Critique my listing - Olubunmi in London, Ontario Canada.

[Olubunmi6]

I have been hosting a private room on Airbnb for 16 months, and my major worry is limited bookings in my listing. I am eager to boost my hosting activity this year. 

I would appreciate it if you could review my listing, point out any weaknesses, and suggest possible improvements.

A unique aspect of my listing is that I can only accommodate female guests, as I am a woman living alone in the house.

Here is the link to my listing; airbnb.com/h/romttwhsitg

Thank you for your help!

Hello @Olubunmi6,

You are doing great so far.

For future improvements and an eye-catching listing, try adding some cozy elements, like some suggested, rugs, wall decorations, and warm lighting. If possible, try some AI inspirations to plan before refurbishing.

I tried some myself using your living room and kitchen photos, Cozy kitchen it will make a big impression.

All the best.

Hi @Olubunmi6 

Your listing has a lot of potential! Here are some tailored suggestions to make it more inviting and improve your chances of attracting bookings/--

Photos/-- Brighten up your photos for a warmer feel. Make sure they are well-lit, straight, and showcase the space's best features. A cozy rug or a pop of color can also make the space more inviting.

Description/-- Clarify the kitchen access by stating "partial kitchen access" and detail the amenities available for use. Highlight the fact that it’s a safe, private space specifically for female guests.

Amenities/-- Adding a side lamp, colorful cushions, a mirror, or a small plant can give the room a welcoming touch. These small details can make guests feel more at home.

Market Appeal/-- Consider targeting long-term guests like traveling nurses or students. Mention strong Wi-Fi, a comfortable workspace, and the peaceful atmosphere, which are appealing to these groups.

Pricing/-- Review similar listings in your area to adjust pricing competitively, and consider offering discounts for longer stays.

Your space looks like a wonderful option for female travelers seeking comfort and safety. Best of luck, and feel free to reach out for more tips!

Hi @Olubunmi6,

I just checked out your listing, and I must say the new photos look fantastic—definitely a great improvement from the ones in the initial request!

One small suggestion: if you’re only offering a single room rather than the entire place, it might help to clarify that in the title and description. The phrase "Your cozy home away from home" could make some guests think they’re booking the entire space rather than just a room.

Of course, this is just my perspective, but a slight tweak might help set clear expectations and attract the right guests. Let me know what you think!

Best,
Wade
