Hosts see your guest score on requests; guests see your host score on listings. Scores recover with good stays — one rough review never defines you.
"Builder, coffee snob, host of the garden loft. I move around for races and live music — quiet, early riser. Ask me where to eat in Austin."
"Best value in Austin, hands down. Dana's coffee tips were gold."
"Easy hookup, quiet street, host answered in minutes. Will crash again."
