In order to optimize your performance on Airbnb it is important to understand how their search rank and algorithm works.

Airbnb’s search algorithm is designed to help guests quickly find places that meet their needs. Guests can filter for a price range but there is no way for guests to sort by price. Instead Airbnb will give guests always listings that meet the guests needs with highest quality on top.
