I’m glad you & your family are safe.

A couple things to know. Airbnb pays hosts after the guest has been happily in the rental 24 hours. Payment processes next day or soon after.

Airbnb has strict guidelines for reviews. Only if violated will they remove a review. After a review is posted neither host nor guest can have it removed. https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/2673/airbnbs-review-policy

I suspect in your effort to warn others you may have violated the content policy.

How did you contact Airbnb? Telephone? Twitter-@Airbnbhelp? Or Facebook? If your trip was less than 30 days ago, try contacting Airbnb on Twitter @airbnbhelp. You can report problems for up to 30 days after the trip ends. Keep asking for help so they can kick the thief off their platform.

People who had genuine hospitality skills and appreciation for people were hosting and the guests were very appreciative. They often brought host gift from their native land and a tour of the neighborhood and perhaps an evening of cocktails in or out of the residence was standard. Now, both sides are shady as hell and true hospitality professionals steer clear of the platform because of dishonest guests and scam artists “hosts” reign supreme. I WILL NEVER USE OR RECOMMEND THE PLATFORM AGAIN.
