Boost your rental bookings: a few tips

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 arrive in a property is to feel at home. Offering fully-equipped accommodation is an important notion for many holidaymakers. The most important thing? A good wifi connection, especially these days with work-at-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. Including it in your rental will attract potential customers.

A good way to boost your bookings is also to offer flexible booking. With the new sanitary measures, independent entry is a popular option. What’s in your favor? By offering instant booking, your guests will book on a whim, and you won’t be competing with other rental companies who might be able to 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.

Did you know? Searches for ” pets accepted ” increased by 65% in January 2021 (compared to the same period the year before). So by highlighting that you accept that you accept pets in your accommodation, you’ ll gain visibility and bookings. If you’re a little reluctant to accept pets, you can already limit the list: dogs and cats account for around 80% of pets. That’s more than enough. If it’s the fur you’re worried about, you can ask for an extra cleaning fee and specify which part of the house you don’t want pets in.

With these few tips, you should see your booking requests soar. Don’t hesitate to give us your feedback or your tried-and-tested tips!
