How is my listing?

[Kim5121]

I am new to using this feature through Airbnb. I want to book more. I’m not sure what more I can do. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Hi @Kim5121  😊, 

Thank you for asking for a critique listing here.

Where are you hosting from? Is it maybe a slow season for you right now?

I’m tagging a few hosts who can suggest something for you: @Tara0, @Till-and-Jutta0, @Marie8425, @Branko38, @Cindy1764 and @Tariq52.

Thank you in advance, everyone!

Hi @Kim5121 I'm not sure what you're asking? Your listing looks great, fully 5* ratings and reviews, and in the top 1% of guest favourites. 

If you mean you want more bookings, then perhaps lower the price?

You have tied in good to the hotel, but I think that has created a hotel designation limit on your property.  Reading your reviews everyone mentions the hotel as part of their plans so your location is great.

That's gone very well but your obviously a great family vacation spot too, one review mentioned zoo and child proofing.

You could rewrite your ad desccription to include borh details.

Another idea though is it isn't consider a duplicate listing if you offer a different rental.  If you make like one bedroom locked (easy interior electronic locks)  You can list the same property as a 2 bedroom and as a 3 bedroom.  Different prices because one is 4 guests and the other is six guests.  You can mention your other Airbnb listing i n your ad.  Focus that descriprion to a family planning a week vacation.  You have to entertain kids so zoo and anything else.  Families on vacation like barbecues comfy decks yards for kids to run.  lol  Different mindset but having kids doesn't mean economy always.  Your place is beautiful/  Are you near any winter family fun skiing or sledding?

This is an excellent approach and I do it as well. Additionally,  how often do you update your prices? How often do you update your description and pictures?

Tweak the prices on a day-to-day basis, description, and pictures once a week. That will trigger the platform to show that you are an active host and show your property more often.

Just an idea, tweaking your prices that often might be detrimental because think if your shopping for something like your vacation.  Your shopping usually takes a few days when a larger item , if the price of the car you like changes everyday, you will notice and it may not created a positive message to you the consumer.  Ad changes to the consumer is not as negative as not feeling the price is stable.

What you could change even on a daily basis is an Airbnb Custom Discount.  20% Airbnb promotes the sale days.  The consumer is motivated of a sale and sales changing .Changing the actual price daily can say I am not firm on what I am charging

You want the search display boosts but remember you are selling to the consumer not search.
