Hi everyone.
I am facing a problem I have never faced before. I have been a successful airbnb host for almost 2 years now and have held the superhost status for most of it. My stats and reviews are great, response rate is 100%, I offer a really good quality/price apartment in the very centre of a very big city (so demand is always high). My occupancy rate has always been at about 90%!
However, as of January, 1st, this year something has changed. Basically all the bookings stopped. I only had ONE booking since January up to now - i.e. for the past 3 months! I am really doing everything I can, including daily calendar updates etc, yet nothing is changing. I also contacted support and they assured me that I am one of their favourite listings and everything seems great. Right, except 0 bookings.
Has anyone ever had a similar issue? How did you resolve it? Maybe there's just something that I am missing? At first I thought to just give it some time, but now that 25% of the year have gone by I am really starting to feel my income dwindle, apartment staying empty all the time, and I am frustrated as I do not know what is causing this and how I can help it.
I would appreciate any advice and would love to hear from other Moscow hosts if there are any here.
Best,
Daria
