Hi Walt,
I completely understand your frustration—maintaining Superhost status is tough, and it’s disappointing when external factors like lower bookings impact your standing. It’s clear that you've put in a lot of effort to keep your 5-star reviews, and losing the badge feels unfair when you’ve done everything right on your end.
However, while I agree Airbnb could do more to support hosts like you, it might help to shift focus to what you can control. Here are a few tips that might help you boost your bookings:
Update your listing: Refreshing your listing with new photos, seasonal descriptions, or even adding promotions can push you higher in the search rankings.
Promotions & Discounts: Offering last-minute or longer-stay discounts could help draw more attention to your listing, especially during slower months like October.
Adjust pricing: Take a look at competitor prices in your area to ensure your rate is competitive.
Stay Active: Make small updates regularly to show the algorithm that your listing is current and active, which may improve your visibility.
I know losing Superhost status feels like a setback, but if you focus on boosting your visibility and adjusting your strategy, you may see a rise in bookings soon. You’ve done an amazing job so far, so hang in there!
All the best
