Inquiry, views and bookings

Inquiry, views and bookings

 I am a super host have with over 80 reviews and a 75% occupancy rate  and yet sometimes it seems like I'm the only Airbnb host that gets three views a day and one inquiry a month.    I see all these other hosts with stats like 200 views a week and they're always talking about how they get inquiry after inquiry etc. Is this actually true.?I would like to hear from other hosts how many inquiries and views they actually get.   I get so few views and inquiry's  that it's a miracle that I'm booked most of the year.

@Roy-And-Patti0 For me, it comes and goes in waves. I opened last May and gradually expanded. For several months now I have the little 'lightbulb' that says 'This Home Is On People's Minds', and the weekly views are generally in the range of 90 to 205 views per week (I'd say 125 views a week is an average for me, which translates to 18 - 20 views a day, per the ABB chart under 'Progress' / 'Views'. I've had times where I get 40-plus views a day - January has been my busiest month ever in terms of views and bookings as people planned and booked their summer vacations (I live 300 feet from the beach in a popular vacation rental area on the Oregon coast). 

 

I have had close to 100% Occupancy since opening but I do closely monitor my listing and any changes ABB makes to their website to be sure I am up to date so I don't get filtered out in searches unless I want to be (e.g., my place is not suitable for very young children for various reasons and I choose not to be in the 'Family' category at this time, but could be, if I wanted to, as I qualifed). 

 

I mostly get Instant Bookings - only rarely an inquiry or request.  In January I sometimes had four bookings a day. Now it has settled down and I get about one booking every five days but I am mostly sold out through September and that's the main reason why I have less bookings. I have gone as long as 2 weeks without an inquiry or booking but that is rare.

I think your reviews is what is doing it for you, they exude confidence in people (and good value). You are also booked almost solid 3 months in advance, which leads me to think you may have a 'silent' following, that only show up when it is time to book.
