Hi Airbnb hosts,
My last guest, a large man, opened my bedroom door at 5AM and proceeded to walk inside my bedroom in the dark.
I said I was sleeping. He didn't leave. I said I was with someone. He didn't leave. My boyfriend made it known that he was there, he still didn't leave. He walked over to our bed and stood next to us for a while before finally leaving. The next day he said, "Sorry, I didn't know you had company". I told him it didn't matter if I had company, the problem was him opening my bedroom door and walking into my room at 5AM. And then lingering.
Now it looks like I'm not able to block this person and I don't see an option to report this severe of a safety issue.
There needs to be a special place for reporting issues of safety or potential sexual assault/ rape, as these obviously should take priority.
I posted a review detailing the facts of what happened, without speculation, and I don't see it on his Airbnb page. I'm not sure if Airbnb took my review down from his page or if it just doesn't show until he also leaves a review for me or the review period is over. Could someone please answer this question for me? Do reviews usually get posted immediately?
I tried to reveiw my guest from last night so that I could see if it would immediately be up on his page, and I got the message "the review period is over", which seems like my account has been temporarily suspended from making reviews.
I originally posted a shorter version of this under the tag "block people" and some of his personal information was censored by Airbnb. Below is what they did not censor.
Thanks,
Katie
