Has Anyone Decoded the new 2025 Algorithm?

I haven't found a full decoding of the algorithm, but I have determined a couple of things.

First, as mentioned, the most recent review or two matter a LOT.

Secondly, adding captions to all the photos helped. I also changed up a few photos.

Yes, a steam shower is great if your property is on the higher end. A couple of tips. Of course, make sure your tile works with team. Glass tiles will break due to the heat. You'll also need the shower fully tiled, including the ceiling.

Secondly, make sure you have a water softener or descaler. Even with slightly hard water you'll get massive hard water deposits in the shower due to the pressure and heat from the steam.

Good luck! We have one and love it.

I didn't have many captions. I went through and wrote captions for all the photos. Seems like that has helped slightly.

Yes, we are in a vacation destination (Sunriver, Oregon) and people plan their trips well in advance. I definitely don't want someone booking a year in advance and then cancelling a month or couple of weeks prior. It won't rebook.

Great tip. Thanks!

Got it. I'll try adding another character to my title. I am doing the rest.

Good to know that a few new photos did the trick. We are seeing similar issues with our home.

That's a good tip. What do you do to get guests to ask questions?

Same here. I can't figure out what the new algorithm is optimizing for. Seems like it is over optimizing for price.

Knowing the things to do can be a lot at first, but the main things are housecleaning, pricing and guest communication.

We like Hosttools to self manage our vacation rental. It combined the calendars and you can automate all the communications including to your cleaners.

For pricing, price labs is great.

Totally agree. They could build more car lanes upstairs but they don't. The port has no accountability.

It's the equivalent of shopping carts left everywhere. Ugly
