Listing is not showing on the Airbnb search platform. Listing was showing two days ago. 7 years super hosts.

Our listing hasn’t been showing for the last few days on Airbnb when you do a general search for our property in our area. We have been renting for seven years on Airbnb and our super hosts. We contacted Airbnb support with no help from them. or a listing is active, we have had a new rental two days ago, if you put in specific dates, our property will show that way. But do a general search and looking at properties in the area ours does not show. We can’t find out why. Thanks!

Hi @Cindy1754 😊, 

Thank you for asking this question here!

How is the situation now?

I’m tagging an experienced host who knows a lot about this: @Joan2709.

Would you be open to helping this host understand the topic better? Thank you in advance!

Warm regards 🌻,

Here is what I think is happening...

When you do a general search (no dates) Airbnb defaults to "any week". Airbnb says a week is "5days". Your calendar is pretty full with only one block of dates of 5days available end of May. The rest of your calendar has a few dates open after that, but not a 5day block. Your calendar is completely blocked starting Sept 1. If a guest does a general search, Airbnb will only display listings that have a 5day block available (any week). Hosts have been asking for a long time for Airbnb NOT to default a general search to a week (5days), as many listings will be excluded from results to no avail.

If a guest enters specific dates, and yours are available, then your iisting will appear.
