@Dede0, that raises a philosophical question on your first post: Can a crazy entity go insane temporarily? 😉 My absurd high suggestions lasted way shorter than yours, when I wanted to see them again they were already back below hostel level for me.
Although I don’t believe that it is an easy thing to program. There are much too many variables and they may interact I’m predictably, requesting fixes, which may increase flaws.
There is an official explanation thread on smart pricing, which is totally unsatisfying.
It would be interesting to put the factors taken into account in a list and let guests and hosts poll on them and also suggest factors.
Maybe we as hosts would be surprised how few or how many factors are important for guests as booking deciding factors.
Maybe airbnb would be surprised, if factors are voted highly on both sides, but low or not at all on their programmers’ list.
Maybe we find, that we have factor we are proud off but they are not so important for guests. It’s up to the single host by then to adapt investment or to adapt communication.
