Hi @Bhumika
Many thanks for your reply.
I looked at the old thread that you linked (thanks for that). What comes across to me from the comments is that the criteria for "rare find" are very opaque. Hosts seem to have formed their own opinion of how it works based on their observations of their
own listings. When read together you can see how contradictory these views are. I have already done my own investigation and have observed these facts:
1. The same listing (my own) can change from displaying Superhost to Rare Find or vice versa, simply by changing the date range in the search.
2. The same listing (my own) can change from displaying Superhost to Rare Find simply by changing the geographical boundaries on the map.
3. The same listing (my own) can change from displaying Superhost to Rare Find simply by performing the same search on a different day.
4. A listing can show Rare Find when it has been vacant for several weeks and not show Rare Find when it has been booked solidly for weeks and is booked for weeks ahead.
5. Some listings labelled Rare Find have no track record at all of bookings.
These observations suggest to me that the logic behind this tag is only very loosely connected to the listing or perhaps the software has just been inexpertly designed.
Ideally, I would like to avoid this tag as it hides my superhost status from potential guests.
If you have any access at all to AirBnb and can get some explanation on how this tag works, it that would be awesome.
Last year when the May release took place I did contact ABB support. All they were able to say was that they didn't know how it worked and that they did not have any communication channel to the developers who implemented it.
I also gave feedback to the AirBnb web feedback channel a couple of times. This channel does not respond of course.
Best wishes,
Kevin
