Here’s a thread to look at.
For many reasons forum members here have expressed the idea that it might be unwise to be on just one platform.
There.are numerous stories here where Airbnb’s efforts to recruit additional hosts have created a much greater supply of Hosts in their area, depressing pricing.
What’s worse, though, some of these Hosts have said that while they had often been on the first page in search results they are much further back in search results, some saying that they could not find their property at all in the search results.
So many here are still on Airbnb but also have a strategy of getting direct bookings.
A few here have said that they’ve had success with this. Some Hosts here have said that even guests who have stayed once or more are reluctant to direct book, perhaps on the belief that AirCover or Airbnb generally provide valuable protections the guests will lose in a direct booking. So, your mileage might vary.
