Airbnb is suspending my listings due to one 3 star review from 1 month ago its getting ridiculous

Airbnb is going bananas with the listing suspension i have had 3 perfectly good super host status listings suspended on my diferent acounts due to 1 single review of 3 stars because 1 of the criteria is 1 star, its getting to a point where i wander if its worth it anyone has the same issue?

Hi Ayesha! Same here - this is driving us crazy.

 

We host 4000 airbnb guests per year. The suspension seems to kick in if there are 3 reviews that are 3 stars. This is regardless of how many guests you host, and how many amazing reviews you have. We have calculated that if 0.1% of of our guests leave a 3 star review, we can have a listing suspended. Whereas suspension for a host that hosts only 10 guests, must have 30% 3 star reviews to have a listing suspended. 

When we speak to airbnb customer service, they have even removed some 3 star reviews for breach of content, but the suspension still remains in place. 

We’re seasoned professional hosts with excellent reviews - and we can’t think why airbnb thinks it’s a good idea to suspend our listings via an algorithm… even the customer service agents don’t agree.

Hi Ayesha, 

 

Im sorry to hear about your listing. Did they reinstated it at the end? Im asking cause Im also a superhost who just received a terrible and unjustified review, with most of the criteria on 1 star. So far they havent removed my add but now worried about it.
