Recommending to other hosts and wanting to host the guest again are two different things in my mind. We had two recent guests were were fine, but they had a bit higher expectations for what our "simple room" booking had to offer. My husband and I call them "hotel people." Anyway, I'd recommend them to hosts that have a higher end offering, maybe a separate space entirely instead of a guestroom in a house (like ours), but personally, we don't want to host them again.
Does anyone know how selecting NO to "would you host this guest again?" affect their stats or our stats? I kind of thought maybe it's just a data thing for airbnb to see the statistics behind people who would reocmmend a guest vs host them again vs the star reviews they leave for the guest. In our case, there was really no reason to leave less than 5 stars to the questions that airbnb asked...
