What is Airbnb?
Airbnb is a global online marketplace that connects people who want to rent out their homes with those seeking short-term accommodations.
According to AirDNA.com, the name came from the company founders originally renting out air mattresses in their living room.
Since being founded in 2007, it has become a preferred alternative to hotels, offering unique stays and more personalized travel experiences.
Although it feels like Airbnb has been around forever, the domain wasn’t even registered until August 2008.
Today, the site is one of the strongest on the internet, with a domain rating of 92 out of a possible 100, according to AHREFS.com.
The Impact Of Negative Reviews on Your Airbnb Listing
Online reviews serve as a key decision-making factor for most Airbnb users.
A single poor review can reduce booking frequency, affect your search ranking, and even lead to account suspension in extreme cases.
For hosts, this could mean fewer guests and reduced income.
For guests, a bad review might make it harder to book top-tier listings.
Airbnb uses an average rating system that prominently displays your score to potential users—so every review counts.
Multiple poor reviews can also trigger automated quality audits from Airbnb, putting your account (and your SuperHost status) at risk.
Hostaway reports that Superhosts rated 4.8 or higher receive 22% higher bookings.
So, even a slightly negative tone or unfair criticism can impact your online reputation – and your wallet – if left unchallenged.
How To Request Airbnb Remove A Review (For Property Owners)
If you’re a host dealing with a false or unfair review Airbnb may remove it if it’s found to violate Airbnb’s Review Policy.
A few of the most important content violations under which a review would be takend down by Airbnb moderators include those which are:
- Threatening or extortion
- Misleading or deceptive
- Fake or manipulative
- Biased in any way
Reporting a review is free and if you see a clear violation of policy, it only takes a few minutes to report.
Step-by-step directions:
1 – Log in to your Airbnb account and go to the Help Center.
2 – Navigate to the “Contact Us” section and submit a formal complaint referencing the review.
3 – Be specific—cite the portion of the review that violates policy and explain why it should be removed. Be sure to include any external documention (i.e. emails, screenshots).
Remember: Airbnb does not remove reviews simply because they are negative—there must be a clear violation of policy.
How To Request Airbnb Remove A Review (For Renters)
Guests aren’t immune to negative reviews either.
Perhaps you’ve been rated as a 5-star guest and then you have a miscommunication with a host that results with them leaving you a bad review.
This can effect your ability for future bookings.
If a host leaves a poor review that you believe is unfair or inaccurate, you may also request its removal.
Follow the same step-by-step instructions listed above.
While Airbnb rarely removes guest reviews, valid policy violations do result in takedowns.
