'Add Note' function is missing

[Angus-And-Sylvia0]

Add Note' function is missing from each Calendar in the May 2025 new look.

What a silly idea from Airbnb!   They introduced this function not so long ago and now they have taken it away.  It was a very handy function so one could see at glance, for example, where dates had been blocked out in the calendar as to why this was the case.  Or it helped as a reminder for something (e.g. John Smith is allergic to feathers so don't put a feather duvet on the bed).

If something is working well, why discontinue it?  I wonder if others have noticed this and, if so, what your opinions are.  I am mightily p----d off!

Hi @Angus-And-Sylvia0, @Elisa  👋,

You're definitely not alone—many of us found the “Add Note” feature very useful. Whether it was a quick reminder about guest preferences (like allergies or special requests), or simply keeping track of why certain dates were blocked, it made calendar management much smoother. Removing it feels like a step backwards, especially for active hosts managing multiple listings or long-term stays.

Also, one more recent issue I noticed:
🔹 Earlier, the “Follow up” option in reviews would only show when a guest had not yet left a review.
🔹 Now, even after a guest has submitted a review, the follow-up prompt still appears—this creates confusion and makes it harder to track who actually reviewed and who hasn’t.

Small details like these really impact day-to-day hosting. I appreciate that you already posted in the Summer Release Q&A thread. Hopefully Airbnb listens and restores these helpful features. 🙏

Thanks again for raising this!
