Hello Everyone, 

I haven't been getting bookings on my listing since last year, i have a One bedroom basement suit in Brampton. 

I really need help, any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

@Kingsley36 I'm new to airbnb so I don't know how much help I am but I love to decorate and look at BnB's 🙂 Your place looks nice and tidy and has all the basic needs. If I were coming to stay I feel like it might be nice to see where I would be entering. It also would be nice to know how the area is separate from the main house. I would also add any written information you can to all your photos boxes. That may give people the feeling of security and privacy before booking. 

If you are feeling like you want to add any updates to your place, I think floor length curtains attached to the top of your basement windows would add privacy but also make the room look larger and warm. Take the bed and center it between the two curtains. Take the picture you have there and put it in the laundry room on the large tiled wall to add alittle something to that wall. Maybe add a nice piece of wood to the shelf where the furnace bumps out in the living area and add a nice picture. Lastly, you could touch up the paint in the bathroom and around the doorway going into the bathroom to freshen it up! 

Maybe this will help?

Hi @Kingsley36 

Ranking higher in search results will help you get more bookings. At this point a good way to get your listing higher up, is to add more information so that the listing is classified as more complete. Go to the Listings tab, click the listing and look at every item in the Listing Editor to see what you can complete, or where you can add more information. For example, at the moment your description of the property is only one sentence - you'll need to expand that, and attend to any other places where you may be missing content.

Here's a guide on search rank that also discusses general factors:

Hope it helps!
