Unfair listing practice?

Dear community,
we all go through tough and strange times, even more we should apply fair practices. I was just checking the presence of our listings in Faro and encounter a strange situation. On a certain map zoom and exemplary date, there are e.g. 59 listings in our neighborhood. Strangely, 20 of them are from a hostel that advertises each place in a bunk bed in their shared rooms as a separate item. This leads to a disproportionally high number of flags referring to one single place, and nearly identical offerings. For comparison, we offer four rooms, each of which completely different, which we deem appropriate to show as four flags, because these are factually different offers. 
Question: How does one correctly list a number of equivalent offers? What to other hosts think about the fairness of this situation? Is it possible to get it corrected?
Thanks to all... Gabriele and Markus

@GabrieleandMarkus0 As it is the only way to list a hostel on Airbnb I am afraid the other host is doing nothing wrong. Usually, on a map, all the flags will be on top of each other hence only 1 will show but they can still fill the listings page.

Despite the fact that it looks silly, it is a situation that it is hard to change because Airbnb will have determine an 'is it different enough'  judgement call which  then opens a can of worms for them.
