I find it continues to impact their algorithms as they continue to figure out how to attract hosts and guests and it further proliferates and already saturated market.  

Overall we have just a basic idea of how their algorithm works.

The algorithm likes bright/colorful photos. 

@Michael Benanti Can you provide the apps proforma assumptions and algorithm?

One of the easiest things that you can do to "talk" to the algorithm is search your property and heart it. 

Doing so also helps create some level of USP to a sea of growing inventory across platforms like Airbnb.With their introduction to paid advertising it’s going to be interesting to see how their algorithms change from a ratings perspective. 

AI can't write property descriptions at all and those who use it are going to fall back in the pack because the algorithms can recognize it.

Do you have the algorithm?

When those first (hopefully 5-star) reviews hit, will we get an algorithm bump? 

As best as I can tell on both sites, the algorithm looks something like this:Cheapest price>least restrictions (cancellation, # of days minimum, etc)>Premier/Super host>Review Scores>Most discounts (weekly, last minute, etc)>Regular revisions
