Hello everybody,
Two weeks ago we opened our new listing on a very attractive location (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/23728507?s=51). I worked on it since August 2017. It's actually an old family house I renewed entirely solely for the purpose of Airbnb rentals. Everything in it is authentic, a lot of restauration work, looking for the right design and functional sollutions. Still, since the publishing of the listing there are only 45 (sic!) views. Our other two listings, which are, to be sincere, far less attractive (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/17280653?s=51, https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/14854790?s=51), have much more views. I understand this is a new listing, but after some research from another computer I discovered that this listing is actually on the very bottom of Airbnb Search. It's simply very difficult to find, stuck among dozens of inactive listings (most of them were crated the last summer during a football championship hype, when many people thought they will make easy money in 2-3 days).
Do you have any ideas and suggestions what could we do to get more views for our listing? The main suggestion given by the Airbnb support was to lower the price to their recommended price. But their recommended price is 8 EUR (equal to 10 $), which is pure nonsense! Are there other ways to cope with the poor searchability problem? What do you think about Facebook advertizing? Other experiences?
Thank you all in advance!
Milan & Ana
