Responding Quickly And Why It Matters

Airbnb recommends contacting multiple hosts when making a booking. You will likely not be the only host contacted about this potential guest’s booking, so being the first to respond gives you an edge with all other things being equal.

To ensure you receive reservation requests in real-time, the best way is to download the Airbnb app for your phone.

You can also receive push notifications via SMS to your phone. You’ll get an alert every time someone books your place through the app.

To enable push notifications and texts:

1) log in to Airbnb.

2) Click your account photo in the upper right-hand corner.

3) Select Account Settings from the menu bar on the left-hand side of your screen, then click Notifications under “Account Info” in this drop-down

The competition is only getting tougher. To stay ahead of the game, explore guest communication services that can help you respond instantly to booking requests

Your Airbnb listing’s ranking is impacted by how responsive you are to reservation requests. Your listing will state your average response time, so be sure it states the response within an hour. The quicker your response, the higher up in the search results your listing appears. This will also increase your response rate, allowing you to better qualify for Superhost.

A true local to South Florida, I was born and raised right here in Broward County. As an avid traveler, I have always loved staying in AirBNBs because it allowed me to have a more authentic experience of the city I was exploring. When presented with the opportunity to become a host in my hometown I was thrilled to bring that same experience to people visiting South Florida.
