How is my appearance in search results determined?

We have improved the search results to help travelers find listings that are more relevant to their searches. Travelers filter their searches by date, number of guests, price, neighborhood, specific amenities, and more. We constantly strive to provide our guests with the best search experience possible. In order to do so, we update our search algorithm on a regular basis. This means that your appearance in the search results can fluctuate greatly from one search to the next.

Your activity from the past 90 days impacts your listing the most. The number of nights you've booked, guest reviews, responding to messages, and keeping your calendar up-to-date positively impact your listing during the 90-day period. Expired reservation requests, host cancellations, and messages you don’t respond to will negatively impact your listing. Denying a reservation request has no impact on your listing.

Completing your profile helps boost your placement in the search results, so make sure you upload a great profile photo, obtain references, and add verifications to your account.

 

Bonus tips! 

- Respond to any message you receive to make sure your response rate is top-notch.

- Taking high-quality photos can help you increase your reservations, which then improves your placement in the search results.
