Couples: a worthwhile target audience for your rental
Is your Airbnb ideal for couples? Here are our tips for attracting them with your listing and keeping them happy!
Do you let a studio or one-bedroom flat or house? Then couples are a clientele worth focusing on! But how can you best meet their expectations and needs? From writing your listing to welcoming your guests, here are our tips for putting every chance on your side!
Understandingtheir needsYou can't put every travelling couple in the same box! Some simply want to spend time together, reconnect in peace and quiet and rest, while others want to have fun, play sport and do activities. Some prefer to explore and see the city, while others are passionate about local food! Depending on where your property is located and its « atmosphere« , it will be better suited to a particular type of guest. Pay close attention to their needs and don't hesitate to share your tips and local recommendations so that their stay is a success! You can use your digital welcome book to do just that.

To bring couples to your door, you'll need to win them over right from the moment you create your rental listing. The features of your property, its amenities and the photos will all be essential. You can state in your listing that your property is ideal for couples, and highlight certain features (a king-size bed, a jacuzzi, romantic decor, etc.). Finally, do read our article “Our tips for a successful listing”, which will help you write it.
