To see Airbnb reviews, open your profile’s Reviews tab; on desktop you can also view feedback you’ve written.
Looking for your ratings and comments on Airbnb? This guide shows the fastest paths on desktop and mobile, where each type of feedback sits, and what to check if something seems missing. You’ll also learn how the 14-day window affects what appears on your profile and where to read private notes from guests or hosts.
Fast Paths To See Your Airbnb Reviews
Here are quick routes for both guests and hosts. Pick your role and device, then follow the path.
| Role | Where To Tap/Click | What You’ll See |
|---|---|---|
| Guest (Desktop) | Profile → Reviews → Reviews about you | Public reviews hosts left for you |
| Host (Desktop) | Profile → Reviews → From guests | Public reviews guests left about your hosting |
| Guest (iOS/Android) | Menu → Profile → Reviews | Reviews about you |
| Host (iOS/Android) | Menu → Profile → Reviews | Reviews about your hosting |
| Reviews You Wrote | Desktop/browser only: Profile → Reviews → By you | Your published reviews of hosts or guests |
Step-By-Step: Check Reviews On Desktop
For Guests
- Sign in on a web browser.
- Click Profile, then choose Reviews.
- Select Reviews about you to read what past hosts posted.
These entries live on your public profile. Anyone can read them once published. You can also search or sort reviews on many listing pages, which helps you scan details that matter to you, like internet speed or cleanliness terms the reviewer used.
For Hosts
- Sign in on a web browser.
- Click Profile → Reviews.
- Open From guests to read feedback about your stays.
You’ll find recent entries at the top. Open any item to read the full text and the star breakdown. You can post a public response under a published review. Keep it short and clear; write to the next guest as much as to the person who wrote in.
See Your Own Reviews: Where “By You” Lives
Many people look for their past write-ups after a trip. Those sit under the same Reviews area on desktop. Choose the tab that shows reviews you’ve written. On mobile apps, this view may not show; switch to a browser if you can’t find it. See Airbnb’s guide on how to find your reviews.
Viewing Airbnb Reviews On Mobile
iPhone (Guest Or Host)
- Open the app and tap the profile icon.
- Tap Reviews.
- Choose the section you need, like About you or From guests.
Android (Guest Or Host)
- Open the app and tap the profile icon.
- Tap Reviews.
- Pick the view that fits: About you or From guests.
If you can’t see a view you expect on the app, use a browser. The website exposes all review tabs, including the section that lists reviews you wrote.
What Shows Up And When
Airbnb posts feedback after both sides submit, or once 14 days pass from checkout. That timing controls when a note appears on your profile. Reviews linked to a reservation that never started don’t post, while some that were canceled on or after the first day can still appear.
Group Trips And Co-Guests
When a booking has several confirmed guests, the host’s note for the group can show on each person’s profile who joined the reservation with an Airbnb account. If you were only added informally and not linked as a confirmed guest, you may not see it on your page.
How To Find Private Feedback
Public star ratings and the main comment appear for everyone. Subcategory stars and the private note sit where only the recipient and Airbnb can view them. Hosts can see these under their quality views; guests see private notes attached to the related stay.
Fixing Missing Or Hidden Reviews
Not seeing a line you expect? Run through these checks.
Basic Checks
- Make sure 14 days have passed since checkout.
- Confirm you’re signed in to the right account, especially if you have more than one login.
- For group stays, ask who was set as the lead guest; the public note may sit on that person’s profile.
- Use a desktop browser if you’re trying to view what you wrote.
Policy Filters
Airbnb can remove entries that break its content rules or review policy. That includes biased exchanges, threats, or text that doesn’t reflect a real stay. If a line vanished and you think it broke a rule, you can request a review by the Help team.
Tips To Read Reviews Faster
- Use keyword search on listing pages to scan for phrases like “quiet,” “wifi,” or “parking.”
- Sort by newest to spot recent trends.
- Hosts: look across several months before reacting to a lone outlier.
- Guests: click through to the reviewer’s profile to learn how they travel (solo, with kids, with pets).
Where Each Review Type Appears
This chart shows what you can see and where to find it.
| Review Or Rating | Who Can See It | Where It Appears |
|---|---|---|
| Public review text | Everyone | Your public profile and the listing page |
| Overall star rating | Everyone | Your public profile and the listing page |
| Subcategory stars (cleanliness, accuracy, etc.) | Recipient and Airbnb | Host quality dashboards; host only |
| Private note | Recipient and Airbnb | Attached to the related stay |
| Reviews you wrote | You and anyone viewing the listing you reviewed | Your profile → Reviews → By you; also under the listing |
| Group stay note | All confirmed guests on the reservation | Each confirmed guest’s profile |
Clear, Short Responses Build Trust
Sometimes you’ll want to reply to a comment. Keep your tone calm and factual. Thank the reviewer, state any fix you made, and invite the next guest to reach out if they need that detail checked again. That kind of reply helps future readers and keeps the record balanced.
Best Practices For Hosts
Make Reviews Easy To Read
- Use a short template to answer common points: access, cleanliness, noise, and check-out.
- Respond to repeated notes with a clear fix, then point to the change in your listing.
- Keep pictures fresh so new reviews match what guests see on arrival.
Use Private Notes
The private note is great for small asks that don’t need to live on your public page. Say thanks, add context, or suggest a tip you’ll act on. Many guests appreciate that tone.
Best Practices For Guests
- Scan a host’s review history over time, not just the top entry.
- Open a few past stays that match your trip type, like “with kids” or “with pets.”
- If a single line feels off compared with the rest, weigh the pattern more than the outlier.
Direct Links You Can Save
Your public profile shows reviews about you and links to the reviews you wrote. Open your profile on a browser, copy the address bar, and save it. You can share that link with a guest or a friend who wants to see your track record.
Sorting And Searching Reviews
On many listing pages you can filter the visible reviews. Use the search box to find words that match your needs, then sort by newest or by rating. This speeds up the scan when a place has hundreds of entries.
Rules That Shape What You See
Two rules shape the system. First, both sides get 14 days after checkout to write in. Second, entries post only after both submit or once the 14-day window ends. Text that breaks content rules or that isn’t tied to a real stay can be removed. Learn more from Airbnb’s reviews for homes.

When Your Review Doesn’t Appear
Still missing? Match your case to these fixes.
The 14-Day Window Is Still Open
Nothing shows until both sides submit or the window closes. Wait until the end of day 14 from checkout.
You Aren’t The Lead Guest
On group trips, the host’s note can land on the lead guest’s profile. If you didn’t join the reservation with your own account, it won’t attach to you.
The Stay Never Started
When a place is canceled before check-in day, neither side can post. Some stays that end on or after the day of check-in still allow reviews; those can appear once posted.
Policy Removal
Entries that break Airbnb rules can be removed. If you think a line was taken down by mistake, contact Airbnb with the link to that entry and the reservation code.
Write Better Reviews So Others Can Use Them
Your words guide future bookings. Mention concrete details: wifi speed readings, street noise at night, mattress type, water pressure, check-in clarity, parking notes. Hosts can cite changes they made so new guests see progress.
Keep Your Profile Healthy
- After each trip, set a reminder to leave a review within the 14-day window.
- Reply to any fair critique with a short fix.
- Update listing photos or house rules if the same note pops up twice.
- Flag content that breaks policy; the Help team can review it.
