Airbnb new listing boost failed with booking mistakes - algorithm ruined?

Dear Hosts, 

I'm new to Airbnb and recently published my first listing. 

I immediately got 3 booking requests, but I had to make a counter offer each time because I messed up with the initial pricing / occupancy settings. 

 

Now I haven't got a new booking in 2 weeks and was wondering, if I lost my new listing boost due to my starting issues. 

Any opinions on restarting my listing with a smooth start to keep the algorithm going? 

Thankful for every little help! 
Cheers, Alex

@Alexander1290 turning down requests is probably the quickest way to get to the bottom of the search results. You may be better off starting again as long as you have not taken any bookings.

Thanks for the quick help. 
You think it could work in that order?

 
1. duplicate the listing 

2. make new listing offer to existing guests in old listing 

3. delete old listing 

 

or will the algorithm detect this and won’t give new listing boost again?
