Request a Review
Guests are also encouraged, but not obliged, to review their hosts upon the completion of their stay. Airbnb will send them a notification reminding them and encouraging them to do so – but the guest is still able to ignore these requests should they so choose.
Writing a personal note at the completion of the stay – especially one that kindly requests the completion of the review process and emphasizing the criticality of reviews as being the lifeblood of hosting on Airbnb – will provide an additional and personalized impetus for the guest to do so.
You’re also able to let the guest know that you’ll be positively reviewing them, which should hopefully result in a reciprocal positive review from them to you too.
Being strategic with the timing of reviews is covered in greater detailhere.
