PSA: Check your shared spaces settings. BUG REPORT URGENT.

[David-and-Fiona0]

Hi everyone. I suggest you check your settings. There seems to be a new area for additional spaces information and it has a “shared spaces” button on each category. Many users are reporting that this button is often incorrectly set.

@David-and-Fiona0  Yes. This is HUGE.... there is already one thread about this huge data issue. I spent an hour fixing my listing this afternoon. I can't imagine how all the hosts who do not participate on this forum will deal with these issues.

At least half of the hosts in my neighborhood have changes that make their listing seem to be much less appealing. 

This can be categorized in the "clusterf••k" category.

[David-and-Fiona0]

Thanks. I didn’t realise it had already been posted.

@David-and-Fiona0  Here is the thread I was referencing:

Thanks for the heads up!!! I didn’t even see the other post ... and I cannot believe (AGAIN) that Airbnb doesn’t send out any notifications about these changes !!!

@David-and-Fiona0 @Monika64 @Susan151 

omg 😄 thank you... I just checked my 2 bedroom apartment listing and you are right.... shared bedrooms . Just because there are 2 twin beds or 1 double bed it doesn't mean bedrooms are shared by me or other guests or someone else. Jesus!

@Branka-and-Silvia0 

Do you guys ever get notifications about any of these changes at all? 

I haven’t been on the CC for a while now ... well, because of life 🙂 ... and every time I come back I realize there are some major changes in important rules or huge bugs in the program which I would have NEVER known if not for the complains here.  

I set my settings multiple times and talk to tech (insert rolling my eyes here) but I never get the host newsletter either ... although I’m not sure that would even matter?

[Branka-and-Silvia0]

yeah, @Monika64  of course we are immediately notified, Brian Chesky has my number on a speed dial 😛 😛 😛

@Branka-and-Silvia0 

Goodness, this system (or the lack of info system really) is just so bad on so many levels  :-((((

[Sarah977]

@Branka-and-Silvia0 I'm so disheartened. I thought I was the one Brian always called first.

@David-and-Fiona0 

That's because an SQL programmer does not understand the nuances of what shared accommodation means and is applying inappropriate alterations and updates to code and tables, I suspect he/she probably hasn’t even read the data flow diagram or reviewed the data model for the database.

Remember one of the Airbnb’s corporate mantras is “fail fast”, while host do the bug fixing which incidentally is a very costly element of database development an apparently hosts will do it for free.

Wake up hosts and demand better…

@David-and-Fiona0thanks for the heads up Airbnb should be sending you a few bob (money) for your bug checking by the way if you think this is a fanciful notion it’s a well-established practise called "Bug bounty"

[Sarah977]

@Cormac0  Nor do they have the ability to think outside their tiny box. I don't have "Backyard" nor a front yard. My house is built in an L shape along 2 property lines, takes up 100 square meters, all the rest of the 300 sq. meter property is tropical jungled gardens.

OMG

Thank you @David-and-Fiona0 for the heads up

Just found that all guests will be sharing their bed with others !!!!!!!!

[Lawrene0]

Thank you, @David-and-Fiona0! My treehouse bed was also shown as shared! 

The raccoons would love to share it with guests, but so far I have been holding them back 😉

[Rosemarie9]

Ha! I would love to see a trash panda up close. They don't live in Australia or Ireland where I am now. I have guests who would love to share their bed with my cockapoo Curly Murphy, but he is exclusively my bed warmer!
