I was wondering if anyone is encountering Airbnb telling hosts that your overall "bookability in your region would be higher if you lowered your prices to this, this or this, etc." ? They made it sound as if they received this input from my guests, but I checked with each one and the answer was "NO" and I believe them. I believe airbnb is pushing me to lower prices SIGNIFICANTLYT so that more will book and Airbnb will make more money. My feeling is "you get what you pay for" but also "you may lose it ALL if you book the WRONG person".
My listing scored 100% on photos, 100% on description, 100% on amenities, and then what looks like 50% on pricing. Odd... I checked 200 other listings within 20 miles of my home and most of them are charging more than I am and - no offense - some of them shouldn't be...
Any other hosts out there in upstate New York or elsewhere having this problem ? Thanks.
