Hello!
Can it be that Airbnb would only give priority to those who religiously follow their advises, like hiring a photographer from them, hiring a co-host, etc.? For me, i would like to do things my way because i am employed and having to engage myself with these things would just add up to my responsibilities and stress. I cannot attend to all their demands or suggestions.
At first, i got guests right away on the same week, but when Airbnb started to push me on something that they suggest like to hire someone to take pictures of my condo details which I didn’t follow, my listings never ever have guest booking again. I can see that my pictures are just fine, and I don’t want to overdo things….that would already seem deceptive to the guests.
I have experienced booking with Airbnb in different countries and got frustrated because the actual setup was not the same with what was on the pictures. That is why i do not want my pictures to appear like paintings which i see in other listings.
Now, Airbnb is suggesting many things, but i cannot get in touch directly to their customer service. I am very busy, and i feel that they would like me to keep on reading and follow them. But, of course, I would see to it that my guests are happy with their stay.
Then, i lowered down my price to see if it’s the reason why i got no bookings. But, nothing changed.
And, my listings won’t show up when browsing using different airbnb guest accounts.
We feel that there is something that is beyond our control.
