The first step in disputing an Airbnb review is to contact the guest who left the review. Explain your concerns about the review and see if you can resolve the issue directly. If you are unable to resolve the issue directly with the guest, you can then contact Airbnb and request that they review the review. Airbnb will then investigate the review and make a determination on whether or not it should be removed.
Criteria for Review Removal
There are a number of different reasons why Airbnb may remove a review. These include:
- **The review is factually inaccurate.** If the review contains any false or misleading information, Airbnb may remove it.
- **The review is discriminatory.** Airbnb prohibits discrimination based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics. If a review contains any discriminatory language, Airbnb may remove it.
- **The review is threatening or harassing.** Airbnb will not tolerate any threats or harassment in reviews. If a review contains any threatening or harassing language, Airbnb may remove it.
- **The review is spam.** Airbnb considers spam to be any review that is posted solely for the purpose of promoting a commercial product or service. If a review contains any spam, Airbnb may remove it.
How to Prevent Negative Reviews
The best way to avoid negative reviews is to provide your guests with a great experience. Here are a few tips:
- **Be responsive to guest inquiries.** Respond to all guest inquiries promptly and courteously. This will show your guests that you are committed to providing them with a great experience.
- **Be clear and upfront about your listing.** Make sure your listing is accurate and complete. This will help your guests know what to expect when they book your property.
- **Go the extra mile for your guests.** Do something extra for your guests, such as leaving them a welcome gift or providing them with local recommendations. This will show your guests that you are willing to go the extra mile to make their stay enjoyable.
