Host let a nasty review and now every host is declining my request to book [USA]
My first time booking an airbnb was terrible. The accommodation was fine but then the host accused me of damage that I did not do (damaging their yard, I implore they check their cameras but they had already posted their review of me and did not update it) I responded to their review and also left a fair and factual review on the host's. The bigger problem is that it was my first and only review. I attempted to book for an upcoming vacation 3 times, and all 3 times the hosts have declined which I can only assume is due to my rating. The third time, I tried to explain the situation beforehand but they still ended up declining. Can I delete my account and make a brand new one? I attempted to have airbnb remove the review but they also denied me LOL. My account is basically useless now. What can I do?
Update: Ended up deleting my account and making a new one. Had already reached out to the host, but left on read. Didn’t want the headache of dealing with customer support again. Was able to verify ID and make a booking!
