Hi @Harshita5   😊, 

Thank you for asking this question here!

Have you been getting any reservations so far?

I’m tagging a few hosts to see if they have any advice for you: @Kate-And-Mitch0, @Rudolf103, @Ranveer1, @Nicole4029, @Ahmed1048 and @Robin4.

Thank you in advance, everyone!

Hello @Harshita5 ,

It’s great to see you in the Airbnb community!

From my personal experience, I would recommend communicating with guests by politely addressing their questions. Tourists traveling to a new city and staying in someone’s home often have a lot of queries, and being welcoming in your responses builds trust.

One of the best things you can do is to improve and clearly detail your listing description — this can prevent many common questions from coming up.

Also, one of the features I find most helpful is using Airbnb’s Quick Replies. Since many guest questions are repetitive, saving your responses as Quick Replies allows you to answer quickly and efficiently.

Wishing you great success on your hosting journey!

I second making sure your listing is descriptive and ensuring that you have great photos by a professional photographer! After those things, ensure that your pricing is competitive for the area for number of guests you sleep, etc. I have really liked using Pricelabs for dynamic pricing (changes with the market, holidays, bookings in nearby listings, etc). You do have to pay for it but have found we already made back what we pay because of how effective the pricing is!

Airbnb guests rely heavily on your rating as a host. Hosts live and die by the 5 star rating. If you're new to the platform, let your description and photos do the convincing. Don't embellish. If you embellish your listing and describe it as something it isn't,  guests will rate it accordingly and there's no better way to have your place remain vacant for long stretches as a result.  Honesty is always the best policy.
