My nightly price not what is shown on my home page

Lynette22 · ‎10-10-2016

My pricing is shown as $90 / night on my home page yet my set price is $85 / night. No matter what I change it to, it shows up as $90 / night on front page yet reflects differently on my set price page. Can anybody help me resolve this please?

@Lynette22

Sounds like you have Smart pricing on. You might want to turn it off since it doesn't properly reflect your local situation with special events or otherwise. You know your area better, so can simply adapt dates to different prices manually or have an automatic weekend setting. Check out your pricing alternatives.

Smart pricing is definitely turned off Andrea

It is definitely turned on, @Lynette22. I just went to your listing, and the IB lightning flash is there. You can turn that off in your calendar in Price Settings.

@Lawrene0

Instabook is turned on but not smart pricing.

@Andrea9, you are right of course. Sorry, @Lynette22. That was completely unhelpful of me. Hope you get it sorted.

I've turned off IB and it's still showing as on plus still shows $90/night!

This is a new listing and has never happened in my previous listings.

Really sorry for having been confusing, @Lynette22. Instant Book (the thing I was looking at) is on but should not affect pricing. It affects other frustrating things! 🙂 It is Smart Pricing, or its after affects, giving you grief.

Lynett, I clicked on a few dates and noticed a slight price difference of a couple of euros.

I noticed you're a long-time host, so I don't have to explain the price settings 🙂

And you;'re probably also aware of the fact that changes made thru the phone app often don't stick.

You could check all days on the calender in your listing to see if you missed a difference in price.

It also doesn't seem like currency conversion when it changes from 59 one day to 60 the next for example.

If you can't figure it out and the difference is too large, maybe best to call Airbnb.

... that's funny, the post right under your's kind of has this theme too with a good tip about turning off IB and why:
