Achieved Superhost in July 2019 but bookings and views have declined dramatically!

[Chris1678]

I was really excited and pleased to get my Superhost status this July. I only started AirBnB in March this year  but I've loved having people to stay and feel I go the extra mile - and guest reaction has been great.  But since I achieved this, I've literally only had 2  x one night bookings...  whereas in previous months I've had  between 9 and 11 bookings per month, some for multiple days. 

Is this a seasonal thing ... do people literally stop looking and booking  in July? Number of views has been down by a third too ... yet I regularly update my calendar  and tweak my listing.  And it is still visible.

Or has somehow my Superhost status put me into a category where there is more competition, so I'm actually being seen less? Everyone else around  where I live seems to be a Superhost too.  

I'm really disappointed, I was expecting more bookings with this 'Seal of Quality'!

Hi Chris!

I believe that is normal. That can happened.

My personal experience many people don't care if you are a super host as long they find one accommodation that suits there needs and in their price range.

Just continue to make your guests happy and give them a nice stay and the rest will follow.

Happy hosting!

@Chris1678  every new listing gets a boost at the beginning and after a month or so you are in a pile with all the others. All of us would like to be on the first page of course.

Views and bookings go in the waves because Airbnb is obviously shuffling the listing all the time and it depends of many parameters

My views are down for all 3 listings for the last 15 days or so and bookings are rare despite the high season and despite my September calendar is half empty.  Needless to say - I am also not happy about it ( I am superhost for 2,5 y )

@Branka-and-Silvia0  Your search impressions were much higher than Market median. Good job in the first half of the month.

Yes @Alice595  but look at the last 2 weeks, it goes in waves no metter what we do, the only bust is when we lower the price but even that is not always helpful
