Not able to Relist my property

Why I’m Struggling to Relist My Property on Airbnb

Hosting on Airbnb has been an exciting journey for me. I listed my property just a month ago and welcomed four wonderful guests in that short time. Each experience brought its own charm, and I was eager to continue hosting. However, I recently faced an unexpected hurdle—I’m unable to relist my property on Airbnb.

What Happened?
After hosting four guests successfully, I decided to temporarily pause my listing to make some minor improvements. Once everything was ready, I tried to relist my property, but for some reason, it hasn’t been possible. Despite multiple attempts, the platform isn’t allowing me to make the listing active again.

Steps I Took to Resolve the Issue
Determined to fix the problem, I took the following steps:

1. Contacted Airbnb Support:
I reached out to Airbnb’s customer support team, explaining the situation in detail. While the team was polite and responsive, they didn’t provide a clear solution or explain why my listing couldn’t be relisted.


2. Reviewed the Listing Details:
I thoroughly checked my listing to ensure everything was updated, including photos, descriptions, and house rules. Everything appeared fine, but the issue persisted.


3. Checked Airbnb Policies:
I carefully read Airbnb’s guidelines to see if I had unknowingly violated any rules. Since I had hosted four clients without any complaints or issues, I couldn’t pinpoint anything that might have caused this.

 

Possible Causes
While Airbnb hasn’t provided clarity, I’ve considered a few possible reasons:

Technical Glitch: It could be a bug in the platform preventing me from relisting.

Policy Issue: Perhaps there’s a minor detail in Airbnb’s policies I overlooked.

Client Feedback: Even though my guests were happy, if someone flagged an issue, Airbnb might have placed my listing under review.


The Frustration of Waiting
The uncertainty has been challenging. Hosting isn’t just about earning income—it’s about creating a welcoming space for travelers and sharing local experiences. Not being able to relist my property has disrupted my plans and left me feeling stuck.

What’s Next?
I’m continuing to work with Airbnb to resolve the issue. If the problem persists, I might explore other platforms like Booking.com or Vrbo to ensure my property remains available to guests.

A Word to Fellow Hosts
If you’re facing similar issues, know that you’re not alone. Always document your hosting journey, follow Airbnb’s policies closely, and don’t hesitate to escalate your concerns if support doesn’t resolve them quickly.

Hosting is a journey of learning, and while setbacks like these can be frustrating, they’re also opportunities to grow and adapt.

Just to clarify...

 

You went to relist your property by:

 

- Listing Editor

- Click 3 lines upper right

- Then click "Listing Status"

- Click "Listed"

Did the system not allow you to choose "Listed"?

 

Yes I tried it but it gives msg your listing cannot be published please contact coustmer support for more information 

@Vikas75 

Then only Airbnb can provide information as to why your listing can't be published. I did note some negative reviews from other Hosts on your Guest profile. 

Sorry but i am just 1 month old on Airbnb and just attended 4 guests one of them is given very positive review on my profile 

@Vikas75 

We can only see your "Guest" profile since you don't have an active listing and we're not able to see what your reviews were as Host. Your guest profile has some negative reviews.

 

You'll have to continue working with Airbnb regarding getting your listing re-activated. 

It was not my profile actually it was listed on my daughter profile later i change it my profile with email id **
