Not showing weekend availability when weekends are available

Hi there, this is my 2nd year in my AIRBNB venture, and this year I have the problem that my lake cabin (bookings available seasonally from May through October) does not show weekend availability from the general map area search when all of my weekends are available.  Help!

 

Thank you!

Can you clarify? I did a search for May 9-11, 2025 and your listing appeared on page 2 of results. If you look at the map, your listing is one of the small, gray bubbles without a price; but it's there. If you click the bubble, your price appears along with your listing thumbnail. 

 

We are all trying to figure out how the algorithm decides who has a large bubble with a price vs. a small gray bubble with no price. We guess it has to do with how the algorithm ranks the popularity of the listing. Since your listing is seasonal with only 10 reviews, no recent bookings and a 4.7 rating, it may put you in the "smaller bubble; no price" category on the map. You will see other listings appear on the map in the same way.  The good news is most people search by dates and scroll through the listings in search results. Most don't look at the map unless they are trying to find listings near a particular point of interest.
