Short-Term Rentals: 5 Common Mistakes Owners Make – and How to Avoid Them - Far & Beyond

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.
