I'm astonished by your post and your description of how Airbnb have handled the host's review. I'm astonished because I cannot believe that they removed it in the first place. That was clearly an inexperienced CS rep who does not understand Airbnb policy.
It's only right that the review was reinstated, especially after you harassed the host a month later. Quite possibly, the rep who was assigned it the next time read your correspondence with the host and it lead him/her to agree that your requests could indeed be construed as odd. I don't know, but it's a distinct possibility.
In any case, his review does not violate policy. He has not slandered you. He has not said you are an odd person. He has said that you made odd requests that he has not had from other guests and that you left the unit in a less than clean state. You might not think your requests were odd, but he did. You might not think you left the unit untidy but, to his mind, you did. That is his experience of the stay and he is entitled to write that, just as you are entitled to write about your experience. That is what the reviews are for.
No, he doesn't need to specify what the odd requests were and it's quite likely he left that out so as to spare you a harsher view. If a guest reviews a host and says the listing was dirty, they are not required to go into minute detail about the ways in which they found it dirty (and cleanliness is very subjective) and their review would certainly not be removed as slanderous because they failed to do so. It might be different if they said the host themselves was dirty and stank.
In any case, there are other reviews on your profile that would make me much more wary of you than his (e.g. that a host felt she needed to move out of her own home to keep you happy) and there are others that have red flags in them, worded in a far more vague way than the host you are complaining about, but that would still set off alarm bells in my mind.
You have many more glowing reviews, so I can see why some hosts might ignore the not perfect ones and accept your booking. It's actually your profile that I find the most troubling. I would not accept a booking from you under any circumstances even if I felt confident I could meet all your exacting standards and every one of your reviews was glowing. It is possibly the oddest guest profile I have ever read.
Your comments on this thread only confirm that feeling. They are extremely odd. And why on earth would you think it was okay to harass the host after you already got what you wanted. What did you hope to achieve other than to make him feel bad? It's hardly gracious considering you had already 'won'.
I agree with the other hosts who have suggested you move on. The review is really not that bad and I don't think your rants here are going to garner much support.
If you still feel so irked about it, you have the option to leave a public response to the host's review telling your side of the story. Personally, I wouldn't recommend you do that. As I said, the review is not that bad. Judging by the amount of Airbnbs you stay in, it will soon be pushed down the list, and as you don't seem to usually reply to the reviews, that would only draw more attention to this one.
