tips for getting new booking

4 Replies 4

Hey @Lalita19 
Solid start with a Top 5% badge and 7 clean reviews right out the gate. Add a couple more photos of the second bedroom and shared bathroom, they're your lowest-mentioned spots in reviews right now, and guests tend to book what they can actually see, not just read about. Also don't set your calendar once and forget it, check it every 30-60 days and drop any minimum-stay restriction on short gaps between bookings.
Hope this helps!

Hello @Sarwar7, I hope you’re doing well.

 

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the helpful suggestions you’ve been sharing with hosts in the community. It’s great to see you taking the time to support others!

 

I was wondering where you’re hosting from. I took a look at your profile, but it appears that you’ve joined the Community Center using your guest profile.

 

Keep us posted!

Hi @Paula , thank you so much, that really means a lot. I've been enjoying digging into these questions and sharing what I can.

To answer your question, I'm not hosting yet, I joined the community while preparing to become a host myself, planning to get my first listing up soon. My background is actually in software engineering, I just graduated, and I've built a few automation tools along the way, which is part of what pulled me toward hosting and the operational side of short-term rentals in the first place. I find the mix of systems thinking and hospitality genuinely interesting.

I'll definitely keep the community posted once I'm up and running. Thanks again for reaching out, and for everything you and the team do to keep this space so helpful.
