Apparently Airbnb will delete any review that criticizes a property for something the property owner can't fix. Loud traintracks with trains blasting by at 3am every morning? That's not the property owner's fault, so that's a bad review.

As if reviews exist only to give constructive feedback to property owners, rather than to warn other renters away from a bad experience!

"Property owner has not done enough to soundproof the unit against nearby train noise"

“Apartment is great for early risers!” = it’s on a city bus route that rattles the windows

“Interesting locals in the area!” = homeless people on your doorstep
