I’ve been hosting on Airbnb for the past 2 years, but I’m still facing serious challenges with my listing. I’m not getting any reservations—not even inquiries—despite being located in a prime area, just 3 minutes walking distance from Vagator Beach (Goa).
I’ve tried multiple strategies:
– Applied discounts and promotional offers
– Optimized pricing
– Updated my photos and description
But unfortunately, nothing has worked for me so far.
Could anyone please take a look at my listing and let me know what might be going wrong? I would really appreciate your honest feedback and suggestions so I can improve and finally start getting bookings.

@Pritam4 @Tara0 highlighted some very valid points to look into. I would agree that the pool area could be spruced up a bit and better staged. I believe I read that pools aren't common so that is what I would leverage. Make it look resort/spa like with nice lounges and cushions with side tables and maybe a champagne bucket. You want the guest to envision themselves there.
You have free parking, AC and Wifi. Are these common amenities in your area? Any one that may not be common such as maybe AC I would add to your listing title. Your listing title is good but you don't need 1 br as the filter has been applied for that.
Some of the reviews I read about insects and about cleanliness. I would add to your listing descrptioin under things to be aware of that you are in a tropical location where bugs and critters are to be expected. Also, you should be responding to all reviews, good or bad. This shows potential guests that you are dialed in and care and will engage.
I don't think you have any room to go lower on your pricing unless you are doing it for free. Lowering your prices will likely get you some bookings however the type of guest you likely don't want.
I hope you're doing well. I’ve recently fully optimized my Airbnb listing — it now has professional photos, and I’ve carefully worked on the title and description to make it more appealing and keyword-rich.
However, despite all of this, I’m still not getting any inquiries or bookings, even after several days. Would you be willing to take a quick look and let me know if you spot anything that might be affecting my listing’s performance?

Hi Pritam4 - I just went to your listings, and it appears you are getting some now per your reviews: one from 2 days ago, and another from 5 days ago. I second what your previous advice has been - you need to keep your pricing low until you rack up enough positive reviews, and then your listing will flourish. Best of luck to you! 🙂
