Excited New Host Here! How Did You Get Your First Booking?

[Ms--Iffat0]

Hey everyone! 

I'm thrilled to join the Airbnb host community and eager to welcome my very first guests! As a new host, I’m looking for some expert advice on how to attract that elusive first booking.

For those of you who’ve been in my shoes, what worked best for you? Any tried-and-true strategies or clever tips that helped you stand out? I’d love to hear your experiences and suggestions!

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Hi Dear New Host Iffat, 

Airbnb is a wonderful company and can be both emotionally and financially rewarding.

Our advice is to focus on delivering good service, be kind and enjoy the experience of hosting others. 

Also - Check other local Airbnbs & holiday accommodation for quality & price comparisons. 

All the best to you in your future.
