after 5 stars ratings reservations just stopped. advice please.

Hi Guys,

 

My experience @ AIRBNB EXPERIENCE started really well one month ago....for march we are fully booked but then it just stopped even though we had 2X 5 stars and amazing reviews. We performed on page 3 when we search.

 

We are no getting reservations for april of the following months yet.

 

can you please check out my co-hosted listing and give me some advice on how to improve.

 

Thank you.

@Valerie1112  When new listing goes live, Airbnb gives them a temporary, artificial boost in the search results to get off the ground. After a few weeks, that boost expires and your listing takes a more normal place among the competition. Of course there's no default "page 3," because every user searches with different filters and parameters, so you'll still come out on top for some guests. But this is the main reason that interest seems to drop off after the first month.

 

Your listing looks really nice and should have a lot of appeal as it accumulates more reviews for your currently booked stays. The photos look really sharp overall, though if you're advertising "best sunsets," "mountain view," and "beaches nearby," those would also be great things to show visually.

 

Detail-oriented folks might be a bit distracted by the beautiful back porch seeming to drop off into a pit of dirt, which might be an inadvertent metaphor. Your listing text describes the home as "in a word, 'Boujee,'" which in slang terms means "phony and pretentious - pretending to be of higher class than one really is." If that is not the message you want to convey, perhaps a bit of a touch-up on the details would be helpful.

Hi Andrew !

 

Thank you for your message.

in hip hop slang  they describe boujee as luxurieus but humble in character.

but as you mentioned  there are different meanings of the word … so we decided to tae that away from the description to avoid confusion. 

 

we took pictures of the beaches nearby and i will take pictures of the sunset today to post them too.

 

I apprecite your time and constructive criticism.  

 

thanks !! 🎉🙌
