Listing does not appear on Map

When I search for my listing on the map even without any dates at all it simply does not appear.

Your listing doesn't appear to have any availability until mid-June, you have a 28-night minimum and only one review, so it's not likely to appear prominently in searches right now, especially if you search without dates.

 

Also, the map view won't show all the listings in a general area, it just shows a selection based on what the algorithm decides to highlight. I don't see my listings on the map unless I zoom in on my street, and even then, one is hidden underneath another so literally no one is going to find that if they are only using the map view.

 

None of us really understand how the algorithm decides but there are a number of factors at play. It can be availability, popularity, ratings, price etc. and new listings also get a boost for a short period so will appear higher. 

 

However, when I searched for six guests for one month in June, your listing showed up straight away on the map, so it is there. Guests just might need to be quite specific in their searches to find it.
