With so many listings on Airbnb, it can be hard to stand out from the crowd. Indeed, when a traveler is looking for a rental, he’s not likely to spend hours on each page. What if the rental of their dreams is yours, but they’re missing out? To avoid this, here are our 6 tips!

1. Attracting attention

How do we do it? By taking quality photos that will make you want to move into your home. We’ve written a whole article on the subject. The most important thing is to have photos that present your home from its best angle, showing all the rooms and “highlights” of your rental.

2. Look after your main image

It’s the first thing travelers will see of your accommodation. So think about what you want to emphasize: the sea view? Nature? The gigantic living room?

3. Be responsive

The easiest way? Activate instant booking, especially at a time when vacations are all about the impulse effect. Respond quickly to comments and messages by activating Airbnb notifications. Always remember one thing: you’re competing with other renters, so if they respond faster than you, you’re out of luck.

4. Be competitive

We’re not asking you to slash your prices, but to adapt to the competition: a dream rental that’s too expensive can quickly be replaced by the second choice if the price difference is significant.

Keep abreast of market prices and those of your competitors, and also adapt to the seasons and slower periods.

5. Use social networks

To increase your visibility and bookings, create a page on social networks. We especially recommend Instagram and Facebook.

The aim here is to share photos and“moments of life” in your rental. You’ll be able to add the Airbnb link on this page and reach more potential customers.

6. The last piece of advice: don't overdo it

Finally, there’s no need to oversell your rental. Say as much as you can about the things you think are important, but leave a few surprises for your travelers. It’s better to be surprised than the other way around!
