Where to Find Your Rating on the Airbnb App or Website
Your Airbnb rating appears on your profile, which you can view from any device where you are logged in. On the mobile app, tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner, then select "Profile." On the web version, click your profile photo in the top right, then choose "Profile" from the menu. Your overall rating displays prominently near the top of your profile page, shown as a number out of 5 with a star icon next to it.
The rating you see is your average score from all the reviews hosts have left after you stayed at their properties. This number updates automatically whenever a new review is posted. You will also see a breakdown showing how many reviews you have received in total, which helps hosts understand the volume of feedback you have accumulated.
Key Takeaways
- Your rating is visible on your profile under the profile icon on mobile or your profile photo on the web version.
- The rating shown is an average of all host reviews, updated automatically each time a new review is posted.
- You can read the full text of individual reviews by scrolling through your profile's reviews section.
- Hosts can see your rating before deciding whether to accept your booking request.
- Your rating typically appears 48 hours after checkout, once the host has had time to leave a review.
Reading Individual Reviews About Your Stays
Below your overall rating on your profile page, you will find a section labeled "Reviews" that lists every review a host has written about you. Each review shows the host's name, the property name, the date you stayed, and the text of their feedback. You can scroll through this list to see what hosts have said about your behavior as a guest.
Reviews are displayed in reverse chronological order, with the most recent at the top. If a host left a review with a lower rating, you can read their specific comments to understand what went wrong during that stay. This information is useful for understanding how hosts perceive you and what you might adjust on future bookings.
Understanding What Your Rating Means to Hosts
Hosts use your rating to decide whether to accept your booking request. Most hosts will not accept guests with ratings below 4.5 stars, and some set their minimum at 4.7 or higher. A rating of 5 stars means you have received only perfect reviews. A rating of 4.8 or above is generally considered strong and will not limit your booking options significantly.
Your rating is one of several factors hosts consider. They also look at the number of reviews you have, whether you have a verified ID, and your written profile. A guest with 50 five-star reviews will be accepted more readily than a guest with only one five-star review, because the larger sample size suggests consistency.
When Your Rating Appears After a Stay
After you check out from a property, the host has up to 14 days to leave you a review. In practice, most hosts leave reviews within 48 hours. Your rating will not update until the host actually submits their review—it does not appear automatically on checkout day. If a host does not leave a review within 14 days, the window closes and they cannot review that stay.
You will receive a notification when a host has left a review, either through email or the Airbnb app, depending on your notification settings. You can check your profile at any time to see if a new review has been posted, even if you have not received the notification yet.
How to Respond to Reviews
Once a host has left a review, you have the option to write a response to it. Click on the review and select "Reply" to add your own comment. Your response appears directly below the host's review on your profile. Responses are useful if you want to clarify something the host mentioned or thank them for their feedback.
Keep your response professional and brief. Avoid arguing with the host or making excuses. If a host left critical feedback, a calm, respectful response shows other potential hosts that you take their concerns seriously. You can edit or delete your response at any time, but once a host sees it, they will have already read the original version.
Checking Your Rating on a Listing You Are Interested In
Before you submit a booking request, you may want to know whether the host will accept you based on your rating. Some listings display the host's minimum rating requirement in the listing description or house rules section. If the requirement is not listed, you can contact the host directly through the messaging feature to ask whether your rating meets their standards.
If your rating is lower than a host's requirement, you will not be able to book that property—the system will prevent you from submitting a request. In this case, your only option is to wait for your rating to improve through positive reviews on future stays, or to look for listings with lower rating thresholds.
Improving Your Rating Over Time
Your rating improves when hosts leave positive reviews. To encourage good reviews, communicate clearly with hosts before and during your stay, follow house rules, keep the property clean, and leave it in the condition you found it. Respond promptly to any messages from the host, and if a problem arises, address it respectfully rather than ignoring it.
If you receive a low review, it will affect your overall rating, but the impact decreases as you accumulate more reviews. A single one-star review out of 50 total reviews has less weight than a single one-star review out of five total reviews. Over time, consistently positive stays will bring your average rating back up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see my rating before I book a property?
Yes. Go to your profile and look at the number displayed next to your name and profile photo. This is the rating hosts will see when you send them a booking request. You can check it anytime before you search for properties.
What if a host leaves a review but I do not see it on my profile?
Reviews can take a few hours to appear on your profile after the host submits them, even though you receive a notification when ready. Refresh your profile page or close and reopen the app. If more than a few hours have passed and the review still does not appear, contact Airbnb support through the app or website.
Can I remove or hide a bad review?
No, you cannot remove reviews that hosts have left. However, you can respond to the review to provide your perspective. If you believe a review violates Airbnb's policies—for example, if it contains abusive language or personal information—you can report it to Airbnb, and they will investigate.
Does my rating affect the price I pay for bookings?
No. Your rating does not change the nightly rate of a listing. However, a low rating may prevent you from booking certain properties because hosts can set minimum rating requirements. This limits your options but does not increase the cost of properties you can book.
How often does my rating update?
Your rating updates automatically each time a host submits a new review. There is no delay in the calculation—as soon as the review is posted, your average rating recalculates to include it. You will see the new number on your profile when ready.
