Managing a successful Airbnb vacation rental listing is stressful. Property listings have countless aspects that you need to optimize to run the most successful listing possible. Apart from Airbnb price optimization, it’s pretty hard to know where to start!

First and foremost, hosts need to develop an Airbnb pricing strategy. Using smart pricing gets you off to a great start and using a dynamic pricing tool does more than just maximizes profits. But this is not the only thing hosts can do to get the very best performance out of their short-term rental.

Team DPGO is made up of experienced Airbnb hosts and real-estate investors, so we know a thing or two about running a profitable short-term vacation rental. In this post, we wanted to share some of our experiences and decided to develop a list of the 6 most important factors that you’ll need to perfect to create and maintain a successful Airbnb property. And we promise, our list features more than just Airbnb price optimization!

1. Know the Pros and Cons of Your Listing

In the wise (and not so accurately quoted) words of George Orwell, “All Airbnb listings are equal, but some are more equal than others.” Well, George, we agree. In part, at least. The best Airbnb owners know their listings like the back of their hands. And this information can and must be used to their advantage.

If, for example, you know that the floorboards in your living room creak or the downstairs shower takes a long time to warm up, mention that in your booking confirmation email. Obviously, don’t give this information pride of place in your listing description. But by declaring these minor issues in your initial communication with your guests, it is less likely that they will use these issues to justify a lower rating. The first goal is to fix these issues, but if it’s not financially feasible to do so, just declare them before the guest checks-in. Communication is key.

One of the members of Team DPGO likes to spend a night in his Airbnb listings at least once per year. He maintains that this is the only way he can detect the smaller issues that may escape his cleaning staff’s notice – a dripping tap, a broken lightbulb, or something similar. It also gives him an opportunity to identify if anything is potentially irksome to guests – confusing light switches, baffling electronic manuals, or missing amenities.

Taking the time to stay in your property listing occasionally is a great way to discover the little issues that may have appeared. After all, if you want guests to stay there, you should want to stay there too, right?

2. Invest in Quality

People can recognize cheap appliances and poor-quality property finishings. You might not think that they’d notice, but they will. There are certain things in your Airbnb that you simply cannot afford to scrimp on. Even if you find the optimal price to attract bookings, these are the things that will stay in your guest’s memory.

Let’s start in the bedroom. Invest in high-quality mattresses and pillows, then look after them with protectors. One of the quickest ways to get a poor review is having an uncomfortable bed in your listing with horrible, scratchy sheets. Would you be happy to give a listing a 5-star review if you got no sleep while staying there? Unlikely. People have varying mattress tastes, so try to get something that’s not too hard and not too soft.

No pricing algorithm can fix cheap, broken appliances. You can pick up some really great coffee-makers from the likes of Amazon and Target for anything from $80 upwards. If you opt for a Keurig or a Nespresso, you can add these brand names to your listing description. This way, all of your potential guests will know that the option of a great cup of coffee awaits them if they choose to book with you. You can order pods for these machines from Amazon for as little as $0.30 each. Get yourself a milk steamer too and some stylish coffee mugs and you’ve got yourself a picture-perfect coffee station!

Cutlery and crockery matter too. Don’t buy plastic plates. There is almost never a need for plastic plates. People don’t pay Airbnb prices for plastic plates, especially since you can get ceramic, dishwasher safe, chip-resistant ones for around $5 each from Target and similar stores.

Plastic also has no place in furniture. Please resist the urge to use plastic outdoor furniture in your Airbnb. Of course, plastic chairs in the kitchen, like the stylish clear ones you see in interior decorating magazines are fine. Metal or wooden furniture is always sturdier. We understand that it may not go with the design direction of the property so try to use discretion.

3. Use Airbnb Price Optimization Tools like a Smart Pricing Tool

Using a dynamic pricing tool gives you the best chance at securing a booking while using the highest Airbnb daily rates possible. The vast majority of property managers use dynamic pricing, so it’s safe to say that it optimizes revenue.

Dynamic pricing is more than just price tips and optimizing nightly rates. It’s more of a holistic approach that sees an increase in occupancy rates too. You can use dynamic pricing over the holidays, special events, and peak tourism season to maximize earnings. Seasonality is less of a concern when you price dynamically too.

