Why do you hosts always leave the worst reviews? - Kcgal - 01-18-2026
About half of my non five star reviews seem to be from other Airbnb hosts. Question to you all: Do you usually leave 5 stars and if not do you feel you are biased because you are also a host?

As a host who has stayed in a few other airbnb's, I actually end up hardly leaving reviews unless I am blown away. There was one stay in Greece where the unit was in the basement of an old apartment building (otherwise great location) which was not mentioned in the listing and there was a HUGE cockroach climbing on the walls. I had to go buy some bug spray and the only reimbursement I got from the host was a few Euros for the spray. Otherwise, the host was super nice. I ended up just not leaving a review. The other times I ended up not leaving a review because I just got too busy.
