Hi guys @Mounia-and-Marc0 

We all want more and all of it but let's be practical.

With due regards to what and how you managing and offering space 

I have following to share

You have 1 room that looks clean and good but add some planters (strongly beleive) and yes the Bathtub with box needs some Oxygen so adjust.

Add some discounts.

Happy Airbnbing

It’s totally normal to experience fluctuations in bookings, especially as a new host or during different times of the year.

Hello @Mounia-and-Marc0 ! Welcome to hosting. You have a nice and tidy place.

Firstly, It is quite normal to have slow months especially if the weather is cold. You would usually see a spike in your bookings in summer because people take vacations during that time more than they would in the winter. 

Secondly, what you could do on your end is upload photos that show the space off. You want it to look bright and open. Make sure you show the entire room when you take a photo so the guest can see what it looks like and imagine themselves using the space. Refrain from close-ups of objects. Take photos from different angles. Right now, it seems like the host may be trying to hide some parts of their space.  

Thirdly, if you could add any paintings or decorations or wall hanging shelves on the wall of very minimal sort, it would give some character to the space and make it more welcoming. 

These are some tips off the top of my head. Hope they are helpful.
