Bookings an apartment when it is a private room.

I am finding that 3/4 of my bookings  think that they are renting a whole apartment when it states a private room, it is such a waste of time. How can l stop this?

People don't take everything in in the description! All I can suggest is you change your listing so the first line is something like 'The room we are renting in our apartment is...'

It may help (it may not!).

Your apartment is sooo~ lovely @Toni82 !!! And the view is....WOW!

 

 I think @Ben205 made a good suggestion (it's what I have done as well), even though people really do not read descriptions carefully. In my case, I specify "(my home) has a total of 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms. Our one and only guest will have full PRIVATE use of the guest bedroom and bathroom which is across the hall from the bedroom. Host uses the 2 other bedrooms and en-suite bathroom".

 

Also, I find that people tend to focus more on the pictures, so you could specify Guest Bedroom (Private), Guest Bathroom(Private), Living Room/Kitchen (SHARED SPACE) for each picture you have.

 

Hope this helps!