As a host, you’re in the business of Airbnb rentals and the name of the game is to increase your booking rates and earn more money. Airbnb price optimization is tricky, but using the pricing recommendations from DPGO is a great way to increase your profits. DPGO analyzes the fluctuations in your local rental market environment and updates your prices in real-time. No matter the day of the week, your prices will be kept competitive 24/7, 365.

If you perfect your rental pricing model, then the traction that your listing gets on Airbnb will increase too. Popular and updated listings are continuously found higher up in Airbnb search results. Whether you’re a Superhost or not, being close to the top of the page can make a difference to your Airbnb business.

4. Make Sure to Market Your Listing

Simply listing a property on Airbnb is not enough to spark success. Just like any recipe, you need all of the raw materials. Only once they come together can you create something wonderful. And, we hate to say it, but Airbnb price optimization alone may not even be enough. Don’t get us wrong, it will make a huge difference, but it can only attract based on price. Follow all of the DPGO prompts, and you’ll be well on your way to a successful rental property.

Back to marketing, remember that your listing page on Airbnb is basically an advertisement. Advertising companies make millions in designing the most attractive advert material that they can. It might help to examine the basic factors of any advert: images, text, and call to action.

Starting with images, you need to make sure that your listing has professional photography. Airbnb users judge a listing on their images and it just takes one picture to deter a potential guest. Use natural lighting, avoid pictures of toilets, style your space and find the angles that make your listing look the most enticing.

Next, the text on your listing matters. You want to complete the vision of your listing with the words in your description. This is where you can start to show which guests your listing is geared towards. A popular approach is to craft a story. Invite guests to relax in your living room in front of the fire while enjoying a delicious cup of coffee from your Keurig. See how those brand mentions come in handy?

Lastly, a call to action. Why not end your description with a question? Something like “Are you ready to escape the city and relax in utter serenity, surrounded by nature?”. Remember, you want to entice potential guests to choose your listing.

If you want more pointers, have a look at the separate post we did on writing the perfect listing description.

5. Prioritize Cleanliness & Style Your Listing

There are few guests, if any at all, who don’t care about cleanliness, especially now. In light of the pandemic, not even Airbnb price optimization could save some hosts from closing up shop. Now, there’s light at the end of the tunnel and cleanliness has never been more important.

We cannot stress this enough: make sure your listing is clean. It may not matter for the first bookings but once your reviews start coming in with low ratings for cleanliness, your booking rate will decrease. A poor cleanliness ranking is hard to shake so get ahead of the issue and ensure that your listing is sparkling clean. Your reviews will thank you in the long run, and so will your occupancy rates!

Moving on to styling your listing. In order to create a space that people will want to pay to stay in, you need to focus on styling. Decide on a design direction, and go from there. There are plenty of choices: nostalgic, modern, classic, refined, cosmopolitan, and more. Pick a style and try to keep it consistent throughout your listing. It can be as simple as a color scheme and as complex as a very obvious theme.

Also, it’s a nice added bonus to leave a welcome basket or some basic essentials for your guests. It shows them that you care and have thought about their comfort. You can also leave a note in your welcome packages requesting that they write you a review once they have checked out.

6. Communication is Key

Communicating with your guests is integral to your success as an Airbnb host. It allows you to understand their expectations, and explain the rules of your listing. The open dialogue will also help your guests feel comfortable enough to call you if there is an issue. The worst scenario is having a guest who does not want to alert you to any issues and just requests a refund straight away.

Before check-in, send them a welcome email with your guest guide, electronics manual, local area activity guide, and house rules attached. In COVID times, electronic copies are better than printed ones. Also, include any logistical info like Wi-Fi password or property access code. Be sure to include your contact number or a number to call in case of an emergency if you are not located nearby.

Once the guest checks out, and they are no doubt happy at the value for money that your Airbnb price optimization created, ask them for a review. If you are hesitant to do so, review them as a guest and this might prompt them to write a review for you as well.

Airbnb ranks active listings and hosts with better reply stats further up in their search results. Make sure you reply to every message in a timely fashion, even if your reply is simply to inform them that those dates are booked. Although you should be keeping an up-to-date calendar anyway, that’s a point for a different post.

