I agree completely. Another less than helpful feature that Airbnb has added is counting up how many beds they think we have described when identifying the bed configurations in our various rooms. Unfortunately the bed options that Airbnb lists do not reflect common configurations in my area.
There is no option for a full size bunk bed (full over full) or what many listings are now calling a pyramid bed which is a twin size bunk over a full bed. When I originally entered my listing several years ago, customer service advised me to enter the full over full bunk bed as two sets of twin bunk beds when entering the bed configuration for the bedroom. I then wrote a detailed description in the listing text to make sure that guests were aware of the bed configuration.
This weekend a guest checked in and then promptly contacted me that they couldn't find the six beds that Airbnb advertised on the header which used to just display number of guests, number of bedrooms, and number of baths. I went to look at my listing and sure enough, Airbnb is now helping me out by adding how many beds they think I have. When I explained the actual bed configuration and pointed the guest to the detailed description in the text, the guest promptly asked for a discount.
Airbnb, please stop trying to help us. If we have to use your descriptions to indicate our bed configurations, please make sure all the common configurations are included. And please don't take it upon yourselves to count up how many beds you think we have and display that information in the header. I am happy to enter the number of guests, number of bedrooms, and number of baths and describe the beds in the text. Number of beds is no indicator of the amenities actually offered; 4 king beds in a listing is in no way comparable to 2 sets of twin bunk beds even though both in Airbnb land are 4 beds. I just saw another host receive a derogatory review because the guest felt that a murphy bed should not count as a real bed. It is just one more item that guests can use to request refunds and discounts.
And please stop adding these 'helpful' features without telling hosts they are being implemented.
