Flaw in the system.
Last year for me everything went well with Airbnb. Because of this I let my guard down and was far too trusting, this year the party crowd that would normally go to a club 18-30 type resort staycationed and ended up in my house. Aside from all the extra work to clean the house I was left a bad review when I tried to ban them from smoking in the house.
Now because of the way the review system works I have to either drop my prices or go without bookings.
It seems strange to me that I provide a 200k property and partner airbnb. Then when airbnb send me bad guests, it's my fault I got a bad review, I am punished by having my listing downgraded. Then I get sent an message from Airbnb telling me how to be a better host. WHAT exactly am I supposed to do.... Tell guest it's OK to pee on the floors, spill beer anywhere you want, and thank people for stealing my stuff.
The flaw: Airbnb takes no responsibility for the people they send you. You get punished if you leave a bad review, or get left one, Once you have been left an unjustified bad review (just 1) by a bad guest your account is worthless and you can't get anymore bookings leaving you in the position you have no choice but to close your account.
Airbnb need good quality properties, why do they turn on the people who provide them. The host has everything to loose, the guest nothing.
I have 2 more booking to go, these were booked before I got the bad review, so after that it's goodbye air bnb.
