Quick tips for more direct bookings
Reply within the hour
Most enquiries go to the first owner who replies. A quick, friendly answer wins bookings you'd otherwise never know you lost.
Sync every calendar
Double-bookings are the fastest way to a bad review. Keep every channel — and your own calendar — in sync automatically.
Refresh your hero photo
The photo guests see first decides whether they click. Update it at least yearly and after any redecoration.
Sweat the small touches
Milk in the fridge and a biscuit tin cost pennies — and turn up in reviews again and again.
Ask for the review
Leave a card or QR code on check-out day asking for a review. Happy guests are glad to help — if you remind them in time.
Market the area, not just the property
Guests book places, not just properties. Share beaches, walks, pubs and attractions nearby — it's your biggest advantage over the big platforms.