DPGO: The Airbnb Price Optimization Tool for You

Optimizing an Airbnb listing takes serious work. Luckily for your users, we ensure their booking rates and revenue are in tip-top shape. DPGO is more than just an Airbnb pricing tool. We allow our users to input a range of data from automatic long-term discounts, seasonal fluctuations, last-minute reductions, and market-driven price hikes.

Dynamic pricing is not based on simply having lower prices. In fact, competitive pricing does not always mean lower. It simply means more attractive to potential guests. We analyze your listings amenities, features, location, booking rates, reviews, and more to compare them with that of your closest competitors. We then use that information to craft a pricing strategy, especially for your property, not forgetting to work within the pricing limits that our users set.

DPGO users can input base price, minimum stay requirements, minimum price, maximum price, discount percentages, discounts for weekdays or price increases for weekends, and seasonality changes. If you don’t believe us, try DPGO for yourself for free! We’ll give you a 30-day trial period to test out DPGO and see the increased booking rates for yourself.

Sign up for your free trial here. Remember, you don’t need to register a credit card when you create a profile, we have no usage limitations and no limit on the number of Airbnb listings that you can connect. You can also cancel your profile at any time with no cancellation fee.

If you’re looking to boost your Airbnb occupancy rate with a clear pricing strategy, then our dynamic pricing tool is perfect for you! DPGO is ideal for every Airbnb host, no matter the size of their listing property portfolio. Whether you’re managing one listing or one hundred listings, DPGO can help!

Our algorithm works with real-time market data to determine the best price for your listing. Our recommendations are specific to the given market environment at the time. Not only does this help vacation rental owners optimize their earnings, but it can also be used as an added tool for property managers and businesses.

In this post, we wanted to explore the suitability of the DPGO dynamic pricing tool for use by property management companies.

Multi-Listing Dynamic Pricing Tool

There is no limit to the number of listing you can manage under one DPGO profile. In fact, we have clients with over 3,000 listings! DPGO assists with automation, strategy, and reporting. Our dynamic pricing software takes the manual effort out of rental pricing.

Our pricing recommendations are based on a number of factors. These include the market environment, competitors, exchange rates, the pricing limits you set (like base price), and more. Our pricing solutions mean that property managers can set up a pricing framework and leave us to do the rest.

We are always available to help users with a large number of listings set up the pricing rules for each of their properties. And because this customization process can be laborious, we’re on hand to help! For users with a smaller number of listings, setting up your pricing limits takes minutes. Plus, you only ever need to do it once!

We offer four pricing strategies: Recommended, More Conservative, More Aggressive, and Custom. You can choose different strategies for each of your client’s listings, depending on their needs. Our Recommended strategy is unique to each listing and is created by analyzing expansive amounts of local market data. Our price recommendations give your listing the best chance of securing bookings. By making use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, we optimize your daily rates with competitive pricing!

DPGO Charting Capabilities

When you’re managing the prices of multiple short-term rental properties, success reporting is important. Your clients will want to see your progress, and our charting capabilities will help you illustrate your progress!

Our DPGO Performance Dashboard features a range of easy-to-read graphs and charts. These charts illustrate a range of data from the average length of stay to historical data and pricing. We offer high functionality for multiple users via the user-friendly DPGO interface.

Dynamic Pricing Tool Health Score

By using our smart pricing solutions, your channel managers can keep track of a listing’s process and improvement thanks to our health score capabilities. We generate a listing’s health score by analyzing how well your listing booking out in a set period. Then we use that data to create a score out of 10. The higher the score, the healthier the listing! DPGO also allows you to keep track of your previous health scores, which helps you keep track of progress.

Our DPGO interface also shows you the average Health Score in your listing’s local area. This is a great comparison tool and will help you understand how to further improve your property’s performance! It gives you a real-time figure to take to your clients and illustrate how well your company is doing in managing their property.

Better Airbnb Revenue Management

We already did a post on revenue management, but we didn’t really go into detail about how we can help property managers. Your clients want their listings to be a success. And while you manage the listing, we help you find the optimal prices to get as much for your clients as possible.

