On Feb 20 I got a booking for a 40 day stay in July. I briefly looked at it and noticed that the discount was about 35%. I normally offer 10%. Before I could get to Airbnb and figure out what was going on I got a booking for March for 30 days with another huge discount. When I finally got to Airbnb they said I must have changed it. So she helped go get it back to my normal settings. I am positive that I didn’t change that. So I got to looking and almost all the listings had a slash through the price with a big discount for over 30 day stays. My neighbor who is not on instant book did not have a slash. Has anyone else experienced this? I lost almost 2000$ on these two bookings.
There have been other posts noticing this same thing.
The takeaway has been to review the pricing before accepting the request to book, and to periodically review your settings.
A few months ago many of found that our amenity list had been somehow greatly expanded too.
More experienced Hosts than I or long-term forum members will likely give you more ‘meat.’
Hey neighbor, welcome to the forum- you’ll be glad you joined, finally!
I haven’t had this happen but I hate the way a listing price shows if someone just searches by location with no dates. It give them a “nightly” price under the picture listing that reflects a weekly discount. If someone finds me and then puts in less than 7 days for dates, they get charged my usual amount. I expect that may be an unpleasant surprise.
