"The Taxi Driver who drove me here was rude, so I'm giving you two stars for accuracy...." 
Super Host Math and Crazy D A Fictional Guest
SUPER HOST MATH
Lets assume a host had 9 guest who gave 9 reviews
9 guest times 6 categories?
one possible "Five" per category
54 possible Fives “
Five is the magic number”
They have been put in the untenable position of assigning value of the state and value of "the deal" based on Cleanliness, Check in , Value , Communication, Location and one more , what am i missing? Accuracy , right they all memorised "The More Details" section of the space description and no there is no rice cooker in the unit as described, i'll get you one though, promise!”
Example:
Crazy D. , my new best friend has been in town a week and had his teeth pulled for a nickel and a dime , been scuba diving underwater, 3 times in a day for the first time in 8 years , scored a bag of something from the a stranger at the door step, then changed 1K His Money to the local currency near the corner . Its now time to go home and he is toting a sack of illegal seashells, he wants to know if he can take them on as carry on luggage so they won’t be damaged . Crazy D. is sporting a new tattoo and he calls us for a ride to the airport. I let him know we were able to get the ink out of the 300 thread count percale sheets from “his new ink” and so and he won't have to come up with an extra 100 bucks but doesn't have a problem paying me anyway, I won't charge him , we got it out , but he should know the shells he was shopping , the one he called me about from the market are not worth taking a chance on , "your gifts will put you in jail Crazy D!!! "
"No worries mate" having been underground for a month mining iron ore , had a pocket full of money on arrival but running shy, D. loves his tattoo, his mouth is pain free and perhaps he met his soul mate. "Would I drop her at the pier on the way to the airport? " “Can do Dave, ten bucks na lang! "Won't have time to clean the kitchen though" , he tells me “ it reeks mate, a bloody mess” food from the local market from the cook out, cooked anything and ate most everything. My staff will go to that market alone but they will not bring a phone or a purse and they are not white and color matters. Not a problem Dave, we can handle it, bakings soda and lemon, a guy is gonna knock on your door to get your stuff into the car , we want to get you to the plane on time, can you be ready" ? " Yep Matey , I"ll be ready"
I think twice but say "Thanks Crazy D. , come back and visit Oi" I do like the guy or we got tested and survived, he is leaving and we learned to get ink out of sheets and baking soda and lemon is going work on the smell is my bet. I had fun and he has color but Crazy D is a train wreck that has not yet happened "come back okay" i say wondering if i'm putting too much stress on my system.
My Super Host Status meter is running , i don't know yet what a Super Host is but this is a game and my meter is going up, I only recently found the meter or else it only recently appeared on my Dashboard. I see the Superhost Demo Lady and think to myself; she surely would have declined crazy Dave after realising he couldn't make it through the verification process alone!
I do the math, i have digressed , 9 guest x 6 stars = 54 possible Five Stars. 72 percent of 54 possible stars , almost 40 five stars already! I figure Crazy D. and I like him is dyslexic, that the review will be a trying event for him to get through, it took him 2 weeks to verify his ID, will he make it through the review process in 14 days?
My Icon meter goes to 76 percent , it must have something to do with how clean and cheap it was maybe how fast I replied, I’m sure Dave rated us on the 6 criteria. My new best buddy gave me 6 more “Fives” and it puts me close to 46 out of 60 magic fives .
Crazy D. is a fictional character for whom i have genuine affection, he is from one side of a spectrum the numbers are also fake, and my math is most like wrong.
I identify with my fictional guest and not interested in putting anyone downrather decompressing.

Funny! I love your stories -- keep them coming!
Okay, you inspired me, now here is mine --- a story from the twilight zone between fiction and reality -- my guest "Monica" arrives, and I meet her outside, where she has her car parked in front of my house. I remind her that this block has 2 hour parking, and point out to her a spot down the street where she can park all day. She frowns, and comments "I didn't realize I couldn't even park in front of the house", and I begin to feel tense, recognizing the sinking feeling of being blamed for someone else's presumptions and/or failure to read the listing description fully.
But never mind, after a brief discussion, Monica seems to be coping, and I help her carry her luggage to her room. As I finish welcoming her, she tells me that her "client" Bridget is coming over for an hour this afternoon, for a hypnotherapy session. "I hope you don't mind." I stare at Monica, struggling to believe what I am hearing. "Monica, I dont' allow guests to have visitors, and I certainly don't allow my guests to do business or therapy sessions in my house! You said you read the house rules!" Monica blanches, and stumbles, "I did...but when you said no visitors, I assumed you meant no overnight guests...everywhere else I have stayed I have been able to have visitors over....look, I'm not a bad person...I dont' drink and I have been with my husband for 20 years...." The more Monica talks, the more I feel burdened by the deluge of irrational thinking...the longer she talks, the more complicated and elaborate a project it becomes to dig her out from her long list of illogical assumptions, and steer her right back to focusing on the words she actually read, as opposed to the multiple tangents she took when she dismissed my house rules at the same moment that she read them.
But eventually, after about a half hour of dialogue and pampering, and continued reassurances that I don't think she is a horrible person or a drunk, I manage to get Monica to see that what I wrote is actually what I mean. But I am left with a feeling that Monica is carrying some resentment, is still somewhat upset.
A day later, Monica is browsing Airbnb for her next place to stay as she travels to another city, and sees something she doesn't understand. "What is this Superhost thing?" she asks me one day in the kitchen, "I saw it on Airbnb." I briefly explain it to her, and after I do,she says to me, "I didn't realize guest's ratings were so important to hosts" and then I detect a hard, iron gleam in her eye, and she whirls around and trots off for the rest of her day.
After "Monica" leaves, I receive a feeble review, and then notice that my stars ratings have gone down from 76% 5-star ratings, to only 73%. Forget what stars ratings actually mean --- for a guest who's been reduced to a pouting child after being informed she is expected to act like an adult, stars ratings are a way to blame someone else.

I won't respond to this until I get through Horary Astrology in Wikipedia , my Aunt did spend time in Switzerland with the daughter and i'm currently focused on your hobby and will revisit this story.
I wasn't going to bring this up at the risk of incriminating myself and i also forgot how it came to topic, most likely i was manipulating a situation gone awry . But "Crazy D. i know you struggle to read and I know you struggle to write . Me too, no good , my most intimate relationships are with dogs , but i've known you a week and love you like a brother. When you get to the Star Part , the review, the part about us being brothers” Just fill In the the Blanks " "Make them Yellow" no need to over think things, that is how we do the check out here, the sun high and the moon is low cheers and thank you, i need a sandwich to before i digest your story .
