How soon after a guest leaves can I leave a review

[Mike461]

I'm new to Airbnb hosting and want to get my reviews going. My first guest has been and gone and I want to leave a review but the option is not there yet. Is there a specific time after checkout that the guest appears in the review list so I can do that?

thanks

Mike

No, it doesn't appear at any specific time, the system generates an email which prompts you to write a review, @Mike461. There used to be links in our dashboards, but Airbnb's improvements have gone the wrong way.

@Mike461 Generally the review window opens 24 hours after the check out time on your listing and lasts for 14 days.  I would advise that you not be too eager to leave a review.  I always wait until my space is thoroughly cleaned and ready for my next guests before I leave a review for my last guest.  This way I don't run into any surprises  after I have left a review.  Be careful writing reviews as once host and guest have left reviews or the 14 day window expires, there is no way to go back to revise a review.

Thank you Clare, that is very good tip. I myself have rushed into leaving a 5 star review, only to find out towels were missing and the toilet was clogged!
