Lots of great suggestions already. One of the most important things you can do is ensure your listing is complete. The search algorithm counts listing completeness as a factor in search rank. 

 

Missing Information/Sections on Listing

Your listing is missing alot of information and sections have not been completed? After publishing there is a lot more information to add to complete the listing. Here is a Guide for New Hosts with tips on how to do that:

Amenities Incomplete

You are missing a lot of amenities and addl info on the ones you have listed. Go to the Listing Editor/Amenities and click ALL at the top and add every amenity you have. Then click EDIT at the top and you'll see pencil icons indicating add information you need to add. Also, Airbnb indicates you don't offer Hot Water?

Photos Incomplete

Add captions to ALL your photos.

 

The Where You'll Sleep section is missing. You need to go to the bedroom photos and add the type/size of the bed under sleeping arrangements in order for that to appear. 

 

House Rules

You are missing some important House Rules. Go to the Listing Editor and finish completing that section.

 

Neighborhood Section Missing

This is important to guests. It is found in the Listing Editor under Location. You should complete the listing location verification in this section as well, or Airbnb will delay paying you for your first two bookings.

Guest Safety Section Incomplete

It looks like guests need to climb stairs to reach the bedrooms? You need to add this to the Guest Safety Section in the Listing Editor.

Title

You title should not use the name of the property as it doesn't mean much to guests. No need to mention Mysore, as guests already know the location. Instead list what are your best amenities or unique features like "Free Parking - Walk to xxxxx" or whatever are your best features.

Hi...

 

I noticed the write up in the first paragraph has improper spacing between words and punctuation... feed the write up into word and spell check it. Those errors hint at attention to detail lacking.

 

I noticed hot water is crossed out in the amenities. Guests expect hot water.

 

The convertible room... is an awkward room name.

 

Master/second is awkward as well... the master is THE bedroom not secondary.

 

I think these are the things that created the biggest sense of doubt in the listing. 

 

It looks like a really nice place.

 

Maybe having the photos set up in a way that makes the person feel like they are walking through the place.

 

Hello @Sandeep135 .

 

Your property itself looks quite nice, but one suggestion that can really help increase your inquiries is upgrading your photos. High quality, professionally taken images make a huge difference in attracting guests and improving listing performance.

 

If Airbnb doesn’t provide a free photographer in your area, you can hire a local photographer to shoot bright, clear, well-composed photos of each room and key amenities. This small step can significantly boost your visibility and help more guests engage with your listing.

 

Hope this helps and wish you great success with your hosting journey.
