@Bridget0 @Dave-and-Deb0 @Christine28....I have not had a message of any kind regarding new business for more than 2 weeks now! The only emails I have received are for payment transfers for existing guests and new guest arrivals, and these were all established before this sms/cellular thing came up!
I have reset my notifications, and I have had the help people in Sydney reset my notifications but....nothing!
I am still hopeful that this whole raft of problems the hosting community are experiencing with Airbnb are the result of some heavy duty hacking and that sooner or later the backroom boys will get on top of this and these issues will be sorted out and we can go back to business. But as each day passes, and the stony silence from the top becomes more and more deafening....... I am becoming less optimistic. Even @Lizzie , God bless her, is absent from these pages, I guess because she is just as much in the dark as we are, and simply has nothing to contribute!
I am giving it till Monday the 15th February for some sort of order to return to Airbnb. I am waiting to see the impact, or result, of this mass arbitrary removal of hosts and their listings that is supposed to take place on the 9th Feb. I guess this will tell us where the problem lies.
If the current situation remains at that point, or we have heard nothing from those who are supposed to have their finger on this, I will put my listing into 'snooze' for a few months and look at other hosting platforms for a logical alternative. I don't want to do this....
A/. Because I will have to start to build an enviable review base all over again!
B/. Because Airbnb has been one of the best things that ever happened to me....It's brought me together with some wonderful people who have now become my friends, and this site has allowed me to be that 'over the top' host that I love being!
Fingers crossed everyone.....where is that light at the end of the tunnel????......Cheers.....Rob
