1. Have a look at what your competitors are offering

 

2. design your listing with your target guest in mind

 

@Praise11 presumably you've stayed in the listing so know first hand what it's like to stay? 

Thank you for the tips

I think you should chame max to 4 trying to offer sleeping on your couch doesn't have positive results.

Cover photo your house is beautiful and huge.  Potential Guests want a resonance priced rental for 4 for a week.  Could scare off your market,  Maybe a comfortable living room for four or a small patio area.  Don't overwhelm.

Your photos =Take a potential Guest on a visual tour, include kitchen and bathrooms and take pictures where the whole room is some what visible.  Guest needs to be able imagining the space.

Review Amenities include everything  Minimum for a 2 bedroom is usually at least 35.

Instead of a sale price turning on the Airbnb New Listing Discount is really helpful.

Hi @Praise11!

 

Thank you for leaving this question in the Community. As you saw, there are hosts willing to help others by sharing their experiences in the hosting world. Two clear examples are @Marie8425  and  @Helen3. Thank you so much!
 
Did you have time to start implementing their advice in your listing? Let us know how it's going!
 
Best, 
Alex

Yeah, absolutely. I implemented what @Marie8425  suggested 

@Praise11 

 

Focus on Amenities because some search filters can be for kitchen which yours incorrectly says No Kitchen.  Especially when potential Guests are not from your country what you mean by kitchen may be different then what is their usual, so list your appliances.  The No Hot Water Airbnb has that listed because that is the normal for some places, you want to be sure you are accurate and display all you offer what is your normal may not be the Guest's normal.

Thank you for coming to my rescue once again 😂. I appreciate

Hey there @Praise11 ! One thing I’ve seen make a huge difference for Airbnb hosts is having the right cleaning team. A cleaning team that truly understands short-term rental turnovers. I’ve specialized in short term rental turnover service in Dallas Fort Worth for many years and I’ve worked with many hosts who came to us after struggling with cleaners who didn’t know the unique demands of this industry.

For example, a cleaning service that specializes in Airbnb should:
• Understand tight turnover timelines and ensure the property is guest-ready on time, every time.
• Know what guests notice most, like spotless bathrooms, crisp linens, and a fresh, inviting scent.
• Restock essentials like toiletries, paper goods, and even small welcome touches that enhance the guest experience.
• Communicate proactively to report damages, missing items, or anything that could impact your next guest’s stay.

Having a cleaning provider that truly understands Airbnb can be the difference between average and exceptional reviews. Happy to share more insights if you ever want to chat!
