Is there a place to suggest or track new host-facing features? The host interface has been largely unchanged for years and the UX is becoming unbearable. For example, clicking on my Dashboard shows:
- The reviews I've received in reverse chronological order. I've received many reviews so this view has not changed for years which means it's not dashboard-worthy.
- Pending: You have no pending items! Really? It would be delightful if it provided a link to review my most recent guests which would align better with the emails the platform sends me on a near daily basis. Growth PMs please talk to Core Host Experience PMs!
- Under Alerts, it notifies me that I should provide a physical mailing address (because sometimes they sends gifts!) Looking into my settings, I /have/ provided a mailing address but, yet, I still need to manually dismiss this alert ? Really? How many data scientists do you employ?
Airbnb is hugely successful, I love them and I've been involved since the start but it's depressing to see the core UX languish while they focus on moonshot-type items.
Does anyone know if there's a place where we can post or view upcoming enhancements?
Thank you!

@Brian2 Go to Host Voice you can propose ideas there or up vote ones already proposed. It can also be found in the drop down list under the Discuss Tab on the Community Forum.

Hi,
@Brian2 I totally agree with you. There is a lot of small gaps here and there with room for improvements.
@Ange2 Host Voice according to your link unfortunately appears to be paused since april 2018.
@Airbnb - There should be a way to filter based on bed types and sizes. Whenever I (and most others that I know) go on vacation, we always want a King bed in the master. But we have to search through literally hundreds of listings with tiny beds to find the 5-10% of properties that have a king. And a bed "type" filter would allow guests to weed out the couches, futons and air mattresses which most people dont really consider "beds" to begin with but lots of hosts try to squeeze as many people as possible. Seems like such a simple feature request to add but nowhere to submit it.
