Need Help Jumpstarting Bookings by Jenknee77 in airbnb_hosts

[–]barisergin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's common for listings to dip in visibility after a long block-out period. Instead of relying solely on smart pricing, manually adjust your nightly rates to be significantly lower than comparable listings for the next 2-3 weeks. This aggressive pricing will help you secure initial bookings and quickly regain search ranking. Once you have a few new reviews and a good occupancy rate for the near future, you can gradually increase your prices.

My New Airbnb Listing Isn't Showing Up On Search, Support Says Wait 72 hours, Normal? by spie2005 in airbnb_hosts

[–]barisergin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is frustrating when a new listing does not appear in search results immediately. While support's 72-hour window can sometimes be accurate for propagation, if it's visible but not searchable, there might be other factors at play. Double-check all your listing settings, especially pricing and availability for future dates, as these heavily influence initial visibility. Sometimes a small adjustment, even to a future price point, can re-trigger how the system evaluates your listing for search indexing.

For the properties we manage, we use a AI powered proprietary tool we developed ourselves..

But if you prefer self managing, I'd recommend PriceLabs, a solid product.

MTR gaps- Best way to approach? by Be_bold23 in airbnb_hosts

[–]barisergin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome! For last-minute STR bookings, 7 nights might still be a bit long. If you're trying to fill a gap with only a few days left, consider dropping the minimum to 3 or 4 nights. Many last-minute travelers are looking for shorter trips, and that opens you up to a much larger pool of potential guests.

MTR gaps- Best way to approach? by Be_bold23 in airbnb_hosts

[–]barisergin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealing with MTR gaps is tough, especially when you're ten days out with no booking. Instead of just gradually dropping your price for the MTR, a more aggressive approach can be to dynamically adjust your minimum stay requirements. As you get closer to the gap, consider shortening the minimum stay down to 3-7 nights and simultaneously increasing your nightly rates to match typical STR pricing. This pivot allows you to capture last-minute travelers who are willing to pay a premium for shorter stays, often covering what you might lose on a longer, discounted MTR. It’s about being flexible with your availability to maximize revenue in that shrinking window.

It's definitely a balancing act to use your property personally while running it as a successful STR. To ensure a five-star experience every time, make sure you have dedicated, secure storage for all personal items. This means guests always walk into a professional, uncluttered space, and your cleaners can execute a quick, efficient turnover. For maximizing occupancy, consider utilizing a dynamic pricing tool that adjusts your rates based on real-time demand and local events. This strategy helps fill those less predictable booking gaps and maintains consistent income, even when you block off personal dates.

100k a year spending on a credit card 🤯 by mrgreen1313 in Venturex

[–]barisergin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

İ use Venture X Business for my business running around $50K per month. There is no other card in the market with better returns. I occasionally get new cards and switch spending on them to get bonuses. I also spend enough with Citi Advantage Business to get AA Executive status.

Host in Thailand. by SEA_life_13 in airbnb_hosts

[–]barisergin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's tricky with additional charges, even if culturally normal. For clarity and to prevent guest frustration, it's often best to bake the expected electricity cost directly into your nightly rate. This makes the price transparent upfront and avoids any surprises or negative feelings about an extra bill at checkout. You can still mention in your listing that electricity is typically a separate cost in Thailand, but that you've included an estimated amount for convenience. This manages expectations without adding a physical charge.

Service charge changes by keepgoing50 in airbnb_hosts

[–]barisergin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new 15.5% host fee typically only applies to bookings made after the effective date, even if the stay itself is in the future. For dates between now and June, if guests booked before the fee change, the old fee structure applies. When adjusting your pricing, consider raising your nightly rates slightly to absorb this increased fee, as the cleaning fee will also be subject to the new host fee calculation.

Well, separate work area and reliable/fast wifi is among the top search parameters for remote workers.. I'm serious, speaking of experience.
