[Guide] How to request Airbnb to Add a category to your listing?

[Debra300]

Adding some screenshots with descriptions about the request to Add a category process on Airbnb : 

1. On you dashboard's Listing editor, select Property type : 
    
               
2. On the Property type side of the screen, click Learn more at the end of the sentence and it will take you to a new page i.e the Airbnb Help Center page regarding Categories:  https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/3374.
   
   Click the "Elevate" link in step 1.                                                                                                                       
3. A new page will launch: https://elevate.translated.com/categories.  Sign in with your Airbnb credentials. It will display all of your listings. 
                                                                
4. Click the +Add a category button that's next to the listing's title, and a pop-up with a list of categories will overlay the Categories page. I did a search and didn't find any other categories than what's already listed.  
                                                                        
5. You may select up to five categories to request to be added to your listing, and your request will be reviewed by Airbnb.

Hi @Debra300 👋

Thank you so much for creating the guide to support other hosts with adding categories. It's great to see hosts like you sharing their knowledge and expertise to help the Airbnb community. Keep up the fantastic work!

We really appreciate your contribution to the Airbnb Community Center 💛

We have asked 10 times to add Ski In / Out as a category.  There is a GONDOLA in our backyard and ski trails out the backdoor.   The categories team refuses to acknowledge that.    Our homes are the CLOSEST to the Ski LIFT!  AirBNB needs to fix Categories so you can actually communicate with the team and explain why.   Meanwhile we are finding homes 10+ miles (30 minutes) away from the ski area that say ski in / out.
