Key insights

  • Just because a setting exists on a platform like Airbnb doesn't mean it's beneficial to use. Hosts should understand the 'why' behind a setting and its potential results before implementing it.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Listing a property as sleeping 12 guests but charging extra beyond 6 or 8 sends mixed messages and can deter larger groups, even if the intention is to incentivize smaller stays. This creates a perception of penalizing larger groups.
