@Emilie A specific data point for feedback .
If you search by 'category' for a week in Norfolk (UK) for 10 guests in June, July, August (peak holiday season) using 'beaches' you'll get hardly any results for Norfolk.
Norfolk has some amazing beaches including 6 Blue Flag quality beaches.
But the Airbnb machine learning algorithm would rather send you to Essex, Suffolk, Kent (or even as far away as Belgium if you search for 4 guests!) to find a 'beach'. Not so handy if you wanted a beach holiday in Norfolk as you originally searched.
But change your category to 'Surfing' and all the amazing Norfolk beach properties turn up Including ours).
Where do you surf? Yes, you guessed it, at the 'beach'. As a host I know the families who book us via Airbnb are looking for beach holidays, not surfing holidays.
It would really help hosts (and Airbnb who earn from hosts) if you looked at switching 'surfin' back to beach. Surfers know they go to the beach to surf.
I hope this specific feedback helps. I have live chatted with a helpful agent who has also 'noted' my concerns.
