What I am doing different?

Hi,

I have had 2 reserves in  my house.

My guests told me they were really satisfied with the service and left me very good feedback.

But nobody makes another reservation to me.

am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hello @Orquídea0. I guess it's low season now. You've got good prices, IB on. Try maybe to change something in your listing every day - might help.

Hi @Marzena4

I will do it. Thank you

January is not low season in the Dominican Republic. It is high season- guests from northern climes escaping the cold.

But the economy is not not necessarily good right now or people are wary of how it will turn- I am in Mexico, and I notice I have a bit less bookings than last year at this time (5 star Superhost, all good reviews so far) and more last minute bookings and cancellations and expired requests.

@Orquídea0 I had friend from Jalisco Mexico, she had a “Sancho”.

A “Sancho” is a man on the side that picks up the slack(wink wink).

When your main guy is lacking, get a Sancho, he will keep you nice and booked.

Hi @Rene-and-Zac0

Maybe I misunderstood your message but I don't want a Sancho, I want guests, people who pay me for being in my house, not for something else.

Maybe this one fills your needs but others are willing to fill them too. Maybe both at the same time frame. . @Orquídea0

@Orquídea0 A “Sancho” is a man On the side. Have other sites sell your room nights. 

 

@Rene-and-Zac0 oh, I understand now.
Ok
