Co-authored by Arun Ghosh and Darlene Antonelli, MA

Last Updated: December 4, 2024

Airbnb is a service that lets people post their homes as rentable lodgings for travelers. Whether you enjoyed a pleasurable stay or need to warn others about unacceptable accommodations, you can leave a detailed review by signing in to Airbnb.com. If you're a host that wants to leave a review for your guest, you can also leave a review using the same method.

Steps

Go to https://www.airbnb.com/ in a web browser. You cannot use the mobile app to write or edit reviews, but you can log in to the website on your phone, tablet, or computer's web browser.
It's at the top-right corner of the screen.

Click the Reviews by you tab. After clicking this, the page will display all the past reviews you’ve written (under a "Past Reviews You've Written" header) as well as all the hosts or guests you’ve stayed with and are waiting to be reviewed (under the "Reviews to Write" header).
- You'll also have the opportunity to edit past reviews you've written in the "Past Reviews You've Written" section.

Give your feedback. To do so, select a user profile under the "Reviews to Write" header (it can be a guest or host account that you review). Write your review in the text field provided. Press "Enter" on your keyboard to submit the review.
- Keep in mind though that you need to complete an entire stay (from reservation to check-out) before you can write a review for it to be considered genuine and valid.

After writing a review, you can still edit it within 48 hours from the time of posting. Once the two days have passed, you can no longer go back and make changes to the review.^{[2]

Some questions you'll want to answer in your feedback as a host: Would you recommend the guest to other hosts? What was your experience like? Did guests leave their lodging clean? Did your guests respect your house rules? Did your guests communicate clearly with you?^{[3]
