Just like to spread some awareness regarding Air BnB stays.
The rating system is not the same as a hotel rating system.
A rating of 3 star or below is extremely unsatisfactory. A 2 star rating could cost a cleaner their job. A 1 star rating could cost a host their buisness.
Before you rate think carefully, was your experience that bad? Should you really rate a property interior a low rating based on the external area environment. Is faking an issue to get a refund worth costing someone their wage for that day or affecting future stays fir the host.
We are lucky enough to have so many wonderful guest experiences but we have been on the receiving end of the not so great guests too. Its really frustrating and upsetting when you are on that receiving end. Hosts and cleaners have no support from these booking platforms at all. Theres no compensation for us.
So I urge potential guests of Air BnB properties, think before you rate!
