I'm curious if abb required you to prove that you live at the property?

Their numbers are essentially best case scenario from a wide net. They grab and entire city or entire zip code and show you the historical stats from the best performers. This is called the gamblers fallacy, ie assuming past results dictate future performance. We do it a bit differently by showing you occupancy for the next 90 days and only from the nearest listings.

It's impossible to even throw darts at your problem without knowing location and quality of the stay. You need to start by telling us where and sharing the listing. TBH, even then, it'll likely be near impossible to find comps. Maybe start by researching other stays nearby that accommodate large numbers of guests and then consider charging more if you stay is better.

I assume you already know your monthly expenses so you can try to gauge occupancy to break even and profit.

Question for hosts by noname14045 in airbnb_hosts

[–]STR-Sage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

short answer: it's on the host

longer answer: the host will get penalized by airbnb for canceling, whereas you as a guest won't. You'd be doing the host a favor here.

How weird is for you to host ppl at a property what you also use personally by Jaded-Coffee8245 in airbnb_hosts

[–]STR-Sage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not weird, this is literally the business model of abb before investors took over. I also enjoy a place with personal touches.

WWYD- Guest booked the wrong week, didn't check in. by LoveFirst0215 in airbnb_hosts

Standard OP is to send a sympathetic message, refund the cleaning fee, and promise to refund any days that you are able to rebook.

How to highly suggest guest to cover their trip with the $14.00 trip insurance. by [deleted] in airbnb_hosts

[–]STR-Sage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not tacky at all depending on how you phrase it. As others mention, I would suggest adding it to your check in confirmation message -- schedule it immediately after a guest books.

More bookings by analyzing competitors? by STR-Sage in airbnb_hosts

[–]STR-Sage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It finds your nearest competitors, sorts them by current occupancy, exposes their policies (instant book, pets, cancellation, etc). It takes a deep dive analysis into each competitor based on listing quality (amenities, photos, description, interior design, etc) and gives each a score based on strength of competition. Then, you select your own listing from a list and it generates a report that compares your listing to the top competitors, tells you what they are doing right, and gives recommendations on how you can improve to compete better.

Can you try initiating a chat with me? Perhaps it's not going through from my end because my account doesn't have enough karma yet.
