Hi @Tori2. Sorry this happened to your homestay, but who knows what else we can’t see, without ultraviolet or white lights. Hence the need to clean thoroughly at all times....
IMO:
stars:
Follow house rules = 3 ( due to blatant override of host instruction and still actioned a late check = 3
cleanliness = 1- 2-3 stars ( you can rate the mess as you saw it.
communication = if you like to know of big messes, and nothing communicated = 4
do you recommend = no 👎🏽
Summary: 3 or lower stars will stop them being able to instant book any property.
Review: keep it abstract but telling, so the review is not removed.
“... .. and ... were friendly guests who showed they are inexperienced with our Airbnb community expectations. I wish them well, but cannot recommend them.
or the second sentence could be: I wish them well, but feel they are better suited to a motel.
ALL hosts will read this explicit comment as a messy and disrespectful guest.
Done!
