Airbnb stop eroding nightly rates! And the misleading emails

[David6]

Airbnb as we know, are continually pushing for us to lower rates.  Eroding our returns.

And the manipulative emails are being ramped up.

i was sent this to persuade me to lower my rates. And no - none of the listings are similar - as my listing has a private kitchen. And they also send one of my own listings, haha. It’s lower because it doesn’t have a private kitchen.

Then it gets really surreal. Notice my 100% occupancy for previous month? And the ‘competition’ - their occupancy  %.

I’ve never had a huge amount of forward bookings. I get lots of last minute bookings and I’ve found a manageable method to deal with that.  

So thanks Airbnb! But your advice is rubbish & misleading !

Yes @David6, I get similar spam.....

They often compare me with the number of beds rather than a similar space. 

I won’t clean for less then my personalised, deciding rates; that are based on local events, seasonal calendars etc.

@David6  There's no point getting irritated with it- it's just a computer bot pumping this stuff out. We all get ridiculous price tips and non-similar "similar" listings. Just ignore it, like most of us do.
