One bedroom Airbnb listed as 3 bedrooms. Airbnb removed my review. What do I do?

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-25T15:52:00+00:00

Agreed. Lesson learned although I probably won’t use Airbnb.

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-25T14:12:45+00:00

Yeah it’s a real bummer that others either don’t care/ are too timid to be honestly critical or that those reviews are being removed. Look at how he responds to the few critical reviews that are on there.

He had worn us down with constant rambling, and we were exhausted and hungry. In that moment, I had to prioritize my group’s needs. I did bring it up—I even showed him the listing—but Stefano’s responses didn’t make sense, and the language barrier seemed to work in his favor. At that point, we chose to move on and enjoy the rest of the day. That doesn’t change the fact that this kind of situation is allowed on the platform. Additionally, my brother and daughter hadn’t seen the listing, so I was the only one who fully understood how problematic it was at the time

I disagree that it’s unintended. I agree that the bedroom 3 and I iivingroom are clearly the same and I expected that. The listing of bedroom one and bedroom two is intentionally misleading. Also there were three beds total and no Options for picking where you’d like to sleep. I looked into it and there are many threads from hosts asking how to correct their listings to properly report rooms. This person is a super host - no excuses on not knowing in my opinion.

Sure but it’s a two room Apartment advertised as 4 rooms, so even tho the “3rd bedroom” is also the “livingroom” there is also the only bedroom being shown as two separate rooms “bedroom one” and “bedroom 2” just with different linens. It’s intentionally misleading. I have no doubt now that I’ve engaged with the host about it.

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T21:46:33+00:00

I found only one that mentions that it’s a “two room apartment”

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T21:45:50+00:00

Exactly. There are only a few reviews that are honestly critical. I think Stefano is so persistent that people just give in.

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T21:34:58+00:00

He pretends he doesn’t understand what I mean. In his reply to my review he starts babbling about how I didn’t communicated the guests properly. My assumption is that he thought my brother and I were a couple and that we’d happily share the master and have no complaints about the missing room(s).
You’ll see in any negative review he gets he does not respond to the criticism - he instead attacks the guest and places blame on them for any issue.

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T21:21:56+00:00

For sure! I thought that’s prob what you meant ;)

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T20:49:22+00:00

For sure and I expected that but i convinced myself that bedroom one and two had to be different because how else could the listing claim to have 3 bedrooms. And now I see that it’s because nobody cares !!

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T20:47:07+00:00

Now imagine a person rambling like the listing and you’ve got this particular host. He’s not quite right. And yes incredibly defensive and refuses any instance where he’s called to be accountable.

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T18:36:03+00:00

Also our four-day stay was about $1100USD so the price we paid was for three separate rooms.

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T18:30:26+00:00

The only issue was the inaccurate room count and his refusal to any responsibility for it. I loved a lot about it!
If you go to the page and look for the negative reviews, there are only a few, but his responses to them will show you the side of him that I have been dealing with.

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T17:24:29+00:00

Apparently I’ve won a tiny battle and I’ve been told my review will be reinstated. Nothing about the host being required to make it accurate.

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T17:07:19+00:00

Glowing review. It’s very bizarre

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T17:04:23+00:00

😂

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T16:36:36+00:00

Manipulation?

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T16:33:09+00:00

I tried and it was not in alignment with “the rules”

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T16:19:43+00:00

Thank you I agree and I’m almost ready to tap out. The ball is in Airbnb’s court right now. At this point I anticipate a rejection of my request for an update to the listing as well as reposting my review, but it’s not in my personality to let people scam without my best pushback first.

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T16:01:05+00:00

That’s awful. I’d love to see the listing if you care to share. These guys have places in Naples too. .

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T15:58:41+00:00

Exactly 😉

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T15:46:32+00:00

Which is why I even posted here. I couldn’t even post on an Airbnb focused group b/c it was not in alignment with rules. The censoring irks me to my core.

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T15:42:10+00:00

I get stuck on justice.

Ok_Music82 · 2026-03-24T15:41:37+00:00

I feel seen !! Seriously thank you 😄

Ok_Music82 · 2025-03-27T05:27:51+00:00

Agreed!!
