New to Airbnb and would like some advice on how to attract more bookings. Been getting a few bookings mostly on the weekend. My cabin is located in Helen, GA, September and October are the biggest months for rental for Octoberfest.
Listing link: Cabin in Sautee Nacoochee · ★5.0 · 2 bedrooms · 4 beds · 2 baths

Hi- sweet cabin, but I find it a little confusing- is the apartment part of the house ? Is is rented separately ? I think that needs clarification- and captions on the pics will help.
lastly you we’d artwork- personality on those walls. It’s a charming place but a little more light and character will go a long way.
Good Luck- it should be a great home for an airbnb !
For a new Airbnb listing, I would suggest setting up a custom promotion for a period of time and set the discount to 20%. This would cause your rental to be highlighted and have emails sent to guests by Airbnb. This would hopefully create a flow of rentals for you. Ensure 5 star reviews with these rentals. The more 5-star reviews you receive the more appealing your rental will be. I utilize the custom promotion discount to attract visitors during slow periods.
hello 👋 you have a great place. I would add some bedside lamps, and some decoration to make it more cosy 💚
Buongiorno @Craig806 ,
nice cabin! just two small suggestions:
a) add captions to your photos
b) add a map of the cabin so it's easier to understand how it's laid out
good luck!

Hopefully some helpful ideas
I would reconsider the "Flexible" cancellation if you are aware special event.
Your description is great info but I suggest you move the information to where on individual photos you can give room information.
I agree though a better information about the layout. The first thing I see is 2 bedrooms but 4 beds. Your description hints studio like area and loft or are those the 2 bedrooms?
I can't tell in your photos either?
Don't demand the Guest imagine if the table comfortably seats 6 take a picture of it set for 6.
Show a better picture of living room seating, it looks like only 2.
On amenities an Airbnb Bug it says No Essentials.
I would closely review your competitors pricing. Not all rentals are week long stays even in Hawaii I managed some rentals that the market was weekends. Are you in that market? Are you in the position you want to be right now? Review your expense model again, if your market is weekends sure you lose profit on those days nut you also loose expenses of a Guest. Then apply that to your expected money from the rental of the cabin and can that be met by a higher weekend pricing model?
Thank you all for the great ideas, the information provided was very informative. I will start working on my listing and making some necessary changes.
I think I would turn on all lights when you’re taking photos. It helps to brighten up the space and makes it a strong photo.
Also take photos in the daytime with all lights on (but photographer will be best). New photos definitely - the algorythm also knows if they are phone or PRO.
Hello, @Craig806
Improve your listing description by making it less of a sales pitch and, instead, give more information. You could cut about 25% of the existing words and add ones with more info about your area and your Airbnb. For example, you didn't mention OctoberFest in your description.
(Also, I make little improvements to my Airbnb every month or so, depending on what my guests say.)
If you like, please look at my listing. I've been a host for two years and usually have a rating of 4.94 or 4.95. My occupancy rate tends to vary between 60 - 95%.
Search the Airbnb site for "Private entrance, bedroom, bath, patio, & parking, Room in Encinitas, California, Stay with Rebecca Anne."
My Airbnb is "One of the most loved homes on Airbnb, according to guests."
Below is my entire listing information, but the first paragraph is the most important.
Wishing you increased bookings,
Best regards,
Becky
@Craig806 PS. Potted plants inside and on your porch would make your offering more inviting. I always have a bouquet of fresh flowers on the patio, bathroom, and bedroom. Guests love that.
Wishing you good results,
Becky
@Craig806 I think it looks great! I lower my price compared to other listings around me and was booked every weekend this summer.
Merhaba çok güzel eviniz daha çok rezervasyon almak için promosyon yaparsanız bence iyi olur
Bir de fiyatı emsallerine göre en uygun fiyata çekin isterseniz çünkü misafirler en uygun fiyatı tercih ediyorlar
