Help Shape a New Tool for Airbnb Hosts

[Francisco-Maria1]

Hello everyone,

My name is Francisco, and I'm a Master's student at Católica Lisbon SBE. Together with a small team, I'm currently building Guestly, a platform designed to help Airbnb hosts increase guest satisfaction and generate additional revenue through curated local experiences.

We're still validating the concept and would love to hear directly from hosts. If you host on Airbnb, your feedback would be incredibly valuable and will help us shape the platform around real host needs.

The survey takes less than 2 minutes to complete:

Guestly focuses on experiences such as private boat trips, food experiences, cultural workshops, surf sessions, and other authentic local activities that guests can book during their stay.

Thank you very much for your time and insights!
Francisco
