  • Why Airbnb Suspends Listings (And How to Avoid It)

    Why Airbnb Suspends Listings (And How to Avoid It)
    Feb 2 2026
    👉 Get a Free Revenue Review → https://www.freewyldfoundry.com/report Find out how much money your portfolio is leaving on the table. Risk-free.What happens when a single bad review can cost you $5,000 in lost revenue and potentially get your entire Airbnb listing suspended or permanently removed from the platform?In this episode of Get Paid For Your Pad, Jasper Ribbers breaks down one of the most expensive risks facing STR operators in 2026: Airbnb listing suspensions. With Airbnb removing over 100,000 listings in recent months and aggressively tightening quality standards, even experienced operators with strong portfolios are now facing warnings, temporary suspensions, and permanent removals triggered by guest complaints and low review scores.Jasper explains why Airbnb's strategy has shifted from quantity to quality, how the suspension process actually works, and most importantly, the exact prevention systems that elite operators use to maintain 4.9+ ratings across 100+ listings. Whether you manage 5 properties or 50, this episode gives you a clear playbook for protecting your listings, recovering from bad reviews, and diversifying revenue channels so that platform risk doesn't destroy your business.You will discover:Why Airbnb is removing listings and prioritizing guest experience over inventory growthHow the three-stage suspension process works (warning, temporary suspension, permanent removal)Why maintaining high ratings at scale is possible (and how top operators do it consistently)The cleaner communication system that prevents issues before guests arriveHow to respond to service failures in ways that turn angry guests into five-star reviewsWhy many guests don't understand Airbnb's rating system and accidentally leave damaging reviewsHow to request official review removal through Airbnb (and when it actually works)The strategy for contacting guests directly after the 14-day window to get reviews removedHow to push bad reviews off your listing's front page using relevant, long-form feedbackWhy refunds cost far less than suspensions (and when to offer them proactively)How diversifying to Booking.com and direct bookings protects your revenue when Airbnb failsJasper also shares why "Unreasonable Hospitality" should be required reading for every STR team, how to train cleaners to catch broken amenities before guests do, and why taking ego out of difficult guest situations is the single most important mindset shift for protecting your business. He explains how professional review responses speak to future guests (not past ones), why Booking.com is becoming a viable Airbnb replacement in many markets, and how prevention through systems always beats mitigation.💡 Topics Covered:Airbnb listing suspensions, warnings, and removalsGuest experience standards and review score impactPrevention systems for maintaining 4.9+ ratings at scaleCleaner training and issue reporting protocolsReview removal process and Airbnb's terms of serviceGuest education on rating systems and fridge magnetsProfessional review response strategiesBooking.com distribution and direct booking diversificationRefund strategies and when to pay proactivelyMindset shifts for handling difficult guest interactions🔗 Relevant Links: Learn more about Freewyld Foundry → https://www.freewyldfoundry.com Follow Jasper Ribbers → https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasperribbers Follow Freewyld Foundry → https://www.linkedin.com/company/freewyldfoundryKeywords: Airbnb suspensions, listing removals, guest reviews, five star ratings, short term rentals, vacation rentals, STR operations, guest experience, Airbnb quality standards, review management, hospitality systems, cleaner training, Booking.com strategy, direct bookings, channel diversification, STR profitability, revenue protection, Freewyld, Freewyld Foundry, Jasper Ribbers, Airbnb policy, guest communication, refund strategy, review removal Hosted on Acast.
