If you offer your accommodation for rent, it’s essential to focus your efforts on keeping your Airbnb customers happy. Indeed, a satisfied customer can represent a lot of value for you. In particular, they’ll be able to book a stay in your accommodation again. They can also benefit your reputation, whether by word-of-mouth to their direct circle or through a much wider community thanks to the Internet. More and more Internet users are leaving their comments after a stay. They can do so directly via the reservation platform, social networks or rating sites (Tripadvisor, Google…). So it’s in your best interest to satisfy your customers to the best of your ability. In this article, we’ll give you some tips on how to exceed your customers’ expectations and improve your reputation.

In search of the effect
"wow"
The key to customer satisfaction is to exceed your guests’ expectations. Look for the unexpected, the “wow” effect. This “wow” effect may be a small detail. But it will ensure that your guests remember you for a long time to come, and recommend you to others. You need to transform their stay into a real experience, with the aim of delighting the customer.
Our advice
To improve customer satisfaction, the first fundamental step is to reduce the number of dissatisfied customers, as these are the ones who have the greatest impact on your reputation.

Pay attention to the
customer satisfaction
If you want to improve your customers’ experience, it goes without saying that you need to be attentive to their satisfaction. So don’t hesitate to ask them questions when they leave to find out how their stay went. You can also send them a satisfaction questionnaire by e-mail later on. If a customer is unhappy, you should try to understand the cause of the problem and implement ways of resolving it. Don’t hesitate to offer compensation if necessary.

Pay attention to
"irritants
It’s important to pay close attention to all the elements that could affect the quality of your services. For example, the cleanliness of the room, the proper functioning of the electrical appliances. Don’t overlook details like a leaky shower, a cracked wall, malfunctioning heating or air conditioning… Leave nothing to chance!
Your customer service must be beyond reproach
Your customers need to be greeted in the right way: with efficiency and good humor. In the event of a problem, intervene quickly and propose alternative solutions.
