Calendar note missing from the calendar view

[Kartik23]

The calendar has now a dark theme and additional information. Which is good, however, now I cannot see my personal calendar notes against the booking!

@Kartik23 

Here is a screen shot of what @Mike-And-Jane0 reference when on the desktop hovering over the date with a note dot in multicalendar view.  Sadly, hovering over a date with a note dot in the regular calendar doesn't show the pop-up 😠. Bring back the at-a-glance notes view for the desktop on the regular calendar please!

[Mike-And-Jane0]

@Kartik23 My IT skills do not allow me to add a picture -sorry.

Anyway I have checked again and it only works on the multi-calendar not each listings monthly calendar. Do you have pro tools on which gives you this calendar?

[Joan2709]

Yaaayyy!  I was excited to check this out. Good catch!. Unfortunately the display is so small you can't really see much of the note. Have you figured out a way to see the whole note on phone/tablet?

Thanks

I am just chiming in on this topic to say that I too have relied heavily on seeing private notes on the calendar.  I spent an hour searching for a way to bring this back and was shocked that it was removed by design!

I could understand if it was due to lack of space on a smaller display, but I am working on a huge desktop screen and there is plenty of real-estate in each day for a note to be shown. 

I also vote for at least a "show private note" toggle.

Thank you. feedback sent This makes core & crucial part of business, significantly harder.  Much easier to miss things. We need notes front and centre to record critical information about particular dates/guest/bookings - so many things actually - why would this be hidden - a disastrous change - don't understand why.

I have just now also noticed this - and it's not good!! I also have notes for all the home football games and other events in my city to price accordingly just glancing at the month on the Calendar (which took plenty of time to add to the 6 months of events). Why did this basic feature disappear?

Hi, I see that the Community Center has marked this issue as answered and solved. Is this the case? Has Airbnb provided a solution to getting the notes back on the calendar?

[Bhumika]

Hi @Stephen384, The best answer is marked to let our members know that the calendar notes are not a glitch but are designed this way currently.

As you may see in the discussion, I have been taking notes of the feedback in this thread and passing them on to the Airbnb team. I also encourage you to share your feedback directly with the Airbnb Team as well through the  Feedback Form.

[Stephen384]

I am having the same problem. When I called Airbnb for help, they had no idea what I was talking about and explained that you can click on the date, and click on show notes in the sidebar. The only thing that's helpful is that a dot appears on each date with a note.

This strikes me as an attempt to align the graphics of the web app with the mobile app. Notes are not visible on the mobile app either.

Hi @Kartik23:!

Yikes! This is terrible! I really rely on those calendar notes appearing for a quick glance review. 

@Bhumika , @Paula , @Jenny @Quincy can you bring this to the attention of Airbnb? This is going to be a real problem for hosts.

Thank you!

[Kartik23]

Same here, this is how I track the Unit's HoA alignment.

[Bhumika]

Hi @Joan2709  thank you for tagging me here!

@Kartik23 , would it be possible for you to share a screen shot of the calendar view, so that I can have it confirmed if it is by design or a glitch?

Can you also help me know if you can see the notes when clicking on each individual booking? 

When there is a black dot, in the calendar, it means the Host has added a note. When clicking on the "dotted" dates, can you confirm if you see the notes? The calendar layout should show the dot, but you will need to click on the date to see or add the notes. 

Meanwhile, please feel free to add your feedback via the Feedback Form as well, if you would like to share your concerns with Airbnb directly.

I have the black dots and I know there’s notes on them but the only thing I get is “this date range has multiple notes” when I’m only clicking on one of the dates. I don’t know what these notes are but I do know that they are important that’s why I’m trying to access them. 

[Joan2709]

Hi @Virginia301 

Notes no longer appear on the calendar itself. Click on a date with a black dot (dot indicates there is a note). Then on the right panel you will see this (you may also see the word "various" if there are multiple notes or multiple dates selected.

Click the arrow and you will then actually see the note.  Alot more work than the previous functionality for notes. Also, be aware that once a date has past, you will no longer be able to see the notes.

Hello, 

I am not able to go back and review my notes in my calendar past dates. This is a huge problem as we need the information for lots of reasons. 

I need to review theses days and the notes but can not access we stay in the summer so block off... and need to see who in our family went which week. 

Is this going to  be resolved so that we can go back and look at our blocked off dates....

[Gene1069]

Greetings, what has changed in calendar?  Before my notes would ALWAYS show up on my Calendar and now I just have a black dot that I THEN have to click on and THEN AGAIN when it leads to "private notes" click on that and FINALLY it will show the note HOWEVER it has to be done on every single calendar day (date) requiring you to go through this process for every day for example if I block 2 weeks and want to make sure the black dot represents my note then I have to open with this process 14 times in a row!

[Janette-and-Herb0]

AGREE - the so called "upgraded" Calendar is totally unworkable and major step backwards! 😣  Bring back the original Calendar.

[David3915]

This is terrible. I can see the reason for reducing the clutter on a mobile device, but for those of us who manage listings on a desktop computer, this is a disaster. 

There is no reason not to show the notes when view on a desktop browser. 

[Joan2709]

Hi Bhumika:

Could really use your help on this....Here are screen shots of standard calendar view comparing previous and new. The new calendar doesn't show notes and requires you to click a dot on each date to see it. Hosts need the ability to see notes without clicking a dot!

Calendars are often shared via screen shot with cleaners and others and its important for notes to be visible!

[Bhumika]

Hi @Joan2709 , Thank you so much for helping with the screenshots and sharing your analysis of the calendar notes.

I will surely share your feedback with the Airbnb Team.

Meanwhile, please feel free to add your feedback via 

the Feedback Form as well.

What is the progress on the feedback you have given your team?

Absolutely insane that they took a seriously helpful feature away!! Please please please put the option of seeing your notes back!! PLEASE !!
