As an Airbnb host, leaving a guest review is really important. It helps the host community sort great guests from less desirable ones. But most importantly, leaving Airbnb host reviews is one of the easiest things you can do to obtain Superhost status. Unfortunately, leaving a review is one of those time consuming tasks. This is where Airbnb host review templates come in.
Why use templates for your Airbnb host reviews?
Using templates to leave guest reviews will save you time. Instead of drafting a unique response after each stay, you can copy/paste from a template and move on with your other tasks. Ideally, your templates should be gender neutral. This will save you from having to edit pronouns and avoid a mistake that could offend your guest.
While it’s not necessary, your review of the guest should also include an offer to return to the property. You put all this effort in to secure the booking and provide a great experience, so why not try a last ditched effort to get repeat visitors?
Caution: Avoid leaving the same review over and over. Airbnb’s algorithm will pick it up, and it could eventually affect your Superhost status. With the power of automation and the right software, you can randomize the templates (see below).

Learn how to automate your Airbnb host reviews
Tired of dropping what you’re doing just to review a guest? There’s a better way: automation. See how easy it is to automate Airbnb host reviews in this step-by-step guide.
With that said, let’s look at some of the most popular Airbnb host review templates:
Airbnb host review templates with no input variables
An input variable is data that your PMP pulls from an Airbnb reservation.
Since these review templates don’t use input variables, they can be used by any host or manager who copy/pastes reviews manually. It’ll be a less personable Airbnb review, but it’s great for hosts and managers who don’t use a PMP. Note that they’ll also work with a PMP that doesn’t support input variable fields:
- What a great guest to host! So easy to communicate with, and left the place clean and tidy. Would recommend to any other host and would welcome back at the property any time.
- We had such a great time hosting this guest. Everything went smooth, and left the place in good shape. Come back any time!
- 5 star review! Quiet, respectful, clean, and organized. What more could a host hope for?

Reviews that use the guest’s first name as an input variable
The review templates will pull the guest’s first name from the PMP. This will make your review more personable and increase your odds of repeat guests.
Note: Hostfully users will have to substitute [Guest First Name] with the string [$GUEST_NAME$]

Quirky Airbnb host review templates
We don’t think you should use any of these Airbnb review templates, but our writer got creative and we left them in to make him happy:
- If only Airbnb supported emojis for guest reviews, it would be unicorn, heart, sparkle. This guest is great and is welcome to stay in the future.
- As I’m typing this review, no words come to mind to describe how great this guest was. So I’ll do an interpretative dance (I know you can’t see it but it’s beautiful).
- I’ve seen the Taj Mahal, crossed the Grand Canyon and sailed the Seven Seas. But none of those experiences come close to how great it was to host this guest.
- If I were poetically inclined, I would make this guest review a haiku. That’s how great this guest was.
- Imagine this guest is peanut butter and your place is chocolate. That’s how great hosting this guest is going to be.
- This guest was so great, it makes me want to sell everything, pack a backpack and travel with him/her.
- The escargot was great, but what really knocked it out of the park was the lava cake. Oh wait, this isn’t Yelp?
- Seeing my child take its first steps paled in comparison to the joy I’ve had hosting this guest.
- For three years I’ve been toiling away on my vision board, hoping for the perfect guest. I can safely say that my dreams finally came true.
- This guest was so easy to host, that he/she is basically running this vacation rental for me. I’m not sure how that happened but I’m sort of ok.
