I was disappointed that as a long term user of Airbnb, they deleted my review of our “host” but decided that his review of us, was quite reasonable and fair.

I like to think that decision has cost Airbnb a lot of money. Not only the commission they have lost from us not using them anymore, but also the amount lost from all those people I am continuously warning about Airbnb. There are many other operators in the market now, see top of this page.

Long story short. I booked a place about four weeks in advance, for my wife and I to stay for just two days.
After we booked, the location changed (which was why we took about 2 hours to find it) all the photos changed and the description changed as well. Even the host turned out to have a fake name and when challenged about everything, became abusive and threatening.
Airbnb encouraged me to leave a review, in which I mentioned all the above.
In return, the host said that we had smeared excrement over his walls, stolen some of his property and broken a whole list of things.
Somehow he managed to have our review removed and he continued to host.
The review on our page is still there, as Airbnb refused to remove it.
We joined Airbnb in 2008, but have not used their “service” since this incident happened last year
