![You CAN answer publically to reviews about you, even as a guest [Global]](https://external-preview.redd.it/rr5H_urdik1fczdox1Yq1Ujz0_8saFhtSnsSy6MXnyA.jpeg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=55c7ba73be07d3134499fc2b8998bb9f784ca837)
Hi, some of you may have seen that I couldn't get a retaliatory review taken down. There was some confusion about whether one can or can not leave a public reply. The consensus was, that, as a guest, you can't. It's a functions that quite hidden, for some reason, but this is where you can: https://www.airbnb.com/users/reviews?show_reviews_by_you=true
Tl;dr:
Airbnb relocated me and refunded me after I reported a dirty apartment with many broken amenities, zero functioning locks, and the host entering my room without permission.
After I moved out, the host falsely accused me of overstaying (first dispute), stealing and breaking €650 worth of stuff (second dispute).
Airbnb dropped her overstay claim and the €650 claim after I disputed it with evidence.
The last retaliatory thing she did, was leaving an extremely defamatory review accusing me of racism, theft, breaking house rules, etc. None of which are true, of course.
I already appealed twice, but Airbnb refuses to remove her review.
Honestly I dont know why a host gets to write a review about a guest that was relocated by Airbnb because of a policy violation by the host - why is that a thing? They even deleted her entire account/listing after everything that has happened. Why not her review of me?
I already spent many hours (10+) writing out my full report, curating the evidence and dealing with the fallout. I'm tired. Is there anything more I can do?

Long Version in the comments for anybody thats interested.
And her review as reference:
"Worst guest I've ever had! Don't accept him! He doesn't respect the host or the house rules! She brought visitors she knew she shouldn't, and she invaded my privacy! She broke and ruined a lot of things in the house! She showed no respect at all! She left the house filthy! In the bathroom, she always left the toilet disgusting, filthy and with feces! I would have a lot more to say, but it was so horrible that I don't have the energy! Just don't host her! Because she doesn't respect us or the rules! There's no care or empathy! And she still treats us like subjects, like slaves, as if she were superior! She paid for a great house and was welcomed with total affection, but she acted as if I were his subordinate! She treated me like a housekeeper! She was racist! And she still didn't respect the check-out time. She lacks humanity! Decency and ethics! A person with no quality. Horrible! Disappointing!"
