glamping

Hi can you please critique my listing and help me improve it? I've been a host for almost 3 years now, but had few requests and bookiings.

These are the 4 rooms I have available:

Glamping 1: https://www.airbnb.com.br/rooms/1131797002339971195?source_impression_id=p3_1778086635_P3lKHhGUiGJev...

Thank you so much!

@Eco-Refúgio-Cantareira0 Looking at your picture, even though it's glamping, it could be made to look at little more inviting.  There are no decorations inside the lodging, the walls are bare.  Maybe add some plants or pillows...could be natural indoor plants? something to make it look more inviting.  Maybe add a table with some necessities like water, wipes, hand sanitizer, snacks? Maybe add a book with local attractions in it, a first aid kit? a rug... Try to make it look more like home even though its glamping. 🙂

The photos of the area are beautiful and show that your concept is native to the landscape.  The accomodations look very "bare boned" for Glamping (glamour and camping) however, without any inviting elements for guests.  I'd suggest small touches that make your place the plush cozy hideaway by including big pillows, great bedding, even artificial green plants/succulents and warm lighting.  Your place is unique and you want guests to revel in its "luxury in the rough".  Hope this helps, happy glamping.

Hi @Eco-Refúgio-Cantareira0 👋

You've got some lovely replies from some experienced hosts here. Have you managed to take a look through? 

[Eco-Refúgio-Cantareira0]

Yes indeed! People are so nice and helpful!! ❤️

Unique stays like glamping and treehouses usually perform well when the experience is clearly communicated, so low bookings after a few years may mean the issue is more about positioning and conversion than the property itself. Sometimes hosts focus heavily on the space but not enough on the emotional experience guests are searching for. Your photos, thumbnail selection, listing title, storytelling, pricing strategy, and even photo order can heavily affect whether guests stop scrolling and book.

I’d also look closely at whether each listing targets a specific type of traveler. Nature couples, digital detox travelers, honeymoon guests, adventure travelers, and weekend escape guests all respond differently. If the listings feel too broad, Airbnb’s algorithm and guests may struggle to understand who the stay is really for.

Oh wow, that makes so much sense!! Thank you so much for these precious insights!

I still struggle a bit with pricing strategy on Airbnb. Do you have any recommendations on where I could start learning more about it?

Hello. 

I have opened our homestay for over one year, so I have little experience. However, I would like to share our listing and our facebook page. Here below are links:

I hope it could help you.

Your listing is lovely! I'd like to go. However, I find it a little confusing. There's a man drinking wine - are there glasses provided? Is there one chair on the deck or two? Is there a sink near that toilet? I think there's a lodge nearby for eating that looks wonderful, but those pictures come so far after all of the tent pictures that if I weren't motivated, I might have moved on. Move the pretty romantic picture with the petals and wine more to the top, maybe even the first one! Think about organizing the pictures like you are arriving: what will I see first? Where will I put my suitcase? Where will I sit? etc.

All bookings are down this year with the economic downturn, so you're not alone!

ALSO - IMPORTANT - some sights work with an Algorithm and if you don't follow it, your listing will not show up on searches. Turn on Instant Booking, have some discount specials and things like that.

Good luck.

Thank you SO much for your precious insights and support, Wendy. I'll apply the changes suggested, i believe them to be super helpful! Thank you again

Hi Mell, saw your critique request. Honestly the A-frame with the forest view through the open gable is a stunning shot and your single biggest asset, so first check that it is the cover photo on all four listings. That frame is what stops the scroll.

A few specifics: 1) Titles should lead with the experience and setting, like "A-frame glamping with forest view, Cantareira", not generic adjectives, and add the area so location searches find you. 2) With four separate listings your reviews and ranking are split four ways, so each cover and title has to carry its own weight. 3) After three years a quiet listing usually slips in ranking, so a short intro promo plus fast replies rebuilds booking velocity, which the algorithm rewards.

Good luck, the place looks magical.
