Describe your 2024 as a host in one word

[Rebecca]

Hello everyone 👋




As the year comes to an end, many of us reflect on how the last 12 months have gone. Whether it was full of ups, some downs, surprises or interesting meets, I think it’s safe to say we’ve all had yet another big year. ✨

With that in mind, I’d like to invite you to look back on 2024 together: can you think of one word that encapsulates the past year for you?

Looking forward to reading all your words of choice! 😃

Wishing you all the best, 
Rebecca

@Hong602  Such an honest way to capture your year. What’s been the biggest challenge you’ve faced?

[Senthilprabhu0]

Appreciation – Feeling grateful for a guest’s glowing review that highlighted the little details I worked hard on.

@Senthilprabhu0  That’s such a wonderful feeling😊

What little detail in your space or hosting style do you think made the biggest impact on your guests?

[Senthilprabhu0]

@Quincy Here are my  tips based on my approach to improving guest experiences:

1. Offer Customizable Options:

• Provide guests with choices for bedspreads and room fresheners.

• Allow them to select their preferences to avoid forcing a default option, making them feel more comfortable and free.

2. Flexible Room Switching:

• If a guest books a room (e.g., on the ground floor) but later prefers another (e.g., on the second floor), offer them the option to switch if the desired room is available.

• This flexibility enhances their experience, especially during longer stays.

3. Focus on Guest Freedom:

• Small gestures like offering choices and accommodating changes create a sense of freedom and make guests feel valued.

These efforts ensure that guests have a personalized and enjoyable stay, leading to positive reviews and repeat bookings.

I hope this helps.

Hi @Farizal1. Are you thinking about making any changes for next year?

Perhaps you might find it helpful to ask the Community for a listing critique—getting feedback from fellow hosts can provide valuable insights that might help boost your bookings in 2025. You can learn more about how to request a listing critique by clicking here👈

@Mohamed-Riyas0  That’s amazing to hear you’re feeling more confident as a host! What’s been the key factor that boosted your confidence this year as you started hosting?

Congratulations on your first year as a host, @Tim4418! 🎉

If you had to pick one hosting lesson that has surprised you the most over this time, what would you say that was? 

[Tim4418]

The different ways people react.

Some people run the heating 24 hours a day, some don't

Some people leave a mess (uneaten food for example), some tidy up

Some people leave a great review, some people say nothing.

But it's all a learning curve!
