My listing bookings have gone down more than 50% in a matter of weeks. What can I do? I would really hate to have to let it go.

Probably because you have dropped in the Airbnb rankings because you have an average 4.63 rating @Z38

Hey @Z38 ,

After some overview of your listings, a 50% drop in a few weeks usually isn't the listing dying, it's your new-listing search boost expiring right as Vegas hits its brutal July low season, so don't panic or fire-sale. Both listings have fixable issues though.
Viva Studio reads as a whole unit when it's really a private room with a shared kitchen, so rename it to match.
On Calm, you're stuck at 2 reviews and Airbnb won't show a star rating until 3, which makes you nearly invisible, so price aggressively to fill the next couple weekends and get that third review fast.
Hope this helps.

@Sarwar7 It's not a private room. It's a studio apartment with a private bathroom. But thank you for the help!

The shared kitchen is just shared between 4 separate studios.

@Z38 
Fair enough, and that actually matters for your fix. The issue is that Airbnb still lists it publicly as "Private room in rental unit" with a shared kitchen, which is what guests see and filter on, so even though it's a private studio, the category and the "shared kitchen" line are quietly scaring off solo travelers who want full privacy.
Make that shared-between-4-studios detail crystal clear right at the top of your description and in the photos so people understand they aren't sharing their actual living space.
If the listing type itself is miscategorized, message Airbnb support to get it corrected, since being filed under "private room" instead of the right studio category costs you visibility with the guests actually searching for what you have.
