You may have noticed some listings look a little different lately, either within the main listing page or when they show up in search results. That’s because we’re testing a few changes that we hope will make it easier for guests to learn about your space.
What’s being tested?
We’re looking at new ways to display important information to potential guests. Here are some of the changes we’re testing:
- Key details—like title and rating—will be displayed above your photos on the listing page
- New links will quickly take guests to reviews, photos, and your listing overview
- Your listing type, title, and price will show up more clearly in the search results page
Why is this test happening?
These changes are intended to help guests find the information they need more easily and to bring more design consistency across the platform. But before we roll them out to all users, we first want to understand how guests are responding—and tests like this are an important part of that feedback process.
Is my listing included in the test?
Most likely, yes, even if you haven’t noticed any changes. Your listing will only feature the updated look for some users (so one guest viewing it might encounter the new design, while another gets the old one).
Will my listing information change?
No. All listing information will stay the same—we’re simply testing a new way of displaying it, one that will give more prominence to the details that matter most.
How long will the test run for?
We’ll be monitoring the impact of these new designs anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to get results.
We know changes to the platform can sometimes be a little jarring, and we’re trying to be better about explaining the “why” behind them. Thank you for your ongoing support, and please let us know if you have any questions or feedback in the comments below.
