So I found a loophole in the blind review process... the 48 hour window to edit your review. Upon hearing from my cleaning team for the first and only time that the place was left a mess, with towels reeking of urine (gross), and baking pans that had to be thrown out, I checked all the blogs and conversations on Airbnb about whether to leave an honest post, and how to do it in a gracious way. I saw that I received the guests' review, so now it was my turn. I said that the guests were communicative the entire time (they were) and that they left the place a little messy, but nothing we couldn't clean or fix. That's it. When my review posted, I immediately saw a really glowing review of my place, all 5 stars, and how they were considering making it an annual location. However, within the next few hours, I saw that the post was edited, and stars were taken away, and I was given a knock for value, noting that my place was now too costly for it's location (fyi, it's the least expensive airbnb stay in the entire neighborhood, I've checked). I asked Airbnb support about this situation, thinking they must certainly be able to see the original post that I saw, and the Airbnb rep I chatted with could not see it, so nothing could be done. I am grateful the review has been (and hopefully will continue to be) drowned out by other 5 star reviews, but it still is a lesson I have learned, and thought I'd share with the community.
