It’s a great experience to be an Air BNB host and soon I am going to get my third apartment and list on  Air BNB and I will welcome more guests.

Dubai is a wonderful and beautiful city. It is characterized by tourism and business. Everything is beautiful. I started my work in hosting a year ago. I feel happy when hosting and getting to know new people and new cultures.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, there have been changes and improvements. Since the beginning of my hosting, I have taken guests' requests and comments into consideration. My first guest, I felt that he was annoyed by the frequent calls and communication with him. And when he asked for something, he preferred that I do it when he was outside the hosting place. I took all these comments into consideration in the next hosting. And everything I noticed was missing in the place. I provide it in the next hosting. The big challenge is that there is a period of time when there is no tourism and there is no demand to book the hosting place. Which makes me rely on domestic tourism and reduce the price

Hi @عماد-شعبان0 , thank you for sharing your experience! It's amazing to hear how you've adapted your hosting style based on your guest feedback.  

Which has been your favorite feedback so far, that has completely changed your hosting game? 😍

Do you follow any specific strategies or plan to attract more bookings during the low tourism season?
