Buy a property with an Air B&B account

We have bought a house in Norway who is renting out through Air B&B. The house has many really good feedbacks from guests. Is it poosible to get these comments to Our account? We have already a house were we rent out a house.

No - the ratings belong to the host, not the property.

No @Gyri4 . The ratings and reviews belong , quite rightly,  to the previous host for the quality of their hosting.

 

if you are already a host just add a new listing to your profile.

Do we need to add the house to our profile again. There i sno way we can "copy/ paste" the New house to Our profile?

No you can’t copy someone else’s listing. it is not your listing it belongs to the previous owner. You need to set up a new listing on your profile and choose your pricing, cancellation policy etc. 

 

Why not contact them and ask if they will let you have the images and whether they are happy for you to use their copy.  @Gyri4 

 

what discussions did you have with them when you bought the place regarding the listing?

When he sold it he adviced us to rent the house through AirBB- and said we could use his profile/ take over his comments etc. But if you could help us copy his profile it would be very helpful!

 

The house is in VESTERÅLEN, https://www.airbnb.no/rooms/23835377?source_impression_id=p3_1572953298_D32lIRM25pRa9kUd

Sadly the host misled you @Gyri4  - as already advised this is not possible.


All you can do as mentioned earlier is ask the original host if they can sen you photos and if you can use their copy. 

You can’t transfer or copy the listing you need to start from scratch.
