New to AirBnB. Not getting any bookings.

I'm new to AirBnB. I've had my listings up for several weeks now with no bookings.

Please look at my listings (x3) to see if there is a red flag mistake I'm making here.

Thank you kindly,

Sid Guel

Just offering ideas  

Cover photo 3 different listings for a single bedroom each same exterior shot of a whole house. not a room and not different so I had to dig to figure out 3 bedrooms

Possibly 6 guests if full sharing 1 bathroom and 1 kitchen with no rules set and it doesn't appear you live there,  Common sense is not always common.

You allow pets what are the rules or is somebody's dog going to bite me on the way ti the bathroom?

Show pictures of the kitchen.

Beef up your description to speak about the sharing and comfort level for Guests.

There is a 3 day limit on booking time allowed that is a very narrow market

Hi @Isidro43

@Marie8425 offered some great suggestions.

 

Look at Other Listings in the Area

One good way to get ideas is to look at other listings in the area that are doing well with full calendars. This will give you an idea how your listing should look and what you are missing.

 

Photos

Single best thing you can do with the highest return on investment is to get professional photos done. Generally around $250 and worth every penny; plus you can deduct as a business expense. Put captions/descriptions on all your photos. As @Marie8425 said, each listing should have a distinct/different cover photo so guests know which room is which. 

 

Listing is Missing Alot of Sections

Go to your Listing Editor and click every card (square) on the left side; sections to edit will appear on the right side. Go through every section and add your information.

 

Guest Safety Section

Lots of missing information like:

Pets Live on Property?

Must Climb Stairs?

Shared Spaces? List all shared spaces including parking? driveway? outdoor spaces/patio/deck?

Safety Section - Dangerous Animals?
