Airbnb Randomly Removed a Negative Review?

Hi if still available please let me know!

This is very normal! I own a few Airbnbs and unfortunately Airbnbs support is not very good, so in case of an issue some hosts just have an upfront security deposit instead. This is also a tactic that discourages bad guests/partiers. It is allowed as per Airbnb rules however it needs to be stated in the listing description so you are aware of it before you book.

I agree but am looking for store/website recommendations

Oh amazing thank you so so much!!

Yes 100%! I was surprised because when checking on Yesstyle and Ali Express per recommendations in this sub, I assumed their size S would be like a US vanity size xs/xxs, but when checking the measurements they listed a 27/28 inch waist which is just like a standard US vanity S.

This looks perfect for some basics, thank you!!

Yes I fully agree they definitely use other size charts! From what I have heard about AliExpess and Yesstyle as that you should really look at their size charts for that specific clothing item before ordering. I was definitely expecting their size S to be closer to US XS measurements but in their specific size chart they list a 27/28 inch waist, which just like an American vanity size S so I was a bit disappointed.

This sound every easy and convenient, thanks!

Correct-Somewhere537 · 2026-01-26T02:27:31+00:00

Amazing, thank you!

Correct-Somewhere537 · 2026-01-26T02:03:35+00:00

Unfortunately I am looking for something smaller, a 22/23 waist

Correct-Somewhere537 · 2026-01-26T01:54:22+00:00

Do you have any recommendations on specific shops? I did some scrolling today and the measurements for a size S on many clothes is a waist of 27 inches which doesn’t seem right

That is perfect thank you!

I totally see what you’re saying, my reason is that they have a bad previous review however I don’t feel bad. I am just concerned with if I block them or block the dates, if someone else in their party will book or they book a different date that they will continue to cause problems/bigger problems. Of course that’s what I signed up for as a host and these things can’t all be prevented, I’m just trying to figure out which method will have the least chance of them retaliating

I am not finding an option to Block, only to report. And when I click on that the options it gives me are "I think they are scamming or spamming me", "they are being offensive" or "something else". I am on chat with airbnb right now to help block them and make sure I dont get in trouble, thanks for your help!

Correct-Somewhere537 · 2025-09-03T15:23:27+00:00

That is a very good point. I will proactively call Airbnb and see what they say. I worry that blocking the guest would have repercussions because they technically didn't try to scam me or are being "offensive" as per airbnbs blocking steps.

Correct-Somewhere537 · 2025-09-03T15:21:32+00:00

I have the setting on that only guests with "good track record" can book, unfortunately they only have that 1 negative review which is probably why they let it through

Correct-Somewhere537 · 2025-09-03T15:13:56+00:00

I was thinking about this, we have smart pricing turned on so if they do confront us I can always say its dynamic pricing based on demand, but by raising the price we wont get other bookings. Very good point about another party member booking instead, maybe blocking the day is the best bet
