Hi Mabel, welcome to the Airbnb family! 🌟
Congrats on launching your first listing — that’s a big step!
A few beginner tips that really helped me get bookings:
✨ Photos matter the most — bright, clean, and wide shots. Airbnb also offers a professional photographer for a fee, and you don’t pay upfront — the cost is simply deducted from one of your future bookings.
✨ Write a warm, clear description — highlight what makes your cottage special (quiet area, cozy space, nature, privacy, etc.).
✨ Turn on discounts for weekly or monthly stays — it helps new listings appear more in search results.
✨ Respond fast to every inquiry — Airbnb boosts listings with quick communication.
✨ Share your listing link on social media and with friends — it helps with early visibility.
You’re off to a great start already. If you ever want another host to take a look at your listing and share feedback, I’m happy to help! 🌿💛
