Search by Super Host name

Hi is it possible to search by Super Host name in order to save their listing as a favourite?

I know their name and location and have seen their photo but I cannot find a way to search for their listing.

The problem with doing this @Stephanie  is that it limits our ability to help fellow hosts if we can't see their listing, their house rules, their pricing, their reviews, their ratings just to give a few examples.

 

I've not seen any hosts on these forums complaining that people can access their listings.

 

My view is I am running a business and if I'm coming here for advice I know it will be difficult in many cases for other hosts to help me unless they can access a hosts profile.

 

The toggle on/off option seems sensible and we can then just respond to hosts whose profiles we can access in order to help them.

 

I also think hiding profiles means it's easier for those joining this community just to promote their cleaning/co-hosting/photography or other support business to spam this community by hiding behind a blank profile.

If you know the type of accommodation they have and location, can you use the advanced search function on Airbnb to find their listings.

 

Alternatively if they post on this community you can click on their profile and find their listings through their profile @Susan4857 s 

 

Oops actually the admins have removed our ability to click on a hosts profile and see their listings @Nick  @Stephanie with new host board format. Can you see what has happened here both.

Hey @Helen3 

 

Noted - it was a choice as many Hosts commented that they didn't like having CC members "snooping" on their profile so we're thinking of having it in your setting on the CC - you can choose to toggle it on or off, in a future update.

 

Thanks