Our complex data metrics allows you to pinpoint why a listing is not succeeding in the way it should. Then our expert advice can help you fix it! Price optimization is a very specialized subject and only those with access to market data can truly optimize your prices.

In the rental industry, it’s all about finding the right price. With DPGO, finding that price, securing that booking, and impressing that client has never been easier.

Short-Term Rental Seasonality

When you’re managing multiple listings across multiple cities, the high season could be different for each one. But how are you supposed to manage seasonal price changes? Good thing you’re a DPGO user! We designed a special seasonality function that allows you to change your pricing based on the month. And you can set this up months in advance. DPGO users will be given four options for seasonality adjustment strategies: Conservative, Aggressive, Custom, and Recommended.

By pricing more aggressively in your busier periods, you can secure more revenue. Similarly in historically quieter periods, offering more flexible rates will boost occupancy rates. This will increase a listing’s annual profitability and make your clients very happy!

Once again, if you need help setting up seasonality adjustment settings, let us know and someone from our Support Team will be in touch to offer assistance.

Last-Minute Discounts

Ideally, your listings are booked for the optimal price with the ideal length of stay, well in advance. But what should you do if you still have gaps in your calendars and the dates are fast approaching?

In order to sell as many dates in your calendar as possible, we created the automatic last-minute discount function. If you get within a set number of days before an unbooked date, you can set DPGO to offer a preset percentage discount in order to encourage a booking.

We will never advertise rates lower than your base price, so offering a discount simply secures a booking and scores you extra revenue when you might have missed out completely. As long as your Base Price is set correctly, offering a discount simply increases the likelihood of a booking. Yes, you are bringing in less money than you would at non-discounted prices, but any booking above your Base Price is better than no booking!

DPGO Integration Opportunities

If you’d like to explore the option of a DPGO integration with your property management systems, then you can contact us directly at info@dpgo.com.

While you’re here, why not take a look at a few of our other blog posts? Do you know which cancellation policy is right for you? Well, find out here! We also dived into the data on how to best price your listings during high season!

Airbnb’s booking cancellation policies were big points of contention last year. As hosts reeled from the effects of the pandemic, guests had to cancel their existing Airbnb bookings. 

As the pandemic dragged on, hosts started becoming suspicious of the excuses that they were hearing again and again. These “buzzwords”, as some started to call them, started to pop up in every cancellation request hosts received. And after nine months of pandemic-control methods, hosts became skeptical of COVID-based excuses.

Government-mandated restrictions also constrained guest movement. These constraints include travel bans and flight suspensions. If a member of their traveling party contracted COVID, the guest is not legally allowed to travel. 

In this post, we wanted to go through the various cancellation policies offered by Airbnb. We also explain their intricate details, as well as the pros and cons of each. Let’s start with the least-strict cancellation policy. 

What Are the Airbnb Booking Cancellation Policies?

Flexible

Starting with the least-strict of all the Airbnb cancellation policies, Flexible allows the greatest guest freedom. The guest is entitled to a full refund until 24 hours before the scheduled check-in. If the guest needs to cancel less than 24 hours before check-in, the first night and the Airbnb service fee are non-refundable.

Moderate

With the Moderate booking cancellation policy, guests qualify for a full refund if they cancel 5 days before their scheduled check-in. If guests cancel within 5 days before check-in, the first night, as well as the service fee and 50% of all nights after that, are non-refundable. If the guest checks-in and decides to leave early, the next 24 hours are charged in full, and the following nights included in the booking will be charged at 50%.

Strict

The Strict policy means that guests can cancel up to 48 hours after making the booking, provided that the date of check-in is not within 14 days. To qualify for a 50% discount, guests need to cancel 7 full days before the local check-in time. If the guest cancels within 7 days of check-in, no refund will be granted.

Long Term

Long term bookings offer hosts the opportunity to gain a solid income for a set period without handling multiple guests. Airbnb automatically applied this policy to bookings of 28-days or more. These bookings are fully refundable for 48 hours after booking confirmation, provided that the cancellation occurs at least 28 days before check-in. If the guest cancels within 28 days of check-in, the first month of the booking and the booking fee are both non-refundable. 

