How to Write an Airbnb Review

Our experiences with Airbnb stays have been quite diverse, ranging from exceptional to underwhelming. Here, we aim to share our insights and offer guidance on how to craft a review.

In our observations, we've identified two main types of Airbnb operators: owners who also serve as hosts, and property owners who delegate tasks such as cleaning and management to third parties.

The first group, owner-hosts, typically exhibit a more hands-on approach. They take personal pride in their properties and genuinely strive to ensure guests have a pleasant stay.

On the other hand, the second type, property owners who outsource tasks, often provide more basic accommodations with minimal furnishings and standard cleanliness.

We once encountered a perplexing situation where, after a mediocre and expensive stay, our excellent super host accused us, along with previous and subsequent guests, of causing toilet blockages. To our surprise, we later received an apology from her.
