I have three rooms in my house all with the same name except the numbers 1, 2 or three before them.
I was thinking to change the names. However, I have many repeat guests. In their listing as guests in their Airbnb app, Will these past listings become unlinked?
When the guest goes to his past history, will these rooms be unfindable?
I see that this is a really old topic but it might be worth reviving for new hosts.
I believe that changing titles will have no effect at all and that previous guests will still have your listing in their account info.
That being said, it’s a great opportunity to nudge previous guests a little as follows:
"Hi [name],
This is just to let you know that I’ve changed the title of my Airbnb listing to [new name]. I don’t know if this makes me less visible for you, should you want to find the listing to book a new stay, but I thought I’d let you know just in case.
It would be great to see you here again. [Personal note relevent only to them such as ‘I still remember the fish you gave me after your fishing trip during your stay - delicious!’ or similar.] We’d love to see you here again. Etc. etc. etc."
It could be well worth the time it takes to personalise each message with the name and personal note but if you just get a couple of bookings from it, it’d be worth it.