Guests can cancel long-term stays and choose a new check-out date after they have check-in, but the guest is required to pay the host for the next 30 days. If the rest of the original booking is fewer than 30 days, the guest must pay their remaining stay in full.

Super Strict 30 Days

For a 50% refund, guests must cancel a minimum of 30 full days before check-in. If a guest cancels at any point within 30 days before check-in, the booked nights will not be refunded. If the guest checks-in and leaves early, none of the nights stayed, nor the nights booked will be refunded by Airbnb.

Super Strict 60 Days

For a 50% refund, guests must cancel no less than 60 days prior to check-in. When a guest cancels within 60 days of the scheduled local check-in time, the booked nights will not be refunded. If the guest goes through with check-in and leaves early, the nights not stayed will not be refunded.

What Are the Benefits of Lenient vs Stricter Policies?

With any discussion, there are two sides to the story. For guests, more lenient policies are better. For hosts, stricter policies are better. 

At the start of the pandemic, hosts with a Flexible or Moderate booking cancellation policy often benefited from higher booking rates. This was due to the uncertainty around COVID and regional travel restrictions. Airbnb users were hesitant to book listings with Strict booking cancellation policies. They did not want to lose out on money. 

Now, almost a year after the global outbreak, hosts are starting to tighten up their cancellation policies. They want to protect themselves against disingenuous pandemic-based excuses.  

The benefits, or rather benefit, of a more lenient cancellation policy, is that it attracts more bookings. People are intimidated by the idea of potentially losing money, even if they are sure that their dates are firm and set. Having a more flexible cancellation policy gives your guests greater freedom, but the consequences are harsher on the host.

As a host, the main consequence of Flexible booking cancellation policies is that you could miss out on revenue. If your dates are booked and you’re forced to give a full refund at the last minute, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll find another booking within 24 hours. 

Please keep in mind that Airbnb will not enforce your booking cancellation policy if there are extenuating circumstances and the guest can prove it.

Examples of ‘Extenuating Circumstances’

As we just mentioned, Airbnb will not enforce your cancellation policy if there are extenuating circumstances. They may ask the guest for proof, like a death certificate or proof of a travel restriction, and if the guest can provide this, then the full amount will be refunded, minus the service fee. 

Extenuating circumstances include:

• Death or serious illness of a member of the traveling party or their immediate family
• Serious injury that prohibits the guest from traveling
• Natural disasters or serious weather incidents in the location of your listing or in the guest’s place of departure
• Government-decreed obligations issued after the date of booking
• Urgent travel restrictions and security advisories
• Endemic or pandemic disease outbreak

The fact that Airbnb can step in and award refunds where the guest has proven their circumstances, some hosts feel motivated to opt for the Strict booking cancellation policy.

Remember the Airbnb Guest Refund Policy

As of December 2019, Airbnb instated the Guest Refund Policy. Airbnb defines this policy as being “available to Guests who book and pay for an Accommodation through the Airbnb Platform and suffer a Travel Issue.” 

This policy protects the guest if the host cancels at the last minute or misrepresents their listing in some way. According to the Airbnb Help Center, a guest is covered under the Guest Refund Policy if any of the below apply:

• The guest could not gain access to the listing. 
• The space is not clean or safe upon the guest’s arrival.
• “Key amenities” are either not working or missing altogether. This covers things like undeclared construction work prohibiting you from using an amenity or facility. 
• The listing is not as it was described in the listing description. For example, the number of bedrooms quoted is wrong, or the listing is not wheelchair accessible.

What Do We Recommend?

If we leave you with one thought, remember that your cancellation policy is completely your choice. Just bear in mind that choosing a Strict cancellation policy could scare away bookings and choosing a Flexible policy could cost you money. Our advice? Use the Moderate booking cancellation policy and sign up with DPGO to make sure you sell those last-minute cancellation days!

Similar to cancellation policies, pet policies can be a polarizing topic. Travel trends in 2021 are seeing tourists choosing to stay within their national borders. Which has left many wondering how their pet policies will affect their booking rates. 

