Why do I suddenly have no bookings?

[Marie70]

Hi! 

When we first put up our listing on Airbnb, there were a number of enquiries coming in everyday. But since the last 3-4 days, there's a sudden halt in enquiries.

I wonder if anyone encountered the same issue recently? Is it something wrong with my listing? 

Some enlightenment from other Hosts/Airbnb would be of great help!

Thank you  😊

Hi Dede,

While you're checking everyone else's profile...could I ask you to take a look at ours, please?  We've experienced the same problem. Lot's of enquires at the beginning, however, now we are only getting about 1-2 bookings per month through Airbnb!

Many thanks in advance 🙂

Hi, you seems to be so knowledgeable about Airbnb listings 🙂 would you mind taking a look at mine ? I’ve received so many reservations the first 2 weeks … and now nothing !! I would really appreciate it ! Thank you !

Hi Dede

We don't get a lot of bookings and wondered if you would mind giving us some pointers? We only get 1 or 2 guests a month if that. My daughter-in-law is practically booked every night and we live in the same city.

Thanks so much.

Hi Tammy -

I haven't seen your listing, however, perhaps location has something to do with this issue.  Is your daughter-in-law's listing closer to downtown, the airport?

Since more folks are hosting,  (lots of competition in Seattle) I change my title and price about 1x per month. The Airbnb website thinks it's a new listing and I get more visibility.  You could try this strategy.  Hope this is helpful.

Hi @Dede0, I know this post is old but I just happened to stumble upon it! Would you be so kind to review my listing page please? I have been operating for one month plus now, and used to get inquiries on a daily basis. For some reason, I experience less inquiries for the past week. I really appreciate your tips and tricks on how to improve! Thank you so much! 🙂

Hi I am having the same issue. Normally, we have bookings all summer long and this year, we have zero. I reached out to Airbnb and they said there are no issues with my listing, however, when I do my own search, it really doesn’t come up unless you zoom way in on the map. I have heard that they promote newer listings over old ones. I did recently try and make some updates to see if that would bump me to the top, but I’m not seeing anything as a result. Can you take a look at mine and see if you are seeing any issues?

Hello @Lisa10408, 

I've noticed your comment here and I think your ask for support might get a bit lost in the pages on this thread.  

I suggest that you create a 'Critique my listing' thread by following the steps below: 

• Start a conversation to create a topic 👈
• Name your topic “Critique my listing - (your name and where you’re from)” for example “Critique my listing - Quincy in London, UK”.
• Include your favourite listing picture in the post. This makes the topic stand out more, gives viewers a sense of the type of listing you offer and means your Community Management team can more easily highlight it to the rest of the community.
• Share something about what your trouble might be at this point in your journey. This might be a lack of bookings, missing house rules, or even your custom URL.
• Finally, post a link to your listing. 

Hopefully we'll be able to get some of our experienced hosts to pop by and share their support and advice.

Could you give me some recomendation? I registered my apartment few weeks ago and only 1 guest so far :(((

I have been doing this for almost a year...it happens. Bookings come in spurts. It is not about you or your changes. It is about the demand dropped. Have confidence and stay the path. This is not like many other businesses, you can't control many aspects of it...especially demand.

When things pick up again, you will be trying to catch your breath!

@Marie70 your listing looks great. Is it new? It could be because when you first listed, Airbnb prioritises your listing in the search but after a month or so the honeymoon period ends.
