10 biggest mistake host make: - [ ] Taking cell phone photos (pro photos) - [ ] Bad listing copy (read well) - [ ] Not responding quick enough (guestly) - [ ] Not automating (messaging, cleaning schedule, leaving reviews, pricing) - [ ] Offering discounts - [ ] Going cheap on furniture - [ ] Letting a bad review ruin your week - [ ] Not networking with other hosts - [ ] Canceling reservations - [ ] Splurging on the wrong things ($24 for 6 towels at Costco)

Good advice on not vibing with the negative groups that only rant. I just had a guest that took my pool towels to the beach and forgot them there. He told me about it and bought me new towels. The majority of guests are thoughtful. For them, we host!

@Justicia007 Жыл бұрын

Definitely important to remain positive! Remember some guests have bad experiences too with the listings that they go to. One guest of mine broke a beautiful glass of mine that was on a floating shelf labeled off limits to guests (I have an entire credenza of beautiful crystal glasses and plates they can use), and I was pretty upset that they used a glass from that shelf, but it was a young guy who apologized profusely, paid for several new glasses and wrote I'm sorry with a smiley face on my reversible sequin pillow on the day he left. 🙂 Little things happen, you have to learn to roll with the punches

@KyChristensen Жыл бұрын

Yes to not cancelling on guests. My husband and I spent the entire first day of our honeymoon in Rome at a cafe with wifi trying to find a hotel/AirBnb because our host cancelled on us 2 hours before check in. We paid triple what had budgeted for a place to stay and wasted hours trying to figure everything out. It was nightmare!

Your advice has helped with decision making, strategy, and resolving guest issues. Big hugs, as your channel has helped our airbnb succeed! Thank you! P.S. The guests we’ve gone above and beyond for always leave the weakest ratings, or reviews!! We learned the hard way.

Automating or making sure your guests know check in/out times is essential. Otherwise, they will show up when they want to expecting to check in. I literally just got a text from a guest who was told the check in time at booking. Again, two days prior to booking. And, today, a day prior to booking. I just got a text from them asking to check in at 8:00am....this is why most of my apartments are on regular rental leases.

I’m happy with my cellphone photos as I know my place looks better in real life so no disappointed guests. If I booked thinking somewhere looked 500 square feet and it was only 300 square feet, I’d not be happy and my review would echo that. I’m fully booked up for every day for the next four weeks, my reviews do my work for me and no photos that make it look bigger or brighter than it actually is.

Agree with everything you suggested except the cheap bed thing. As a frequent Airbnb guest and in the process of becoming a host myself, comfortable beds are a must. I will not reserve a property with any negative comment about bed comfort. Our last stay in Lake Havasu had AMAZING beds. Everyone in my whole family was talking about the bed comfort. You’re on vacay and want a good night’s sleep 😉 I’m not saying you gotta drop $5k on a Tempurpedic, but something middle of the road with a double mattress protector will last years before it needs replacing. Kids rooms you can afford to go a little cheaper, but the master bedroom should absolutely have a comfy bed. JM2C :)

Realtor for 35 years. If you’re not hiring a pro: on pictures take a LOT of pictures. Move yourself around as you take the pictures of the same thing. Turn lights off and on, use/don’t use the flash. Zoom in and out. Don’t post a lot of pictures just to post a lot of pictures; only post your best. Resize if it improves the pic, get a good photo editor. Remove clutter, and lastly put the gosh darn toilet lid down before taking the picture. 🥰
