@Clement-Desvaux-De--Marigny0  Airbnb doesn't discount your prices. There must be a glitch or something has changed in your settings. Have you checked to make sure there are no discounts set? (hosts often find that settings have "mysteriously" changed on their own) 

 

You can't just keep declining bookings  or Airbnb will suspend your listing.

@Sarah977 you My rates for summer was listed at $250 per night, s reasonable summer rate for our area.  I looked up what my rates are on z Airbnb / it was $371!!   Then I realized why I had absolutely NO ENQUIRIES for June.  
this unacceptable .   I’m not sure if Airbnb is the right place for me.  Probably not.

Hi.  i have just signed up and wanted "X" and now its telling me i am offering my guess 30% discount.. i have checked all my settings and no discount is set.

 

Its a little frustrating that there is not an actual "air" person to mail or chat to thou. 

 

I have no idea how to change that.

Thanks for your response Sarah ,. 

Should any 'Mysteriously " discrepant specials/prices appear on the Airbnb system ..Why should I be suspended from Airbnb? 

Airbnb needs to be supporting hosts more than the attention given to guests.

@Clement-Desvaux-De--Marigny0 You seem to want to cause an issue here. Absolutely Airbnb is wrong if it's systems have changed your price but it will only take you a few minutes to correct what is going on and then everyone will be happy.

Without guests you have no business. I would hope arbnb focuses on improving guests experience since many are going to hotels now.

Because that's the reality of Airbnb's attitude towards hosts and refusal to take responsibility for its own glitches.
