How can I further improve my listing for better visibility and bookings?

[Ayse147]

Hello everyone! 😊
I would love to get your insights on my listing in Konyaaltı, Antalya. It's a modern 3-bedroom duplex within walking distance to the beach, with floor heating, AC in all rooms, fast Wi-Fi, a large terrace, and a shared pool. I also offer a PS5, which many guests enjoy.

Here is my listing:
https://www.airbnb.com.tr/rooms/1189918571159964102

I'm looking for advice from experienced hosts about what improvements or updates I could make to increase visibility and attract more bookings — especially during low season.

A few specific questions:
• Do you think I should update any of the photos?
• Is there anything missing in my description that could highlight the value better?
• Would adding short videos (check-in instructions, terrace showcase, pool area) help engagement?
• Any suggestions for improving my title or amenities list?
• What features stand out most to you — and what feels unclear?

I would really appreciate your feedback.
Thank you so much in advance! 🙏

Hi Ayse,

your place has strong fundamentals – the location, modern setup, and the private roof terrace are exactly what guests look for in Konyaaltı. To increase visibility, I’d focus on three areas:

1. Photo order

Your photos are good, but the sequence doesn’t highlight the strongest assets fast enough. Try starting with:

1. Brightest living room shot

2. Roof terrace

3. Pool area

4. Master bedroom

5. Kitchen
   Guests decide within seconds, so the first five photos need to show value immediately.

2. First lines of your description

You have great details, but the key benefits are not placed at the top. If you highlight these in the first three lines:
– 3 bedrooms
– private roof terrace
– 5-minute walk to the beach
– modern comfort (PS5, floor heating, strong Wi-Fi, 2 bathrooms)
…you’ll get more clicks in search results.

3. Title

Your current title is useful but a bit long. A cleaner version could perform better, for example:
“Modern 3BR • Roof Terrace • 5 min to Beach • Pool & Fast Wi-Fi”

Extra tip:

A short 15–20 second video of the terrace, living room, and pool often increases engagement, especially in the low season. Airbnb tends to push listings with video higher.

Fantastic advice @Nikola681 😊 but just one thing for @Ayse147 to note, we aren't permitted to add a video to our listing description so it's impossible to get pushed higher in the search rankings as a result.  You're probably thinking of another platform that does allow for this😉

[Ayse147]

Thank you @Joelle43 🙂
Yes, that's true. Airbnb doesn't currently allow adding videos to listing descriptions. Unfortunately, it's not possible to gain ranking advantage through video. That's why I couldn't implement the video suggestion.

Thanks for all the other suggestions, though; they were all very helpful 😉

[Ayse147]

Hello,

Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. Unfortunately, we can't currently add videos to Airbnb, but I've implemented the other adjustments you suggested.

I've updated the photo order as you suggested, strengthened the first few lines of the description, and revised the title to make it clearer and more engaging.

Your suggestions were really helpful. Thank you again for your interest!

Sincerely,
Ayşe

Hi @Ayse147 😊, 

Thank you for asking for a listing critique here.

Are you considering implementing any of the suggestions from our host Nikola?

@Joelle43 Thank you so much for clarifying about the videos.

[Ayse147]

Hi @Elisa 😊

Thank you so much for your feedback.
Yes, I implemented most of Nikola's suggestions—especially updating my photo order and the first lines of the description. It was very helpful.

As for videos, as @Joelle43 pointed out, I can't implement that part because Airbnb doesn't currently support adding videos to listings.

Thank you for your support and guidance!
