The main challenge when publishing a bad review is timing. You want to wait to publish it, as it may encourage the guest to post a negative review in return. This is why we created a feature called Bad Review. The Bad Review feature is available for all reviews once they have been scheduled and before they are published. A review is scheduled by Airbnb sometime near the end of a guest’s stay or after they check out and closes 14 days later.
Marking a review as a ‘Bad review’ will reschedule it to 20 seconds before the review period is due to expire. You will still have to edit the message and star rating manually.
