Doesn't appear in my search

Hello my listing doesn't appear when I search in my town

Hi @Bonga12 

If it's a brand new listing it can take up to 72 hours to show in search results. 

You can perhaps just check your listing set-up. At the moment your listing is described as a "Room". 

On Airbnb this type of property set-up usually refers to a room inside someone's house that is made available to guests as a "homestay".

If yours is a traditional South African guesthouse (in other words, a commercial property with multiple rooms available to the public), you should ideally choose Guesthouse as the property type and list each room separately.

Hi @Bonga12!  👋

Thank you for sharing your concern! It usually takes up to 72 hours for it to appear. Shelley also mentioned this in her answer, and I can already see the listing in your profile. Did you check it?👀

Let us know if this helped!
