Deleting and Re-listing on Airbnb?

[Rachel Hughes]

Has anyone ever deleted an Airbnb listing and then re-listed it? 

Some background...

I recently launched a listing that now has 5 reviews and a shameful 4.2 overall rating. 

I had a string of bad guests that resulted in some less than fair reviews in my opinion. 

Will Airbnb recognize the address was previously listed? More importantly, is this unethical?

I'd relist. However, keep in mind that the previous reviews will stay under your profile with the name of the old listing and the old cover photo. Make sure to change the name and cover photo of the new listing so folks dont immediately make the connection. 

 Lifehack: Change the title, cover photo & location of the OLD listing before disabling/deleting it. Make the old listing seem like it is somewhere on the other side of the planet and totally unrelated to the new listing before you disable/delete it 😉
