Managing a property may seem simple, but it requires strategy and consistency. Many owners make mistakes that cost them bookings, reviews, and revenue. Below, we break down the most common ones and how you can avoid them.
1. Insufficient Photos
Blurry photos or dimly lit spaces reduce bookings. Professional photography is an investment that pays off immediately.
2. Poor or Inconsistent Pricing
Owners often set a fixed price year-round. This leads to either missed bookings or missed revenue.
3. Lack of Clear Communication
Travelers need quick answers before booking. Slow communication decreases credibility.
4. Unprofessional Cleaning
One of the most common guest complaints. A reliable cleaning team and strict cleaning standards are essential.
5. Non-Competitive Listing
Your title, description, and amenities must stand out. The listing should highlight the property’s identity and strengths.
