One problem I have with Airbnb’s search function is that you can’t sort or filter on listing quality, aside from “Guest Favorite.” That means that, as a host, you can work your **s off earning 5* and not even have your listing show up in a search.

I suggest everyone who cares about quality make a suggestion to change this.

“Please allow searches to filter and sort on quality.”
