Timing matters: send a review request within 24–48 hours after checkout while the stay is fresh but guests have had time to decompress. This pack gives four distinct tones you can paste and send immediately. Use the Short Ask when you want fast, low-effort replies; the Warm + Personalization variant when you can mention something specific from the stay (it boosts review detail); the After-Positive-Stay message for guests who already gave praise in person or by message; and the After-Issue-Resolved note for situations where something went wrong but you fixed it and want an honest, fair review. Be straightforward — honest feedback is more useful than pressuring for five stars. Replace placeholders like {{guest_name}}, {{property_name}}, {{host_name}}, {{personal_detail}}, {{issue_description}}, and {{resolution}} before sending. Keep messages short, sincere, and specific when possible — a quick personal line (what they enjoyed) increases the chance of a helpful review.
Airbnb Review Request Templates
Four copy-ready messages to request an honest Airbnb review 24–48 hours after checkout — short ask, warm personalized note, post-positive follow-up, and fair-review after an issue.
This pack contains four ready-to-send review-request templates to use within 24–48 hours after checkout. Use the short ask for quick follow-ups, the warm template to prompt a personal detail, a version for guests who loved the stay, and a fair-review request for stays where an issue was resolved.
Short ask
Hi {{guest_name}},
Thanks again for staying at {{property_name}}. Hope you had a smooth trip home after checking out on {{check_out_date}}. If you have a minute, a quick review of your stay would really help — thank you!Warm + personalization hint
Hi {{guest_name}},
It was a pleasure hosting you at {{property_name}}. I hope you enjoyed {{personal_detail}} — guests often mention it in their reviews and it helps others decide if this place is right for them.
If you have a couple minutes, would you share a few lines about your stay? Honest specifics (what you liked or what could be better) are incredibly useful. Thanks so much, {{host_name}}After positive stay
Hi {{guest_name}},
Thanks again for your kind words during checkout — I loved hosting you at {{property_name}}. If you’re able, would you post a short review mentioning what you enjoyed? Positive reviews make a big difference for small hosts and help future guests know what to expect.
Please be honest — you don’t need to give five stars unless you truly feel it. I appreciate your time, {{host_name}}After issue resolved — fair review ask
Hi {{guest_name}},
Thank you again for your patience with {{issue_description}} at {{property_name}}. I’m glad we were able to {{resolution}} while you were here.
If you feel we handled it fairly, would you consider leaving an honest review noting both the problem and how it was resolved? Fair, balanced feedback helps us improve and gives future guests a realistic picture of how we respond to issues. Thank you for taking the time, {{host_name}}Pick the template that fits the guest’s experience and tweak the placeholders to add a small personal touch. Keep requests brief, sincere, and specific — guests are more likely to reply if you reference one detail from their stay. Don’t pressure for five stars; ask for honest feedback and thank them for their time. If you don’t hear back in a week, a single polite reminder is fine, but avoid repeated follow-ups.
