@Renee705 Did you successfully publish your listing? I can't seem to see it on your profile. But you may consider the following and apply it to your listing to gain bookings.
- Ensure your listing has professional-quality photos. This includes good lighting, clean and tidy spaces, and various angles to showcase the best features of your property. Be clear and detailed in your description. Mention all amenities and any unique features. Honesty about any limitations helps set the right expectations.
-Research prices of similar listings in your area. Consider offering a slightly lower price initially to attract your first guests and build reviews.
-Enabling instant booking can make your listing more appealing as it allows guests to book without waiting for host approval.
-Provide a welcome guide with essential information about the property, local area recommendations (restaurants, attractions), and house rules. Small gestures like a welcome note, a bottle of wine, or local snacks can make a big difference in guest experience.
-Respond promptly to inquiries and booking requests. Good communication is key to making guests feel valued and supported.
-Ensure the property is thoroughly cleaned between guests. High hygiene standards are especially important in the post-COVID era. Provide amenities that add value, such as fast Wi-Fi, quality toiletries, and comfortable bedding.
-Update your listing frequently, and consider seasonal adjustments in decor or offerings. Adapt your listing to different seasons or local events, offering relevant amenities (e.g., heaters in winter, local event information). Hope this helps!
