Hi Kamal, 

Congratulations on your listing and Airbnb journey. It is a beautiful place, and you have done very well with furnishing and how pictures are taken.

My recommendation will be :

a) Price it below market until you start receiving bookings and start building market trust with good reviews in your favor. Get to 5 start reviews and a super-host status until you start reviewing prices. That doesn't mean you don't take advantage of holiday period or events to bump prices up a little.

b) Provide weekly and monthly discounts to your guests. In current high-cost environment, that helps with bookings.

c) Review your Title of Listing - do some Chat GPT checks for best suitable and check other similar houses in your area how they are titled. 

d) To bump your listing up in first page, you can do minor changes every now then, eg: drop or increase price by $1 one day and update back next day or so. 

Overall, this business is hospitality, so you want to get consistent bookings instead a longer gap of no bookings. The reviews drive traffic to your listing as well so focus on creating a good market value for your guests. 

All the best

The property is really beautiful and well presented, so I would suggest to develop and rules and instructions around it to make the most out of it. You dont want guests to leave your property in a mess. So make sure there are cel

Hi @Kamal-Jayantilal0 

Your listing has a lot of potential, but there are a few tweaks that could help attract more guests and improve visibility:

• Description: The current description is a bit brief. Try expanding it to cover every question a guest might have upfront. Make sure you highlight all the key features, nearby attractions, and what makes your property unique. The more details you provide, the more confident guests will feel about booking.

• Profile & Guidebook: Take some time to update your profile and guidebook. Having a detailed, warm profile photo and description builds trust. Also, a guidebook with recommendations for local attractions, restaurants, and activities adds extra value for guests.

• Hero Image: Consider changing your hero image. The current one is a bit low-quality and has some copyright text, which might make guests hesitant. A high-quality photo of your living room or another standout feature would be a much better first impression.

• Cleaning Fees: Lowering your cleaning fees could make your listing more appealing. High fees can be a deal-breaker, especially for shorter stays. Striking the right balance between covering costs and keeping prices attractive is key.

• Target Audience: Make sure your listing speaks to the right audience. Whether it’s families, business travelers, or couples, highlight features that cater to their specific needs—such as a workspace, fast Wi-Fi, or family-friendly amenities.

• Pricing: Check similar listings in your area to ensure your rates are competitive. Consider offering discounts for your first few bookings to build up reviews and improve your ranking.

With these improvements, I’m confident you’ll start seeing more interest in your listing. Good luck!
