Random Search Dates???

@Stephanie   @Sybe , @Quincy

 

Can you explain a major issue with the "latest Airbnb version update" please!!

 

IMHO there is a major flaw in the search engine relating to booking availability dates.  Having, as a guest, searched local Airbnbs, 1 guest. Yes, I know all my local competition,  STR, BNB, hotels, motels, trailer parks, camp grounds.. After getting beyond the weekend, week, month etc on Airbnb,  I looked at multiple local listings the "avaliable dates".  In every listing the "available date" was some random date in the past or future not related to anything definable.  For example, searching today,

 (May 28, 2022), some listings show dates for bookings prior to May 28, 2022.  As well , others show weeks in October 2022, when there are earlier weeks/dates available.

 

Can anyone explain??  I can't understand how this discrepancy can benefit Airbnb, hosts or guests.

 

Below are screen shots of my listing .  If you would like to PM me, I will be happy to refer you to other listings. Just to clarify  the search  screen shot shows October 20-27 , the first weekly availability shows September 18, a month earlier.

while we are here trying to figure out the way through the cave and this amazing maze to the OMG castle, admins went to search and rescue our lost guests but, along the way, they got lost as well 😄 😄 😄

They're probably as surprised as we are.
