Need help in getting more bookings

Our Airbnb is down significantly from last year. We do not have any bookings at all. Last year was our first year doing this and for some reason at the beginning of the year no new bookings have occurred. Last year at this time we would have two or three weekends full for January and February and March

With Airbnb your traffic effects how high (First Page) your listing is shown.  no rentals is no traffic and waiting too long can push your listing to like page 5 or 6 so lower visibility.  We need to fix visibility first then you can determine if price is an issue.  Value had a good rating so I don't think so.

You have to regularly make changes to your ad. The Airbnb computer looks at that plus the market changes.  Weather, events show you are aware.

I see you had many guests with pets.  You don't have a pet fee make guests aware.  I also provide use of a doggy bed nd dishes sort of like offering a highchair.

In your ad make mention why good for pets.

Use Airbnb Custom Promotion if you can offer a 20% discount then Airbnb gives you free marketing.  It also will give you a higher ranking in Airbnb Search

Use your Airbnb Insights Menu that helps you see if clicks or o clicks.  No clicks is try changing title and cover photo.  If clicks but no conversions then price or ad.  Reviews are great.
