@George780 The thing is, that Airbnb isn't really the right platform for 11 month bookings. I think their requirements for number or stays and days is pretty reasonable. It's not that hard to get 10 stays in a year. My listing is quite seasonal, there is only about 6 months of booking season here. And the majority of my guests stay for one to 2 weeks, so it's not like I get hundreds of back-to-back bookings in a year. But I've still managed to get at least 10 in a year and usually more. As it stands now, you just have to not take bookings that are months and months long, opting for more and shorter bookings.
But I do agree that it would be more fair to base the criteria on number of days that you are booked, rather than the number of individual stays. The bottom line is, that Airbnb doesn't value hosts as much who do long-term bookings because they only get to charge their service fee once on those, whereas more individual bookings translates to more service fees for them. And they are all about the money.
