Hello @Vijaya25 👋

Welcome to the Community Center and thank you so much for asking our community of experienced hosts for a listing critique. I hope you don't mind, I added a photo and a link to your listing to your post.

I'm hoping that with all the info, more hosts will pop by and support you with constructive and helpful feedback. 

@Anne1778, @Jon5060 and @Jess2718, I wondered if you had a moment to offer some support to @Vijaya25? 

Thank you so much in advance 😊

@Vijaya25 

specifically the 4.5 star rating and the price jumps just doing 5 people.  For me a 4.5 rating and over 200 per night for my group of 5 is a high risk.

4.5 will effect Airbnb search ranking.  That negative review really hurt, you have to focus om repair.

check your market, discount your place best you can and not lose money.

i figure how much i can discount and split it .  lower price then Airbnb custom promotions.  if you can discount 20% on those promotions then Airbnb does some free promoting including email marketing..

turn on instabook that also gives you an Airbnb search plus.    When I use, I turn on for a week or two and change my notification days and minimum days to help prevent scammers.

4.8 overall rating is what you need to shoot for that is Airbnb minimum.
