Are guests looking for something specific?
Yes, guests typically have preset criteria when choosing a space. As a host, you want to create an easy way to locate all details to attract your viewer and prequalify each guest. This is also a great opportunity for you, the host, to qualify your bookings.
What are guests looking for in a space?
The breakdown of a guest checklist typically falls under five subheaders.
- Availability
- Pricing
- Space Features
- Additional Services (By Host or Preferred Network)
- Catering / Food & Drinks (Further details on how this works in your space)
The below resources highlight each subheader and the specific details guests require.

What else can I do to make my space stand out?
Invest your time in the photo section!
In addition to adding subheaders to your listing, make sure that your photography section is top notch! Guests don't know your space like you do, nor do they understand your expertise in what you've done and what you are willing to do.
Add floor plans, menus, food/drink photography, the space empty and in action!
