16. Set a fair price!
One of the first things guests will look at when choosing a
place to stay is the cost per night. With that in mind, it’s smart to charge a
rate that works well for both you and your guests.
“If you set your price too high, you're less likely to get
bookings and also your guests are probably going to expect a lot more from the
experience and are more likely to be let down,” Vincent said. “If you set your
price too low, you might get more bookings but it might not be worth it for the
amount of work you have to put in.”
How do you determine that pricing sweet spot? Look at rates for
comparable Airbnb listings and nearby hotels and you’ll be able to quickly
determine where to set your price.
“If bookings start to slow, you might have set your price too
high and need to come down a little bit,” said Vincent. “Airbnb does offer
‘price tips’ of their own, but we find that those are usually lower than are
worth it for us."
17. Be flexible!
Some Airbnbs require a multi-night stay, which can be a
deterrent for guests who are looking for a super-quick getaway. If you’re
flexible on length-of-stay, you’re likely to attract more interest.
“We do one-night minimums, which is certainly more work changing
over the rooms every day, but it guarantees a lot more bookings than a two- or
three-night minimum,” said Vincent.
“We also used to allow same-day bookings and got a lot of
business from that, as there are plenty of people passing through or they came
down for the day and decided they wanted to spend the night. But now that we no
longer live at that house, it makes it more difficult to manage the same-day
bookings.”
18. Use photos that
accurately represent your listing!
Having appealing photos is key when it comes to attracting
guests. But at the same time, it’s important that they portray the property
fairly.
“We try to take pictures of each room that are representative of
the reality of the space,” said Vincent.
“If you overdo it in the photos and make everything look huge
with a wide-angle lens and super nice and polished, guests might be
disappointed when they arrive and realize it's smaller or not as nice as they
thought. We just make the room look nice, take a photo, and what you see is
what you get. No unpleasant surprises.”
19. Start off on the
right foot!
Part of being a good host is letting guests know you want their
stay to be as convenient and comfortable as possible. A great way to start is
to make sure guests have good directions and easy-to-follow check-in
instructions.
“Whether they're traveling for work or vacation, guests want to
feel safe and welcomed into their Airbnb and don't want to feel confused or
lost in a new unfamiliar location,” said Vincent.
“Always communicate clearly and be as friendly and understanding
as possible. Starting off on the right foot is key for guests, and will lead to
a much better review. The more good reviews you have, the more bookings you'll
get.”
20. Go above and beyond!
While renting a room from Airbnb is decidedly different from
staying at a hotel, guests still appreciate having plenty of amenities at their
disposal. In their listing, the Brues let would-be guests know they’ll find
clean sheets, blankets, towels, toiletries, and more.
“I try to go above and beyond as well,” Vincent said. “We always
provide fresh fruit, eggs, bread, butter, coffee, milk, and sometimes other
treats for guests to snack on. In addition to plenty of popular magazines to
bring with them to the beach, we also provide beach towels, chairs, umbrellas,
and have board games, footballs, soccer balls, and basketballs.”
21. Offer information on
local highlights!
Even if guests have researched the area, they could probably
benefit from a local’s insight. With that in mind, the Brues provide
recommendations for nearby restaurants, bars, shops, and attractions.
“We leave a welcome packet in each room which covers everything
they need to know about the house and the house rules, but also lets them know
about the surrounding areas and places they might be interested in,” Vincent
said.
“We get guests of all ages from all over the country and the
world, so we try to be as descriptive as possible and offer different options
for whatever our guests might be interested in.”
22. Vet your guests!
Before welcoming strangers into your home, it pays to do a bit
of research. The Brues recommended reading other reviews potential guests have
left on Airbnb. If they don’t have any, ask them questions about themselves and
their plans for their trip. If for any reason you feel unsure about it, don’t
rent to them, Vincent advised.
“The money might be tempting, but it's not worth renting to
guests who might disturb other guests, which will lead to bad reviews, or
potentially do damage to your home, which will not only cost you money but
disrupt the whole operation,” he said.
Bottom line
For those interested in becoming Airbnb hosts, the Brues said it
boils down to charging a fair price, communicating clearly
with potential guests, and garnering great reviews that ultimately lead to more
bookings.
