1. Spend a few minutes responding to positive (and negative) reviews.

Responding to reviews is a great way to show thanks and gratitude even after your guests have left. You should especially respond if the review is negative. Always work out the issue as quickly as possible and offer your apologies. Be professional and acknowledge the fault!

2. Leave a few guest reviews.

Leaving a review about your guest will let them know one last time how warmly they were received and how much you appreciate their stay. This, in turn, will also leave the guests with a lasting impression of the host.

3. Add more detail to your listing page.

A guest is going to want to know as much information as possible up front, so spend a few minutes reading over your listing page to see if all the information is accurate and if there are any more details to add. Try to be as straightforward as possible so that there are no surprises!

4. Hire us to take professional photos of your rental property.

In today’s world, great marketing is the result of great visuals. Sending us a message takes no time at all! Professional photos will help your listing stand out, it speaks to the validity and dedication of the host, and lat’s face it, your iPhone photos will not do your space justice.

Learn more about why professional photography is so important.

5. Start creating your own city guide booklet.

Help your guests feel more comfortable and acquainted the area by providing a simple booklet with some your favorite restaurants, parks, activities, or shops nearby. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy— a word document with some photos will suffice! In addition, Airbnb now has the option to add these recommendations right to your host’s profile. Your guests will greatly appreciate your knowledge of the local scene.
