Airbnb changed the Algorithm...

[Travis Rasmussen]

So I have been hosting since 2018

hundreds of reviews, still over a 4.9+ score. Superhost

And my bookings have fallen off a cliff.

At first I thought "hmmm, could just be the eb and flow of the business" but 3 months of decline and went back to see - Yup, airbnb changed the algo in Summer of 2025. It seems like hosts who have been nothing but great, superhosts, matter 0% to airbnb now. Cool.

Anyways, I am going to document what I find out to get bookings again. I am going to research and post here. I am also going to test on my own properties and share my findings here.

For those curious, I am in the Florida Kissimmee/Orlando area.

Strange because I have gotten more Airbnb bookings than I have ever had this year. Vrbo is still far superior for me.

I wonder if its just the market conditions I have seen others post on BP about how slow that area is for bookings the last year.. could be saturation ? 

 Saturation is defina problem in many areas.

STR's became the shiny object and everyone blindly jumped in. It is very good to diversify in different types of Real Estate.

I love STR's , but my portfolio of LTR's makes me the most money collectively with less work.
