Viewing reviews of potential guests

I know there was another thread but cant find it so want to give feedback on not being able to view potential guests reviews anymore.

When we as hosts get an enquiry or booking request we need to be able to see how previous hosts had found the experience of hosting them. "Flora is recommended by 4 hosts." isnt enough information.  We for example may recommend a guest but put other details in the review that may give other hosts a heads up to some issues or for the host to remind the guest to read the details before booking.

 

What is the point of reading about a guest after the fact rather than before a possible issue arrises .

Hosting for 12 years Superhost for most of that time and have grown each year.

I recently had a problematic guest for whom I’m reluctant to post an honest review for fear of retribution from him (he lives 2 hrs away), or possibly his friends (of questionable character) who live in my county.  I am new to Airbnb.  I’d like to be able to warn other hosts. Is there a way to do this without posting it publicly?
