The new Airbnb host "dashboard" page is terrible. Change my mind.

[Willis8]

No, don't try to change my mind, you can't. It really is terrible. What were they thinking?

After visiting the Dashboard again today, it appears there is even less on it than a few days ago.

The key issue is that most of the dashboard is used to show articles for hosts to improve.

Yet the Dashboard itself is lacking anything to help us improve -- such as a prompt to reply to a review that my guest wrote, which used to be on the Dashboard.

Airbnb as others have said, please return to the old. 

There's a reason Craigslist is so popular and it's because it JUST WORKS.

I am new at being an Airbnb host and I am SO grateful to know it's them, not me. I am not afraid of technology-I've even built a few websites. I thought so many people Airbnb I must be making the mistakes. Thank you thank you.

I am old at Airbnb and I don't know what they are trying to prove?  They were running a tight ship and now it looks like it has sunk!

I NEVER use the dashboard page. You don't need it to run your Airbnb business.

The multicalender is my "dashboard".

Its super awful! Why did they remove days of the week??? Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday… can we petition to change it back???

Hi @Dominic71 

Sorry to hear you don't like the dashboard page!

This is quite an old post, if you're wanting to discuss this topic, or even get some tips from other Hosts you can start a new discussion here.

I agree!!! It’s impossible to use now…There is no way I can tell my cleaning lady or anyone else what the week is looking like. It was PERFECT before!!! No idea why they took this feature out???

Hello @Ben5254,

I am sorry to hear that you are finding the new dashboard difficult to use. Since this is an old thread, I would like to suggest that you start a new conversation here to ask how other hosts are managing communication with their cleaning team.

I agree. I have a difficult time finding my listing. If Airbnb doesn't change this soon, they will lose customers. People looking for a place to stay will just go to another website that is easier to use.

I am not sure where the line goes between the old dashboard and the new dashboard, but which ever dashboard we're talking about here, sadly they suck. No user-friendliness what so ever. Trying to sort photos on your listing—crazily confusing. Every time I want to change the order of just one photo, all of them have moved to some kind of "Airbnb" smart photos order?! And what is up with all the weird photo categories? Same when checking checkboxes—there is a loading time to it, and I'm actually giving the system 2 seconds extra to think, so that the checkbox is really checked. Sometimes I have to re-do it all over again because the "cute loading animation" simply doesn't seem to keep up. But to me personally, what I find the most time consuming and annoying is when reviewing guests. We are doing daily rentals for our rooms, meaning we have a lot of reviews to be made. Each review requires so many steps and clicks, and we simply don't have that time. And someone tried to be extra smart here, and each time the order of the review buttons changes, just to spice things up. Please shoot me.

Please Airbnb, just do a simple streamlined solution for this. We're not trying to win at candy crush here.

Other than that, thanks for an otherwise alright partnership.
