How to Market your Airbnb for the Off Season Bookings
How do you get more Airbnb guest bookings in the fall and winter? What is bringing Airbnb guests to your town, resort, area in the slower seasons? Is your area more tourism based or business travellers? What activities and events are people coming to enjoy and how long do they stay in the area? Do you need to market to short term or longer term guests for the slower seasons?
How to Prepare your Airbnb for the Off Season, Maintenance Tips and Marketing Info
Here is our maintenance guide to consider for the slow season in your Airbnb. When you finally have some vacant days in your Airbnb calendar, its the perfect time to do bigger maintenance items and touch ups to refresh your rental space. With booked out peak seasons, things can get worn and tired quickly and you need to review the full rental to make sure there aren’t damaged items, cleanliness concerns and other things that require more attention to clean up and refresh.
Maintenance Tips to keep your Airbnb Vacation Rental fresh and Top Quality for your Guests
There are a few simple things that should be on your regular checklist for maintenance in your Airbnb. May won’t really impact your guests most of the time but it’s better to get ahead of things before they cause other issues. Preparing your Airbnb for the off season with maintenance will help keep your property fresh and the guest experience great. Your Airbnb guests are rating your rental on Value and Amenities. Your VRBO guests are rating you on overall quality for your stay. Your Evolve guests are expecting a highly professional level of management and care given that your rental goes through a 3rd party manager. Despite each platform using different wording for their rating system, it all relates to the same things for cleanliness and having a great vacation rental.

Comfort IS key.
If your guests aren’t comfortable during their stay, it doesn’t matter how beautiful or unique your stay is, the reviews are not going to be at their best.
The Bedding is the #1 key to guest comfort right after temperature control
I am a big eco-nerd, but in a practical way, i can’t afford a Tesla - yet ;)
If I can find THE BEST pillows, sheets and duvets for my own use and they are organic and non toxic, well that’s pretty awesome. I recently connected with an organic bedding company to try out some of their products sponsored and can’t wait to see how I sleep.
Check out Sleep & Beyond and let me know if you have tried their hot item - the merino wool pillows, or their luxury organic cotton sheets. I want to know what you think!
Email me info@vacationrentalhosting101.com or DM me on Instagram with your thumbs up or thumbs down for their products you have tried and I will post on our instagram stories Vacation Rental Hosting 101 on Instagram
