Yes. I had a nightmare Airbnb over new years (had to leave because my health was deteriorating) but couldn't leave a bad review because of course i'd get one back in retaliation.


The owner can't see your review until after they review you. But, that won't stop future owners from seeing your bad review.


I think op is saying that they were given another airbnb to replace the bad one, and in doing so, you lose the ability to review the first, bad location.


No we were not. The host knew we were mad at the state of her house, any review made on our part would trigger her retaliation (as she would assume correctly it wouldn't be positive).
