Hello @Sarah5261
Here’s what I did when I was new to hosting.
1. Price competitively, especially when you’re just starting out, rate your property a lil lower than your competitors so you can easily get the bookings you need.
2. Write a detailed and accurate description of your listing. Highlight everything your guests need to know about your property.
3. Pay attention to your photos especially the cover photo it’s the primary thing guests notice in search results.
4. Don’t cancel reservations. Airbnb takes cancellations seriously. Learn to manage your calendar, block off dates if you can’t host.
5. Interaction between guests and hosts is important. Make sure you don’t miss any incoming messages. Keep the Airbnb app on your phone and be sure notifications are turned on.
6. Think of delightful touches that you would appreciate if you travelled. Be thoughtful and creative to make your guests happy.
Happy hosting!
