What cancellation policy do you have for your mid term rentals. I find most people book 6-12 months in advance and I currently have a firm cancellation policy. It hasn’t been an issue for me so far, but open to suggestions.

This is a great video. How do you set the calendar to open just blocks of dates rather than allowing Airbnb to do the rolling calendar availability?
@kyleeandsteven
@kyleeandsteven Күн бұрын
It will be in your calendar availability settings under availability window. My view looks a little different now because we set ours through our PMS, but in the past on airbnb you would choose “dates unavailable by default” instead of “X months in advance”

I found the video after looking for places on airbnb and realized that cleaning fees were doubling possible stay costs. Getting a stay at a mountain lodge was cheaper overall even though the "sticker price" would have me belive the lodge would cost almost twice as much. Airbnb hosts are delusional

I’ve been hesitant about using smart pricing. It seems to increase the nightly price $50 higher per night, but that would be comparable to other local properties. I am concerned that when they review the property they will mark the value down from the five stars. Is the pricing software you use more accurate and is there a fee?

If your Value category is rated at a 5.0, you’ve underpriced your property.

1 firm pillow that's not too tall is my preference. But I'm mainly here to see if there's any benefit from switching from 2 bunk beds to 1 full and 1 bunk bed? Or just swapping out everything for a single king or queen. I've got 2 Airbnb tents and the one with the king sized bed gets all the bookings. So the bed seems to be the variable.

It depends on your market and clientele but we find that most adults aren't going to want to sleep on a bunk bed.

@@kyleeandsteven Strangely enough, right after I read your comment, we got a booking for that tent with the two bunk beds. I think the proximity to a fairly major college probably has something to do with it. But yes, it certainly does depend on the market!

I understand the message but theres so much to learn from cleaning your own place and as you transition to hiring cleaners it is crazy how much they try to cut corners. Cleaning/cleanliness is imo the most important item. Cleaners can destroy your business in no time. That’s when the inspection comes into play. So much to learn. On each step of the scaling process.

As a Palm Springs resident, my neighbors and I hate STRs. We know exactly which houses are STRs and we have to watch them like a hawk for over parking, blasting music, littering trash, and parties. We have to constantly call for violations. Hopefully, they get suspended at some point for creating such a disturbance.

I recommend reconsidering the use of “Starlink” by name when referring to satellite internet. The owner of Starlink has actively taken stances against the LGBTQ+ community, which may alienate viewers who value inclusivity and equality. Referring to “satellite internet providers” more generally, without mentioning specific brands, helps avoid endorsing a company whose leadership could be seen as misaligned with the values of some audiences. For instance, as we might say “hot tub” instead of “Jacuzzi,” using a general term is often more inclusive and mindful of diverse perspectives. Thank you for considering this approach.
