Their algorithm does not hide a review because it’s from a property owner.

Consumer sites like Zillow, on the other hand, use algorithms based on the past sales of properties of similar size and age in the area.

For example, Google algorithms might decide that a business that's farther away from your location is more likely to have what you're looking for than a business that's closer, and therefore rank it higher in local results.RelevanceRelevance refers to how well a local listing matches what someone is searching for.

If the Airbnb algorithm changes and you can’t Airbnb as successfully as it was previously (over $100/night per unit at 66% occupancy) can you make the mortgage?

Then they use some kind of algorithm to crunch this all down into a "tenant score".Especially if you're new to this game, don't let your gut feeling about someone override the numbers data.

Internet searches do not help much since Google's algorithms only show what they want. 

(You may also want to search google with the keyword BiggerPockets, the results algorithm on Google is better than the one here on the BP website...if that's their biggest flaw though then they're doing something very right in my opinion :-) ) If you can't find the answer to your specific question in the blog / forums than by all means post up your question for feedback. 

@Christian AllenBook a few Airbnb stays around your area get to know what they are doing to make there place special, talk to them about their numbers, most of them will be nice about it, make sure to disclose your visit purpose before booking their place so they don't report you to Airbnb, don't leave them bad reviews it's just not cool :) and ask them to leave you reviews because even reviews from hosts help boost you score on the Airbnb algorithm and it will help you when you start Good luck

Is it possible that they would overprice a vacation rental....i understand they use n algorithm but was wondering if there are other VRBO owners that can tell me if i have anything to worry about.Thanks , Steve

Like I have said many times before, their algorithm needs data points to be accurate.
