Why is my "accepted reservations" percentage not going up?

[Natalie725]

I've had instant book on for a few months, and I've been accepting 99% of guests for at least 6 months now (before that, I took requests and was more cautious as a beginner)... Anyway, despite my instant book being on, etc - my accepted reservations percentage still lies at 64%. It has only risen by 2% in a year. Is this normal? Or some glitch? It also takes me about 10 individual 5 star reviews to get my listing from a 4.93 to 4.94! Anyone else experienced this? And typically the smallest negative thing results in a drop of ratings across the board.. within seconds.

@Natalie725 IB doesn't count for that stat... only your "acceptance" of "request to book", I'd pay it no mind, nothing you can do to change it when you're on IB
