Appearing on AirBnB listing of available homes.

[Larry680]

We have an AirBnB in a good size city...

There are many hosts and homes available in the city...almost, 1,500.

AirBnB only posts app. 300, (15 pages) which means you have a small chance of being listed..no matter how highly you are rated.  I would like to stay with AirBnB, but it seems they are forcing me out to other channels to get in front of people!!!

Any thoughts?

It all depends on where the algorithm places you in search rank. Some factors are known:

Price

Professional Photos

Instant Book

Flexible cancellation policy

Amenities

Popularity (recent bookings/reviews)

Good Reviews

Availability

Response Time

If you are in a saturated market, you will have to be even more competitive. This would be true on any platform, not just Airbnb. That said, platforms with less listings mean a "smaller pond" to compete with, but also fewer "fish" - smaller group of potential guests.

Hi @Larry680 

There's no listing on your profile, so we can't check for you.

You could ask the owner of the listing to reply and to post a link (we may post links to our own listings in the Community Center).
