I have selected 'Entire space' but AirBNB is showing 'Room'

[Liz259]

It shows up in search with 'Room', 'Shared bathroom','Share space with others' - which is all wrong.
They have given this issue to the technical team, but does anyone know how to fix it quicker?

Hello @Liz259 , I did a search in our Community using the search bar at the top with the keyword "category," and found a few conversations where hosts shared similar experiences. 👉here is the link for you to have a look at those conversations. It seems that the fastest way is by contacting the Support Team.

I'm also sharing an article on 👉how categories work, which you may find useful.

Yes I also looked into how many others are in the same situation. I found a handful quite quickly. Stuck categorised as a 'Room' when they are an 'Entire place'. It is a huge disadvantage to be placed this way.

When we realised the long time lag of the weeks it would take for AirBNB tech team to correct this error, we created a duplicate listing and are now listed in 'Rooms' and 'Entire place'. We got 2 bookings that cover the rest of July and nearly the whole of August.
