Hi.

Our new listing is doing OK at weekends but is not busy midweek.

May I have some feedback please, if anyone has time?

My listing is here: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/1203049910626433367

Thank you!

Ciao @Adriana1144 ,

beautiful tower! I imagine there is a fantastic view from above! Why don't you add some photos of the terrace and maybe some chairs and a table to enjoy the view while having an aperitif?

Here are some tips on how to best photograph your home:

Good idea, thanks.  I'll wait for some bright blue skies though .... in England, that might be some wait 😉

Hi @Adriana1144, 

What a stunning location! 😍

In addition to the advice Andrea has shared with you,  I wanted to see if some of our other hosts might have more feedback: @Calvin173 @Bea2137 @Karen114 @Dr-Jayanthi1 @Thomas3789 - what do you think?

Thanks everyone for your help!

Hi @Adriana1144,

What an incredible property! This is such a unique property and experience, I wonder if you can really push that with Airbnb. Airbnb seems to really emphasize experiences and unique places to stay. I think your location fits that idea!

To continue to increase your bookings, here are a few ideas:

1. Dynamic Pricing: I see some small variance in your prices between weekdays and weekends. Have you considered creating more or a discrepancy on weekdays in order to drive more business?
2. Length of Stay Discounts: You could incentivize longer stays (3,5,7, or longer stays) by provided discounts for such stays. I would also advertise these near the top of your property description.
3. Up-Sells: One thing I do is offer a discount stay on the days before and after a reservation. I email guests offering a special rate for either/both of those days.

Hope this helps! Happy hosting!

Point 3, up-sell at either end, is a great idea!   The incremental cost to us is small (it does cost about £10/night in electricity because there is an electric Aga) so why not?  I'll try it!
