Management of short-term rentals on Airbnb

What is Airbnb?

Airbnb is the most widely used collaborative economy platform for booking holiday homes in the world, so it's important for any short-term rental to be listed on Airbnb to improve its visibility and presence, regardless of whether it appears on other online booking platforms such as Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Wimdu, Vrbo and Niumba. Bear in mind that the greater the visibility, the higher the possibility of getting bookings.

Managing a short-term rental on Airbnb is similar to other platforms, but with certain particularities, such as how the pricing of the holiday home is managed, communications with guests, and the algorithm used to position one property above another.

Knowing how Airbnb works and how other platforms work makes it much easier to optimise your listing, but this isn't the only factor. Other factors include:

• Good pictures of the holiday home. This is the biggest bugbear for potential guests.
• Up-to-date prices and fees. These change continuously based on the time of the year (high season, shoulder season, low season, concerts, important events, etc.).
• Great hosting, resulting in high ratings on Airbnb.
