SUPER HOST PLUS

I AS A SUPER HOST FIND  I'M AT A DISADVANTAGE TO A SUPER HOST PLUS STATUS FOR THEY HAVE SO MANY UN FAIR PRIVILEGES THAT MONOPOLIZES THE  AIR BNB WEB SITE THE SUPER HOST PLUS LISTING IS BEING EXPOSED  MULTIPLE TIMES ON ALL THE SEARCHES PUTTING MY LISTING PRACTICALY AS A NON EXISTANCE . PLEASE AIR BNB MAKE THIS FAIR IF YOU WANT SUPER HOST PLUS LISTINGS TO BE ON THE FIRST PAGE THEN FINE
BUT PLEASE DON'T DUPLICATE  THEM ONTO THE FIRST PAGE OF ALL THE SEARCHES SO SUPER HOST WILL HAVE A CHANCE OF BEING BOOKED MORE FAIRLY  BECAUSE OF THIS SET UP I'M NO LONGER GETTING THE HEALTHY BOOKINGS AS I DID LAST YEAR . MY UNDERSTANDING IS SUPER HOST PLUS IS SEPERATE FROM AIRBNB SO WHY DID AIRBNB  ALLOW THIS BE SO MISMANAGE ? WHY ARE THE SUPER HOST PLUS LISTINGS BEEN DUPLICATED ON SO MANY SEARCHES AND DUPLICATED ON SO MANY PAGES? AS WELL AS THE SUPER HOST PLUS DON'T EVEN HAVE THE CAPACITY TO MAKE THIS AVAILABLE FOR ALL SUPER HOST TO UPGRADE TOO IT'S ENTIRELY UNFAIR SET UP FOR ALL US WHO ARE A SUPER HOST 
SADLY THE SUPER HOST AND SUPER HOST PLUS REALY IS COMPARABLE IN QUALITY OF STAY FOR GUEST JUST THE SUPER HOST PLUS IS EXTREMELY PROMOTED PUSHING US SUPER HOST PRACTICALLY UNSEEN .
THANK YOU LEE NADEAU

Air bnb plus is basically saying to all super host... pay us plus give us control or you won't be recieving full exposure from Airbnb search as you once did prior to us developing the plus programe So basically they are pushing us out
It is too bad so sad I liked Air bnb but not what they are doing to host
I wish that they would of had set this up to help us and hopefully they will tone this down by simplifying it in a way as I had mention to super host after one year to agree to giving guest some extra perks and  if needed  clearer pictures and 100.00 = your now apart of the plus programme

@Lee277   You don't seem to be reading or comprehending what other hosts are telling you here. 

 

You should stop refering to it as Superhost Plus. There is no such category.

 

Yes, Airbnb heavily promotes those slick, bland, soulless, all-the-same Plus listings. 

 

Yes, we would all like to have our listings given priority. In fact, what would be fair and smart is to feature a different category up-front and center every day. Monday the Plus listings could be first, Tuesday the Superhost listings, Wed. the Experiences, etc. It would actually make the site more visually interesting, but Airbnb simply doesn't listen to host suggestions- they always think they know better, they are arrogant.

 

If it makes you feel any better, many hosts who joined Plus have been very aggravated and disappointed. It has not, at least from host reports here on the forum, led to them getting more bookings. Some hosts, who had steady bookings before they joined Plus, saw their bookings totally stop. It seems that many guests fast forward through the Plus listings, assuming they will be too expensive for their budget.

So no need to be jealous or mad. If you enjoy hosting and it's going well for you, enjoy what you're doing and don't get too fussed about these things.

Well I agree with you for I have suggested a few changes such as the age group suitable in your home well i said they should have it 0-3 (needs a child proofing home to stay in)from ages 4-12 

and I also agree with you, what would be fair and smart is to feature a different category up-front and center every day. Monday the Plus listings could be first, Tuesday the Superhost listings, Wed. the Experiences, etc. OR I was thinking that we would be categories into rectangles on Air bnb front search page  i.e. there would be three rectangle frames to choose to click into the first one would be PLUS in a rectangle frame and below it would be SUPER HOST in a rectangle frame and below it would be HOST It would actually make the site more fairly accessibly laid out and visually interesting, and if all of us host request Airbnb do this for their host -
 it would be a good business approach for Air bnb to make 
Super Happy Host fair to all and all the Airbnb host lived happily ever after with this solution

If you agree please copy paste and send it to feed back under other

thanks Lee 🙂
