Hey there,

Harsh from Cozinn this side.

I checked ur property and u should do few tweaks.

Like, change the minimum number of nights needed to book from 5 to atleast 1-2

Change some policies like partying, smoking, checkin time to morning and afternoon.

Some leniancy with that might attract more guests.

Adding some more photos lest be of the same space and some bright ones.

Your pricing is still good and even the property looks good.

If u need more help with getting more Bookings, u can reach us at Cozinn( Cozinn.com)

We run more than 180+ properties in the country.

We might help with that

Your listing says no dryer, no heating, no smoke or CO detectors.  I think you need to add these things, or correct your listing if they do exist.

I think your min stay of 5 nights is killing you.  Try going to 2 night min, and maybe offer a discount for stays of 5 days or longer.

Also, if this is a new listing, you can also offer a discount for the first 3 reservations (for example). It will be worth it to get rentals coming in, and get some reviews specific to this property.

Great looking property. Good luck!

Make the house a bit more cozy with more art and nice touches. Definitely change the minimum stay requirement as others have said.  Better photos would be good too!

Hi Ravi

I have stayed a few times in Kochi in the past. Most foreign travellers want to stay in the old town, Fort Kochi, and your listing is unlikely to attract those visitors. I expect you will gain bookings from the local market.

As others have said, reduce your minimum stay from 5 to 2 nights. You can always increase it when you have gained good reviews.

Have a look at other listings which are getting bookings and copy some of their ideas. As others have suggested, include soft furnishings and art work on the walls. Add some greenery, real or artificial plants. Basically add some individual character to the home.Maybe show pictures which illustrate the views from the rooms too.

I don't think you need to include a photo of the cutlery drawer - would you decide to rent a place based on a few spoons and forks?

Good luck,

Jo

Hi @Ravi578  ! As previous replies really … look and compare your property to similar Air B&B properties in the area - do recommend you reduce your minimum stay ! Place looks lovely  ( get rid of the cutlery drawer photo though🥴) and definitely fit smoke detectors …. but main point for me , coming from UK, is what would entice me to visit Kochi ? Tell me a more about why I should visit your part of the world !?
