AirBNB Algorithm Question

[Carl N.]

Hello,

I have two homes on Airbnb currently being run by two separate management companies so I don't actually own the AirBNB listing. One property manager told me that if I visit my site just to look at the reviews it affects my listing negatively because it registers as someone visiting and not booking. Can anyone either validate or disprove this theory?

For whatever it is worth, I am constantly looking at my area's listings to make sure my listings are competitively priced, etc. One of my listings is just about always at the top of the list. I rarely drill down on the listing, itself, but I would be suspicious if a property manager discouraged me from doing so. I would, at the very least, be looking at all the listings in your area, comparing ratings and numbers of reviews. 

With just 2 listings, why aren't you managing them yourself?
