Number of photos & Airbnb algorithm

[Wilson Hunter]

I’ve had solid success in the Airbnb ranking algorithm with 49 pics, however I just got some beautiful fall and sunset pics. I’d like to go to around 60 I think - but I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on how many starts to be too many for the Airbnb algorithm.

As far as I'm aware the number of pictures doesn't matter to Airbnb algorithm, but the quality of photo resolution and how long guests look at the photos does. Unless you have an incredibly large property I wouldn't necessarily go straight to 60 photos, I don't think anyone is going to look through all of them and even if so 30 could probably do the same job. 

Be sure that your first photo especially and then your first 5 photos are you're very best ones that sell the place, as these are the first ones that guests will see. If they don't like these then they aren't clicking through to see the other 25-55 photos. 

Hope this helps!
