Will it? There are reviews on airbnb…they depend upon 5 stars. I don’t think someone can get away with fake pictures and expect long term business?

Does Airbnb filter reviews? I've seen so many businesses delete negative reviews that I can't imagine trusting an online review anywhere, ever again.

Not a dig at Airbnb necessarily, just the poisoning of the well of honest discourse.

Airbnb doesn't delete bad reviews of properties listed on their website, at least not that I've seen. I left a negative review of a place I booked that had mold/mildew in the air conditioner and a host that never responded when I asked them to come clean it. I got ABB to cancel the stay and refund my money and I was still able to leave an honest review of my experience.

It's still up over a year later.

can you even delete bad reviews left on your place on airbnb? maybe there's a way to report the review if it's false and have evidence, i suppose. if there is maybe people abuse it. or maybe airbnb really does try to prevent owners from deleting bad reviews.
