Useful numbers: in case of a problem
We do not wish it to you, but there can always be a problem during a rental. A water leak, a power cut, a health problem… If you don’t know the right numbers to call, things can quickly get out of hand. Of course, there is always the internet to help us but it will be much faster with our module. You’ll have put in numbers you can trust and that’s invaluable.
1. The useful numbers module
With this module, you can list all important numbers: plumber, garage, hospital, doctor… To make life easier for your guests and to ensure their safety.
They will always have these numbers at hand and will be able to deal with all possible situations.
2. Why you need it ?
Attaching the numbers on the fridge is good, but having them with you, all the time, is more secure. Indeed, the sheet can slip, get damaged, get lost and above all, you don’t always take it with you.
So imagine the scene, your guests are walking around and one of them gets seriously injured, who to call but you? Give them all the means possible to go to the hospital quickly. Another example, your guests don’t speak your language, give them the possibility to call people who know their own language and can help them. Kim, had shared with us her really bad experience in this conditions.
With our welcome booklet, your guests will have all the numbers with them at all times. One less worry for you and one more security for them.
Around you: the module for a curious traveler
Your accommodation is ok, the guests came in without any problem. The wifi? It’s good too. Now what do we do? Your guests are rested and ready for a new adventure. But what can you do when you’re so far from home? With the “around you” module of our welcome booklet, you can help your guests discover your region.
1. The module around you
For this module, we started, once again, from our own experiences. It’s true, when you go to an unknown region, you want to discover it. And what better way than with the advice of a local? You probably know a great restaurant but it’s not on Tripadvisor. Or the best viewpoint and how to get there? All this information will be a gold mine for your guests and a great bonus for you and your accommodation.

Photos of your home: the basics
Taking nice pictures of your home is essential to get more views and bookings. We know that it’s not always easy to highlight certain rooms but we are here to help you. We will give you all our advices to realize photos that will bring you more visibility!
1. How to take your pictures ?
The basis of a nice picture is the light and the camera. So, try as much as possible to take your pictures with a camera. If you don’t have one, the smartphone option is also possible, provided that the quality is adequate.
For the format, prefer a landscape format, which gives a feeling of space and allows to show more things.
Finally, take pictures of your home during the day if it is bright and add some pictures in the evening if it is interesting (view on a lake, starry sky…). Put forward as much as possible what you prefer in your home.
2. What to take a picture of?
Everything! Well, almost. The first thing is to show all the rooms in your home. The client should have a global vision of what they are going to book.
Then, if you have a favorite place or a few details that are important to you, go ahead! But be careful, 3 pictures of an accommodation for 5 pictures of beach, forest or activities around are useless. Here is a good example.
Be careful not to appear on the pictures (beware of the mirror, the reflections…).
Note also that it is interesting to take pictures of your home in all seasons. Especially if the environment changes a lot.
3. How to touch them up?
If your photos look a little dull or you left the mop lying around during your photo shoot, don’t panic! Here are some free applications that will help you a lot:
Snapseed
Enlight
VSCO
Touching up your photos will take a little time but remember, beautiful photos will attract more people and therefore more bookings!
4. How to make your home more attractive?
What are we looking for? Life! We’re looking to project ourselves. To imagine yourself on your sofa or sleeping on your bed that looks so comfortable. Don’t hesitate to add a few touches of color and life: books, bouquets, fruit basket… All these details will help the traveler to imagine himself at home. However, be careful not to add too many things, especially if you don’t leave them in the accommodation. Your host might feel cheated.
That’s it, you are now a photo pro for your home! Congratulations! Don’t hesitate to share with us what helped you the most!
