New Photo Tour room order settings

Hey there,

 

I have recently switched to the Winter 2023 updated dashboard and 'listings' tab. While I appreciate most of the new functions and the improved user experience - I have not found a way to adjust which 'space' is highlighted first in the new photo tour layout.

 

The default setting that I have not figured out how to adjust has the kitchenette/kitchen appearing first and then bedroom, bathroom. Has anyone figured out how to re-order these spaces in the photo tour?

 

I do not want my kitchenette to be the first photo that is viewed when a guest opens my listing page. With first impressions being so important with guest views - we should be able to adjust the photo tour to have any space show up as the first space in the photo tour.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! If the setting to change the order of the photos doesn't currently exist, does anyone if a feedback forum to developers exists on this platform?

 

Thank you kindly,

Maja

Hello @Maja281,

 

I am having the same problem. I plan to try deleting one of the rooms completely and then see if it goes to the bottom of the "stack" when I readd it. If someone sees this before I have a chance to try it, would be great to know if this method works.

 

Cheers,

Ken

@Kenneth522 If u delete a room, it is supposed to go back to old format….

That method does not work. It adds it in the same order. They have clearly predetermined that the Living room space supersedes all other spaces, even though that is the least interesting space in our home. Nice, but not what we want to highlight.

There is a workaround to remove the photo tour and go back to a grid system where you can place photos in the order you want:

 

Delete Photo Tour - Workaround
The workaround is that the tour will not work if there is not at least one photo in each room. If you move all the photos say out of the dining room to addl photos, the tour is "deleted." However, DO NOT remove photos from the bedroom(s) Room(s), or living room if you have a sofa bed there. This is because the system uses the "sleeping arrangements" and type of bed to populate your subtitle that shows the number of bedrooms. The system also uses the Bedroom Room to populate the "where you'll sleep" photos on the listing, so keep your photos in that room on the tour.

Then click the "All photos" at the top of the page and all your photos will appear in a grid. Simply drag and drop the photos where you want them to appear on the listing and in what order. Be aware Airbnb will continue to have pop-ups encouraging you to revert back to the photo tour. Simply say "No Thanks."

 

 

 

Thank you for the help, much better!
