Hi Devraj,
Thanks for sharing I totally understand how tough it can be to stand out on Airbnb, especially in a competitive area like Thamel. Your offerings already sound amazing with meditation and trekking experiences that’s a great niche!
Here are a few tips that could help boost visibility and bookings
Optimize Your Title & First Photo: Your listing title should be clear, catchy, and benefit-driven (e.g. “Peaceful Apartment in Thamel + Guided Meditation & Trekking”). And your first photo should show the most inviting space usually the bedroom or a well-lit living area.
Leverage Airbnb Experiences: You can list your meditation and trekking separately under Airbnb Experiences, which can help drive more people to your profile.
Use Smart Pricing: Airbnb’s Smart Pricing tool helps keep you competitive, but I also recommend manually adjusting prices during peak tourist seasons or local events.
Get Bookings Through Longer-Term Discounts: Offering weekly or monthly discounts can attract digital nomads or retreat-goers who stay longer.
Review & Response Strategy: Consistent, thoughtful responses to reviews and inquiries boost your search ranking and help build trust quickly.
If you’d like more hands-on help, I actually specialize in co-hosting and guest experience management. I’d be happy to support you in optimizing your listing, managing guests, and improving visibility. Feel free to message me directly if you’re open to a chat!
Wishing you lots of bookings ahead!
Warm regards,
