Superhost Listings Disappearing from Search? I’ve Heard from 15 Affected Hosts Worldwide

Hi Everyone,

I’m a Superhost in Palm Springs and have always taken pride in my listing—The Adler—which has over 60 five-star reviews, professional photography, and a space that accommodates 8 guests.

Until recently, I had steady bookings and strong visibility. But now, even when searching with available dates and correct guest count, my listing is nowhere to be found—not even after 15 pages of results—unless the guest zooms deep into the map.

Here’s what’s more concerning:
Since I first raised this, I’ve now heard from 15 Superhosts in different parts of the world who are experiencing the exact same issue.

Properties buried or invisible in search
All have strong reviews and solid booking history
Many have lost bookings and even their Superhost status as a result
Airbnb Support continues to respond with general information about how the algorithm works, but they’re not addressing why this is happening to experienced, high-performing hosts across multiple countries.

Have you noticed a similar drop in visibility?
If so, please speak up. The more we share, the harder this will be to dismiss.

Thanks,
Mrs. Belvedere

The difference is that this listing is visible, just not ranking well.

This is not a technical problem, and from the last post I understood that the host is not keen to ease cancelation, booking style or price. So there are few options left to improve the rank.

Hi Shelley59, thank you for your response. I really appreciate you taking the time to weigh in.

Just to clarify—this isn’t a question of ranking low, it's a question of not being visible at all in standard guest searches.

I’ve done multiple incognito searches using accurate availability, guest count (8), and typical search behavior, and my listing doesn’t show up on any of the 15+ pages of results—unless I zoom in to nearly the exact address.

That’s not a matter of rank—that’s a visibility issue. The listing essentially disappears from the browsing experience unless a guest takes very specific actions most don’t use.

I’ve also confirmed that this is not an isolated case—18 other Superhosts in different regions are seeing the same thing. High-rated, well-performing listings with strong booking history are now buried or hidden entirely without extreme zoom or filters.

I’ve optimized everything within my control—response time, pricing, photos, guest experience, etc.—and nothing explains the sudden disappearance. That’s why I’ve been raising this as a deeper concern, not a normal algorithm adjustment.

 

Thanks again for engaging—conversations like this are what make the host community valuable. 

 

Warmly,
