How are the search results ordered?
The order of appearance constantly changes, and there are numerous criteria that affect the order of search results, which also change every day!
Our algorithm that chooses the order of the listings operates on a system of "machine learning" (machine learning system).
It takes new information on a daily basis from member's usage of the website and the updates they make. According to the gathered information, it adjusts the relevance of how the listings are displayed in the search results.
How to show your listing higher in search results and find guests more easily?
To increase your chances of finding guests, you can consider the following suggestions:
- Adding a period of availability on your calendar
You will appear in the results of the searches for these dates.

- Reply to all the requests you receive so your response rate is high.
