Really slow January

Hello, 

 

I am new to air bnb but the January and February booking are literally non existent. Is this usual? Any suggestions on how to generate bookings please?

Hi @Ruth1575 

 

London is a massively oversaturated market and January /February is traditionally low season so you will get less bookings .

 

How many days do you have before you reach your 90 day limit?

 

by the way it will put some guests off that you have no profile photo or host description. Airbnb does ask you to upload one as it instils trust .

@Ruth1575 Given the 90 day limit and the extra costs of heating in Winter I am amazed that hosts bother to list in Jan/Feb. Would you not be better aiming for a higher nightly rate which you should get between March and October. Then you can go on holiday somewhere warm in January!
