Decided to Air B and B last minute to let from summer hols. 48 hours and no enquiries. Any tips? 😊
Tip one: have more patience
The listing is not even in the search system ! (max. 72 hour waiting time)
Tip two:
Says 4 beds, only two visible on the bedroom-photos., type/size not choosen in the editor.
Add captions for all beds to the photos, then the "were you sleep" section will be added and show all 4 beds.
"Nopets" policy, so no need to mention dogs not being allowed upstairs (confusing)
Hello @Manzanera0, I just took a look at your profile and see that your listing is available and bookable, that's great!
Experienced host Emiel has shared some helpful suggestions. Have you had a chance to implement any of them yet?
Please keep us posted.
Don't panic just yet, as forty eight hours is a very short window for a brand new listing to catch wind in the algorithm. To get immediate eyes on your property, your absolute first move should be turning on Instant Book if you haven't already. Last minute summer travelers are almost always looking to lock their plans down instantly, and the search engine heavily favors listings that remove the approval friction for guests.
Next, take a close look at your booking restrictions and pricing. If you have a high minimum stay requirement like four or five nights, drop it down to two nights for the upcoming weeks. People looking for last minute summer trips are often searching for quick weekend getaways rather than long vacations. Combining a shorrter minimum stay with a temporary fifteen percent price discount will make you highly competitive against the established properties in your area.
Lastly, make your presentation match the urgency of the season. Temporarily change your main listing title to explicitly mention open summer dates or last minute availability so it catches the eye of people who are actively scrolling right now. Waking up a fresh listing is all about making it as easy as possible for a guest to click the booking button without a second thought. Hope this helpss!
