I don't know that I would describe it as revenge reviewing, Kate you just seem to keep walking into these review situations.
Short term renting is not just a vehicle to fatten your bank account. You have a requirement to meet a certain level of service and expectation in order to be worth what you are paid.....and in most of your reviews, you were not worth what you were paid Kate.
Seriously, your reviews read like a chamber of horrors, you could accept a few guests having unrealistic expectations and giving unjustified reports.....but you just keep getting the same comments over and over again....'Not worth the money'.....'Too many rules' .......'Basic amenities not provided'......'unjust cleaning fees'! The list goes on and on.
And on top of that, guests that did leave a poor review you simply tore into and personally criticised....you do not seem to be learning from what your guests are telling you. And the final nail in the coffin, every 15 reviews or there about ...."The host cancelled this reservation xxxxx days before arrival, this is an automated posting"!
It amazes me that Airbnb did not suspend your account a long time ago.
Kate, what offends me the most about this is, it is a slur on all the great hosts that try their heart out for their guests, the ones that do go that 'extra mile' that you don't even know exists......It reflects badly on all of us and it brings the platform into disrepute! I am proud to be on Airbnb, but reading your reviews makes me feel I should keep that feeling to myself!
Maybe you are not cut out to be an STR host, maybe you should concentrate those management 'skills' on the long term rental market where your landlord style will only reflect on you not the platform in general!
Sorry Kate, I don't like to be critical of another host but you do need to take stock of your situation, try to be a bit more a part of the house sharing economy otherwise ,you should put your time and effort into managing a vehicle parking station where there is no expectation of you other than to provide a vacant space for which you will be paid!
Cheers......Rob
