Here are some of our top hosts’ key tips for increasing bookings on Boutique:

Create an Attractive Listing: Ensure your rates, calendars, and property information are accurate and up-to-date, and provide excellent photos following our photography guidelines.

Responsive and Polite Communication: Respond quickly, be concise, and maintain a polite tone. Aim to respond to booking requests within 24 hours. Be welcoming in your communication and avoid overwhelming guests with excessive policies and rules; they can find most information in your welcome packet.

Leverage Social Media: Set up an Instagram account for your property to generate interest. Social media makes cross-promotion easy and allows guests to tag their stay, generating more content and visibility for your property.

Provide Outstanding Service: Deliver personalized service that leaves a lasting impression. Make guests feel welcome and strive to exceed their expectations by providing a memorable experience from the moment they request your property to after their trip. This can increase the likelihood of repeat visits and word-of-mouth recommendations. Also, don't forget to ask for reviews!
