Summary

AI-generated

Hosts can increase bookings by adjusting their minimum night stay requirements, especially in summer markets. Lowering the minimum from two nights to one can immediately trigger bookings and improve algorithm visibility. Other strategies include updating listing photos, titles, descriptions, and cancellation policies.

Key insights

  • Lowering the minimum night stay from two nights to one night for a property in Gulf Shores, Alabama, resulted in two bookings overnight after 11 days without any bookings.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Sticking to a higher minimum night stay (e.g., three or two nights) when not getting bookings can lead to prolonged vacancy, especially in seasonal markets.
