Critique my listing

[Varnika0]

Hi! I'm Varnika from Zirakpur, India. I've just started hosting and I'm here to ask for suggestions to better my listings. I've put out three listings but it's been around 3-4 days and I haven't received any booking yet 😅. How long does one typically wait before hitting off first booking? As I mentioned, all three listings are in Zirakpur, India with Zirakpur being a tier 2 Indian city.

Hi @Varnika0! Congratulations on listing your space on Airbnb. Sometimes it can take awhile for the bookings to start rolling in. It looks like your property is clean and spacious. Might I suggest adding more inviting and/or eye catching decoration. Make each space in your property stand out, and highlight your amenities in your photos. You will do great. Enjoy the thrill of short term rental hospitality!

Hello Varnika, 

Congrats on your new listings, I am relatively new as a host but have just had a lot of great feedback from other hosts on my own listing. 

From looking at your photos your property is wonderfully clean and spacious and has a lovely elegance in the living area with the rich colours in the fabrics on the sofa and the quality of your curtains really stands out, however I feel this is lost in the bedrooms. 

Someone mentioned to me that you really want to show the guest visually what they will experience so that the photos play to the emotions and feelings of what they will have when they stay there. 

In my humble opinion, I would make a big change to the bedrooms by adding fluffy and luxurious looking bed linen and cushions ( like a wonderful hotel bed) so that they look more inviting. 

something as simple as making the beds up and taking new photos could have a huge impact... think about what you look for when you are booking a vacation stay for yourself! 

Best of luck with your bookings!
