Basic Requirements/Accepted Reservations advice please

Hello,

I started my Airbnb rental around a year ago and received a lot of rentals.

In the last few months, my bookings have gone down to 0...

and I see this is 

Accepted reservations
Make guests feel welcome by accepting requests whenever you’re available.
62% - target: 88%
My issue is that since I rent out a large property and don't want to disturb neighbours arround, I have to decline those requests for bookings for weddings or wild parties etc...
Is this something that is affecting my bookings?
Any advice welcome
Thanks

@Rosa513 

as you don't have an instant booking and you decline 40% booking requests it is possible that your listing has bad search ranking so prospective guests don't see it

Add a new picture in your gallery, change a few words in your description, adjust your price for 1$ just to update your listing and move iat bit forward.

It should help

@Rosa513, I suggest not to decline. Just explain clearly your conditions and limitations. And tell your prospective guests that if you accept their request they will have to follow your rules. So they are free to look for other option without risk to loose money. And you don’t have to decline the inquiry. It is just like question, needs simple answer.
