Critique my listing - Akaash in Bhimtal, India

[Akaash4]

Hello Airbnb Family,

A newbie here, just dipped my toes into the hosting community. I would like your thoughts, impressions on my Airbnb link. Please be totally honest with regards to:

- How better can I improve upon my listing photos and craft an engaging narrative?

- Is my text heavy wall of descriptions, engaging?

- Do you feel as a potential customer, that you desire to stay over at my place after viewing the pictures/descriptions.?

- Anything else that comes to your mind, that I can improve upon, so as to increase my bookings.

As per the community guidelines I am attaching my listing picture for your constructive feedback: @Bhumika @Paula

Hi @Akaash4 !  My name is Blanca been with airbnb 4 months with all 5 stars reviews to be honest everything looks good, congratulations .  In my personal experience is to be honest,  good comunicación and do as you would like a place to be for yourself, people will let you know for sure . No one has really guided me, everything is upon what happens with every stay, I learn as I go however my best recommendation is to join groups they do talk and teach you many important things that they have experience and in a way to solve some issues you may encounter.  Also have clear vision of your rules that’s what has helped me to provide a fantastic experience and to be happy providing the best service possible on every stay.  Hope you find my experience helpful 🌸

[Akaash4]

@Blanca435 Thank you for your wise words. I will surely follow your recommendations and join a few groups. I am still learning a lot, being new in the system and will surely take your suggestions about being a good communicator and providing the best service possible to heart.

Hi @Akaash4  Nice homestay. Whenever I will go for Darshan of Baba Neeb Karori Maharaj I will stay in your homestay.  Your homestay is neat and clean and very well managed by you.

Hi, I am also new to the business and trying to understand better the way to comprehensively show the property for lease.  Your property looks great, and I would love to stay there.  However I would include more panoramic pictures of rooms and outside to really lure a person to book it.  I also think that it is beneficial to have picture of the map with stores, gas stations, restaurants around the place to give better idea of the infrastructure. I don´t have it myself but I am going to add it (just got the idea).  

[Akaash4]

Great idea @Natalia1686 I will definitely create a map to give a better idea of the infrastructure, and add a couple of Activities/adventure sports as well.
