Showing both my rooms?

I have looked through the support and the community and can't find an answer to this question.  We have a wing in our home with two rooms for rent.  We are long term superheats, and both rooms have been booked consistently, but recently only one of the rooms is getting requests.  When I preview the listings, my other room doesn't even show up as an option in the area.  I thought I used to see a category "other properties by same host" on the listing, but I don't see that anymore.  Anyone know how to hack this?

@Rory4 

Potential guests can see the two rooms on your profile or on your homepage.

Previously you could mention the link to your homepage in the listing, but it is not allowed anymore.

You also have a custom link to your listing (BTW not the normal link, the custom one can be found when managing the listing), i believe (but not sure...) that one is allowed to put in the description.of a listing, to direct people to the other lisiting.

 

IMO "other properties by same host" has never been there, but a line "host has reviews for other properties" (or similar) used to be in the review section, but seems to be gone now.

 

@Emiel1 No, they don't allow links at all. I've tested it recently. You can get around it by using 'dot ca' but that's awkward. It really would be nice if we could be allowed to at least share those custom links.

thanks Emiel,

putting the link doesn't work, either, airbnb blocks it.  What I've tried now is putting the title of the other room in the description of the room, saying if this room is booked, try searching for Wyncote Queen Retreat with en suite bath. we'll see how that works.

 

 

 

@Rory4  They don't have to 'try searching' for it. Just tell them to click on your profile, where both your listings are visible, and when they click on the listing pictured there, it will come right up. Much easier for the guest than having to go back to the search page and scroll through to find it.

Thank you!!! That's really helpful!
