Our two-way review system allows for both guests and hosts to rate their whole experience after the stay is completed. To be sure that all reviews on our site are unbiased and truthfully reflect each experience, our review process prevents guests and hosts from viewing one another’s rating before it is live and prevents each party from editing their rating afterward. This means that once a review is submitted, neither party will be able to see it until both parties submit a review or until the 14-day submission period ends, whichever comes first.
- To be eligible to review a property, a guest must be over 18 years old and must book and pay for the stay through our website. See full guidelines for details.
- After a stay is complete, guests and hosts receive an email with a link to review their experience. Only one member of the rental party can leave a review.
- Hosts can also review guests in their Marketplace Feed and Reviews page, and guests can submit reviews through their traveler profile.
- A guest and a host can submit a review up to a year from the date of stay, however, if one party provides their review at any point prior, the other party has 14 days to write their review.
- Neither party will be able to see each other’s ratings until both have submitted their review or until the submission period of 14 days has ended.
- A review cannot be edited once it has been submitted. If the reviews meet all other Content Guidelines, they will be published. However, if a star rating doesn’t match the content of the review, a correction can be requested up to 60 days after submission.
- Hosts can respond to a guest's review but may not review the property themselves.
- If a host or a guest wants to remove a review that they submitted, they can contact our Customer Service team and ask to get it removed. However, they will not be able to resubmit a new review because they are able to view their counterpart’s rating.
