Your issue is the rating below 4.8 which is the Airbnb Standard Rating. I can see it was that one Guest, now you have to combat that score. Other reviews are good but yes ugly reviews happen to everyone.
Okay Airbnb Search is not promoting 4.5 so you need to exercise some ways to put your listing in view again.
If you turn on Airbnb Instabook that can push your ad up. It is something that can be turned on and off. I set my notice usually higher so I have time to vet .
Airbnb Custom Promotions if you can do a 20% discount then Airbnb does like 4 free marketing things for you.
Also remember the Airbnb Computer is looking at dates updated. Not every day haha but frequently make updates.
Also try for general internet traffic. Internet search engines do read the Airbnb Website often. Airbnb Guidebooks photo captions and your ad sprinkle "Keywords".

Our bookings are still down since November. We have done everything it seems and nothing we do has increased bookings (updating photos, promotions, discounts, etc). What else is there?
We have noticed that ever since the professional photographer was here a while back and she placed the living room as the cover photo that it is unremovable. We keep trying to place the room/bed as the cover photo but it never shows up. Photos—> Set as cover—>Save, and should be set. Right? What are we doing wrong?

Interesting! 🤔
@Joan2709 is really good at explaining how the settings for the listing photographs work. Is there something that we're missing with @Andrea8411's listing?
Thanks so much in advance.

Hi Theresa, I was having the same issue for a couple of months.
I updated the photos and descriptions and added a 10% discount for weekly stays. I don’t know if that worked , but I did start getting bookings again.
Maybe it’s time for an update on your listing. Also, try running a promotion for a couple of weeks.
I hope this helps.

Hi The photos are a bit underwhelming , scratched table top etc. Spend a bit of money to upgrade I understand why you have a 3 day minimum to reduce cleaning work on a larger listing but get rid of the 3 day minimum, try 2 day minimum weekends and 1 day mid week. There is a longer lead time for bigger properties, consider renting on a room by room basis if its not booked for the following 2 weeks. Your reviews are good but spoiled by the 1 star review , I would have made some carefully worded response to that but it's too late now. If it was me I would upgrade the property decor take professional photos and start again with a new listing.