Pets are part of the family. But the question must be asked: is accepting pets at your Airbnb property worth it in the long run?

Is Airbnb’s Pet-Friendly?

Surprisingly, few know the ins and outs of the legal side of this scenario. Of course, you do not have to accept pets, but what about emotional-support animals or service animals? What legal right do Airbnb hosts have to deny a booking made by someone with a service animal? 

Airbnb’s Nondiscrimination policy dictates that “hosts are expected to reasonably accommodate reservations where an assistance animal may be present, even if their listing/house rules state “no pets”.”

But how do they define an “assistance animal”? Well, Airbnb includes both service animals and emotional support animals as ‘Assistance animals’. There has been some confusion in the pst, but Airbnb clarified their position: “Airbnb defines assistance animals to include Emotional Support Animals. These are animals that are used as part of medical treatment and/or therapy to assist with an individual’s daily functional tasks but are not limited to a specific type of animal and are not required to be trained to assist an individual in a particular task. These animals are sometimes referred to as comfort animals or therapy animals.” 

There are exceptions of course. Hosts are allowed to request that “assistance animals” be removed from the property. But only if “the animal is out of control and the animal’s handler doesn’t take effective action to control it. Or if the animal is not housebroken. In either scenario, the host must still allow the guest to use the premises without the animal. Note that given their role in providing service or emotional support, assistance animals should not be left alone at a listing.” 

Another interesting aspect that many may not have considered is the pricing aspect. Can you charge extra for an ‘assistance animal’? Simply put, no, you can’t. It would be considered discrimination to charge extra for a service/emotional support animal.

How Do I Charge for Pets, if I Decide to Host Them?

As an Airbnb user, it’s easy to filter for pet-friendly listings, but double-checking is always a good idea. Check the listing description and rules to make sure that the property is pet-friendly. If you’re still not sure, ask the host directly if they allow pets. Then qualify which type of animals they allow. 

As an Airbnb host, it’s important to know how to charge a pet fee, if you decide to host pets. You can add a security deposit or a cleaning fee to offset any costs that hosting a pet may incur. 

Head to the Airbnb Help Centre for a guide on how to set a security deposit, and a cleaning fee. 

Are Pets as Messy as They Seem?

Hosting pets means that you will likely need to give your property a much deeper clean than normal. Furniture will need steam cleaning, rugs may need additional attention over and above the normal vacuuming. 

Most Airbnb hosts choose not to allow pets, and of the small amount that allows pets, most opt only to allow smaller dogs. So, where does this leave big dog owners?

Bigger animals come with bigger potential messes. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you shouldn’t make your listing pet-friendly. Listings that allow pets are in short supply, and with local holidays becoming the trend in 2021, opting to allow pets may mean the difference between a full calendar and an empty one. 

Charging a security deposit and a slightly higher cleaning fee will protect you from any potential losses, and generally speaking, most people with pets understand that pet-friendly listings are in short supply and won’t want to abuse one of the few listings that allow your four-legged friends. 

What Could I Gain by Allowing Pets?

Running a pet-friendly listing, like anything in life, has both rewards and drawbacks. 

By examining the predicted travel trends for 2021, it’s easy to see that domestic travel is going to take off this year. With international borders still opening and closing with regularity, travelers are seeking to explore the attractions of their home country. Also, with the sharp rise of the ‘work from home’ employee, most Airbnb stays are increasing in duration, as guests want to escape their normal surroundings for a few weeks. 

In light of this, many have decided to take their pets along for the trip, and are thus looking for pet-friendly listings. But what are the pros and cons of being pet-friendly?

The pros are an increased listing versatility, a greater chance of return guests, and the financial gains of taking advantage of a niche market.

The cons are potential damage to property and furnishings, higher cleaning costs (but you can charge a higher cleaning fee so this con can be negated), lack of appeal to allergy sufferers, and higher property maintenance costs. 

Ultimately, you have as much right to make your listing non-pet-friendly and you do to allow pets. As we stated above, assistance animals are a different story, but you have the right to refuse to host guests with pets if you so choose. It might be helpful to determine whether your competitors allow pets and whether being pet-friendly will help you take advantage of an uncatered corner of your local Airbnb market.
