Critique my listing - Michelle in Cookeville TN

[Michelle3577]

Hi! I'm a new host, just over a week. I would like some feedback on my listing. I have had decent inquiries and 3 bookings since it went live at the very end of June.  What I am wondering may be problematic is the length of the about the space section. I didn't know how much was too much. I would love general feedback and feedback specifically about the verbiage in the section. Thanks! I'm looking forward to the critique.

Hello @Michelle3577 

What a lovely property Michelle😍 and I agree with you that the description could do with some editing.  I use bullet points in my description because I have learned from other hosts that most guests don't read anything and it's best to keep it short and sweet.  Highlight what stands out in your property and give them a reason to book with you.

A lot of what you describe could be added under the pictures which people DO look at!!

Take a look at the hosts listings that who reply to you and see how they go about describing their property to see if you find any inspiration there😉

There are also some great tips on the Airbnb site on how to set up your listings and also some great videos on the net that I found very useful.  The description is something that I tweak regularly, making it shorter rather than longer every time!

All the best

Joëlle
