There needs to be an independent outsider that can give uniform and unbiased reviews. i.e. Michelin reviews for airbnb. Question is how many people are willing to pay for these.

You could imagine a network of trust, where some people have more trust than others. And there could be clusters where people with a lot of trust are not necessarily trusted by everyone. So this would be more general than a central authority like Michelin.

Isn’t that Consumer Reports? Although Airbnb listings are too extensive for them to independently review.
Edit: I suppose they could step in and evaluate it as a platform and validate whether issues get addressed.
