I Left bad comments

Hi. 
i have just left a review for a guest and even though it was quite a difficult experience with him, I left a fair review and only noted him down on cleanliness. 
But the page after the review said “would you host this person again” and tell us why. It said that only Airbnb and I would see this part. 
So I selected No, that I wouldn’t host him and listed all the reasons why. (There we’re quite a few!). 
But when I confirmed the page , the message said..thanks…we will let him know what he can improve on. !! 
I really only wanted these comments to be registered for my own records or for Airbnb, just in case another host had problems with this guest. 

Outside of the review, will my comments get back to him?

 

Thanks

Good question, @Sharon-And-Skye0 , I've seen this change too, and was wondering...

Really hope the comment from Airbnb only relates to you marking the guest down on Cleanliness…

@Sharon-And-Skye0   I certainly hope the guest doesn't see your comments. Please let us all know if they write you or make it clear that they have seen them. When we are told it will not be shared we trust this....so your message to US as Hosts is important. 

Thanks for writing. Sorry you had a guest that wasn't lovely and you thought about warning other hosts, that's valued and important. 

Keep us posted.

Happy Hosting, @Clara116

@Sharon-And-Skye0  yes pretty sure I asked this question last month when I first saw it as part of the new review process. 

 

As a guest, they review process has the same wording, and we never get to see any of the things the guest comments on, so it's not likely the guest will see it, but it would be good to have clarification of that.

I am not sure what your issue is with leaving a negative review. I have written 85+ reviews and maybe a half dozen were negative. People have broken a lot of rules and i make it public. Sometimes they take issue with the review, but I stand my reviews. The process is supposed to be transparent. I appreciate it when i see negative review on people and I don't let them book. The process is worthless if you don't put all reviews out there.
