Try doing a 20% off  promotion for the upcoming weekend or week if you aren’t  already booked- whatever your average stay length is. This will move your listing to the top of the search with a slash thru the price. People will look at your listing first and probably just book and not even keep looking because they won’t want to miss out on the deal. 

I did this past 3 weekends and got booked all three!

 

The house and furnishes are gorgeous but look a little sterile. Perhaps more color on the walls and less throw pillows- they look like a magazine photo shoot, but no one really uses them. Maybe a few colorful pillows or throw blankets instead for some pops of color.

Hi @Sumaira1, have you had a chance to see @Dawn241's suggestions? I'm also sharing some articles here related to how to get more bookings.

 

I hope this is helpful.

One quick fix is for you and your cohost to upload a photo of yourselves on your profiles and complete some profile information as Airbnb requests. @Sumaira1 

 

What market research did you do before setting up your listing around supply and demand including seasonal peaks and lows .?
