As you know, we’re here to help. That’s why we’ve done some research to find you the best tips for boosting your accommodation booking requests.

The most important thing when you move in is to feel at home. Offering fully-equipped accommodation is an important concept for many holidaymakers.

The most important thing? A good wifi connection, especially these days with working from home. Next comes a workspace. A room of your own, or a place you’ve set up yourself for the occasion.

Another good point? A functional, helpful kitchen: oven, microwave, fridge, pots and pans, crockery. Specifying it in your rental will attract potential customers.

Another way to boost your bookings is to offer flexible booking.

With the new sanitary measures, a stand-alone entrance is a popular choice. The most in your favor? If you offer instant booking, your guests will book on a whim, and you won’t have to compete with other rental companies who might respond to their requests before you do. Play the instant card.

As far ascancellation is concerned, it’s up to you, but overly complex conditions or a non-guaranteed refund can be a deterrent to booking.
