Describe your 2024 as a host in one word

Hosting 2024 Airbnb Community Center.jpeg

 

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

My guests acknowledgements of my service and the home. Everybody has ranked me 5 star. This puts me in more challenging future. I will have to achieve only 5 star from all the guests. It is more than earning money.

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

@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👈
