that they were looking for toilet paper, which I don't keep in my private bedroom or on my computer screen.

 

I left a review describing what happened, and the guest was able to get it removed within a day.  The Airbnb rep could not say with any specificity what terms the review violated.

 

I don't know what to say about this.  I hope none of you unknowingly have to host this guest, but you'll never know since the review is gone...

@Christopher187  Well, then, I guess you have quite the conundrum! Good luck!

I think you should demand that the guest be removed from the platform. And that you should be allowed to write a review without that last line. Hosts deserve to know what they're in for.

The fact they they removed the entire review and won't allow for any part of it to remain intact is what I find very bizarre.  It was a moderately long review, citing a number of problems, and they removed it because of one rather enigmatic sentence that does not reveal anything personal about the guest.

 

  I can't even get them to send me a full copy of the review, which I did not save a copy of.
