Thank you for articulating something that’s needed it’s own thread for quite some time.
Unique home stays and personal touches are what built airbnb and its what’s also created a steady steam of return guests to my cottage. Pre-stay/booking Communication has been essential to the success of our listings and airbnb’s success.
I think we need our own category so new and repeat guests can search specifically for what we offer...or I hope someone creates a new platform that does because there are millions of us who do offer this all over the world.
”Glamping” has created its own genre, although it doesn’t serve as large a demographic as we do.
Ive personally sought out this “classic” accommodation experience several times in the last year and between algorhythm errors and the flood of mass listers and commercial properties, it’s taken so much time to wade through the other kinds of listings, I booked my “classic” through a different platform.
I offered this feedback to airbnb in several ways and received no response or one that was not useful.
Airbnb could create this new category as easily as they create new review categories and policies that have confounded us.
How do you suggest we get their attention?
