How do I change my location?

I can’t find some Airbnb listings​.

Some Airbnb listings may not show in the dashboard due to the following reasons:

1) The dashboard does not include listings added in the past four months.
2) The dashboard does not include the listings that appear to be inactive. This can mean that the listing’s calendar is marked as unavailable by the host.
3) We only have about 90% of Airbnb listings in our database.

Due to some technical limitations, there are some listings that we simply failed to scrape & are not yet existing in our database. We currently have 90% of Airbnb listings and are consistently doing our utmost effort to increase this rate.

Data

Is Airbtics accurate?

Yes, we have been tracking all Airbnb listings worldwide on a fixed interval since 2020 (partially since 2015). We’ve partnered with over 100 Airbnb business owners to enhance our data quality and use various techniques to ensure our data is clean, up-to-date, and accurate.

As a result, we’ve consistently estimated Airbnb’s actual booking and revenue with over 96% accuracy. Our data is used by investment banks and financial institutions trading Airbnb stocks. Learn more about our data accuracy here.

How do you determine if a listing is active or inactive?

An algorithm will classify whether a listing was active or not during the month. We look into three different sources, namely:

1.  Calendar pattern;
2.  Whether a review was generated close to the month or not; and
3.  Listing information.

A listing can be determined entirely available or not.

How is revenue calculated?

Revenue is calculated using the following equation: 

revenue = (reservation_days * adr) + (cleaning_fees*number_of_reservation)

On a side note, if we don’t have the information about the number of monthly reservations, we assume it to be 1.

How is occupancy rate calculated?

When calculating the occupancy rate, we take a few things into consideration:

1) Calendar scraped data (mostly on a weekly basis)
2) Assume last-minute booking
3) The inactivity algorithm can affect this too

If we determine an inactive listing, the occupancy rate will be 0.

How often is data updated?

The Investment Dashboard is updated every month. While the Pricing/CompSet Dashboard is updated every Wednesday. 

How do you get the data?​

Airbtics’ primary data source is attained through a web scraping software that directly takes data points from Airbnb. We also have secondary data sources from Airbnb hosts via iCal or vacation rental managers.

You can unsubscribe by going to your avatar as seen on the top right bar of the dashboard at app.airbtics.com, selecting settings, and clicking unsubscribe.
