Assist with listing

Hi! I have a new listing and would really love some advice on how to increase bookings. 

If anyone has a moment please. I barely get any views but it is the only private bathroom in my area, I would think that would attract people.

Thank you for your input

Have you looked at supply and demand for your sort of property? @Sarah5258 - many markets are oversaturated ?

Welcome to the Community Center @Sarah5258! Congratulations on your new listing!😊 Just wondering whether you had a chance to read Helen's comment? Out of curiosity, what moved you to become an Airbnb host? 

Perhaps @Joan2709 and @Joelle43 might also be able to offer some tips!

Hi Sarah,

Great work with your Airbnb properties.  I think you've done a good job with this new listing, sometimes it takes awhile to start getting views/traffic, so maybe worth offerring a discount for the first few bookings and to get some reviews.

My only real feedback is that your listing description could be improved in parts to make your offering clearer for potential guests.  I've proivded a revised text in following message, as an example.

Good luck!

Regards,

Tim

Hi Sarah, with your Superhost experience you’ve got the hosting side down. Bookings really come down to local demand, so the best tips will be from nearby hosts.

Hi Sarah , you may start by changing your listing Title, get a name that is simple and catchy, a name to will make me what to view your listing. 2 your description the first paragraph is all focused on the bathroom, this sounds like your place is offering a bathroom for public use, and I will be discouraged to book your place, please work on that , I like the way you point out the layout of your surroundings, eg places of attraction and entertainment, that’s great and it should be in the first paragraph.

[Sarah5258]

I think you may be confusing public and private.

Public bathroom would be for use with others. 

Private is Only for the guest renting. 

Thanks for your input on the surroundings🙏

Hi Sarah!

So I was looking at your listing, it’s a great space, and you offer plenty of amenities, but when I tried to book, I realised the min stay is 31 days. 

On Airbnb, most travellers are searching for short stays (2–7 nights), so a 31-day minimum cuts out the majority of the market.

I do agree with other comments that are suggesting improvements to the description. And I would also look at improving the photos. 

[Shanice43]

Hi Sarah, my opinion will be if you can make your property's name to be a bit more catchy, so that guests are immediately drawn towards your property 

Also your photos of the place you have more lighting which makes the place look more visually appealing.

All the best!.

Εκτος απο την τιμή θα έλεγα εγω ειναι και η διακόσμηση. Φτιάξτε τον χώρο άνετο και όμορφο με ωραια και απαλά χρώματα. Και εγω 5 μήνες ειμαι εδώ και τράβηξα πόλους επισκέπτες με την διακόσμηση του χώρου.

Apart from the price, I would also say that the decoration is important. Make the space comfortable and beautiful with nice and soft colors. I’ve been here for five months, and I’ve attracted many guests thanks to the decoration of the space.

Hi there,

       The 31 day stay is the first thing I noticed that would limit who books.

Also saying its an on suite bathroom that is included with the room, its sort of confusing the way it is stated up front.

Id also recommend some more warmth to the room, bare or sparse walls make me feel cold and sterile and I like to feel cozy. 

There are a lot of great videos on youtube on photos, room staging, etc, what people are looking for. 

It seems like your other 2 listings are working for you to some degree yes? Look at what is working in those ones and compare it up against this one.

Let us know how things go!
