When a guest selects a location from the "All Locations" dropdown on a Direct Booking site and clicks Search, all properties are still shown — including ones in completely different areas. The location selection only sorts results, it doesn't filter them.
What's expected:
Only properties in or near the selected location should appear in the search results.
Why it matters:
For hosts with properties spread across multiple regions, guests rely on the location dropdown to narrow down their options. Showing unrelated properties creates a confusing experience and may cause guests to drop off before booking.
Example:
