We have a room listed on Airbnb.
We have had great reviews without exception and continue to get good requests for stays.
Trouble is we have other plans for a while.
If I enlist the apartment:
Will my apartment disappear from the Airbnb page showing all the rooms for rent (I would prefer this for now)
I am on the point of being a super host I’d say…100% response, great reviews etc…
If I enlist then restart say in six months will I revert to my present status or lose those benefits.
Will the reviews be recorded for showing on future listings?
You can unlist without trouble. Sure, unlist means your listing will no longer be displayed (on your profile, in search results, for current guests if you still have some). Reviews will still be appear publicly on your profile, and will still appear publicly on your listing when you relist it again.
As for Superhost, you will keep that status for as long as you still qualify.
Snooze, I think, just closes your calendar. When you “wake it up”, everything is waiting for you as you left it, including your photos and descriptions.
smartbnb.io knows far more than me about AirBNB, but I really thought that un-list removed all the listing details, while snooze does not.
It’s true smtucker… tried the same search from Opera browser and our photo certainly not on first set of photos…
However the fact it still comes up first on main browser means it has not been taken down right?
Which suggests only unlisting does that.
Smartbnb io says the reviews remain ready for unlisting…if that’s true OK.
Smartbnb io we have one guest coming in tomorrow, the only one booked, if I unlist now will he still be able to message me through airbnb somehow during his month’s stay?
Agree with the snoozing, I do it frequently.
Admittedly, I use ABB to my own purpose, I don’t need to fill my calendar to any certain percentage for financial obligations.
I do have my listing set up a couple different couple ways…different titles and descriptions to attract certain types of guests or for certain local events (Track Season, the Solo Traveler, the Couple). Snoozing on and off works well for me.
I still get as many bookings as I can realistically handle.
Absolutely. Unlisting/Snoozing will only affect the visibility of your listing. I do that A LOT because I am now only using my listing for testing.
The unlisting should be instantaneous. The listing should not come up in search results, as long as the start date of your “snoozing” time is today, of course.
Not necessarily the most practical, but since you seem very worried about the whole process, this is probably something you can do instead @jindy.
