You hosted a great stay. The guest seemed happy. And then… nothing. No review.Here’s the truth: most guests won’t review unless you make it easy — and intentional.Let’s fix that.<h3>✅ Step 1: Set the 5-Star Standard Early</h3>Right after check-in, send this message:“Hey [Name], I hope your arrival felt 5-star so far! I’m here for anything you need.”This plants the seed for a future review — and opens the door for fast fixes. <figure id="figure-hc7zzsh9jcsmbp9eyaw"><img id="hc7zzsh9jcsmbp9eyaw" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/20OiZjdQIQNN0Wk3KzPI6KI3XCp7JNh8dCCPngOPSE1cYBUZpktPPdn9D8Xv7xbD.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/20OiZjdQIQNN0Wk3KzPI6KI3XCp7JNh8dCCPngOPSE1cYBUZpktPPdn9D8Xv7xbD.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>✅ Step 2: Personalize the Exit</h3>The night before checkout, send this:“We loved hosting you, [Name]! If there’s anything we can improve, please let me know. And if you enjoyed your stay, your review would mean the world.”This shows you care — and guests want to support humans, not robots.<figure id="figure-aldvr7uztimbp9imjm"><img id="aldvr7uztimbp9imjm" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1a15RrHXKQuDpQhXlmfydRSNEsXQPJrvHhb8GbLRTDnTwK0J2McxC1ZZKUDmyjrG.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1a15RrHXKQuDpQhXlmfydRSNEsXQPJrvHhb8GbLRTDnTwK0J2McxC1ZZKUDmyjrG.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>✅ Step 3: Respond to Every Review You Get</h3>This shows future guests you’re present, engaged, and proud of your hosting.Pro Tip: You can even use QR codes inside the unit that say: “Enjoying your stay? Leave us a review — it helps a lot!” <figure id="figure-josesgozcapmbp9jnt9"><img id="josesgozcapmbp9jnt9" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/28Cw9n0tDcD9GcIDvm0q4MRgd6y6wWXAg3OUuHTZyofS7hdc9X5qtPHswmFgdmax.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure><h3>🎯 Want to systemize this?</h3>We’ve helped hosts go from 20% to over 90% review rate.<a data-mce-href="https://calendly.com/empresarioandresromero/propertyoptimization45min" href="https://calendly.com/empresarioandresromero/propertyoptimization45min">👉 Click here to book a free audit of your guest flow</a>

How to Get More Airbnb Reviews From Guests in 3 Easy Steps

You just got another question from a guest: “How do I check in again?” “Where do I park?” “Do you have WiFi?”Answering the same messages over and over eats into your time — and hurts the guest experience if you miss one.That’s why smart hosts are using digital guidebooks to centralize all the information guests need before and during their stay.Here’s exactly what your guidebook should include to improve reviews, reduce messages, and impress guests from the moment they book.<figure id="figure-v8ao445amb2bca90"><img id="v8ao445amb2bca90" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2cauhtiRZttHRXZjxQLMZnJWHYBeJmvOi1nJFrkxiPlaNDX9EWFHHNPL1igmgS4x.png" alt="A digital tablet displays a “Welcome Guide” with organized icons for check-in, parking, Wi-Fi, trash, and recommendations, representing a centralized digital guidebook for Airbnb guests" title="A digital tablet displays a “Welcome Guide” with organized icons for check-in, parking, Wi-Fi, trash, and recommendations, representing a centralized digital guidebook for Airbnb guests" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2cauhtiRZttHRXZjxQLMZnJWHYBeJmvOi1nJFrkxiPlaNDX9EWFHHNPL1igmgS4x.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>✅ What to Include in Your Airbnb Digital Guidebook</h3>🧭 1.

The Airbnb Host’s Guide to Building a 5-Star Digital Welcome Book

If you rely 100% on Airbnb, you’re always at the mercy of the algorithm. Higher fees. More competition. Less control.But what if you could build a list of guests who book directly, come back again, and recommend you to their friends?That’s not just wishful thinking — it’s a strategy.<h3>✅ Step 1: Add Subtle Branding to Your Experience</h3>In your welcome kit, include:<ul><li>A printed guidebook with a QR code to your WhatsApp or Instagram</li><li>A card that says: “Book with us directly next time &amp; save 15%”</li><li>You don’t need to break Airbnb rules — just plant the seed.</li></ul><figure id="figure-5krutk47tmb2agu6j"><img id="5krutk47tmb2agu6j" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/519PPVuWcuyBW1TQzJ62LBm3S15QulixMZDe1uAESQKeth10czMGN9W0NYbkEodj.png" alt="A welcome display on a wooden table featuring a framed “Welcome To Our Airbnb” sign, a small potted succulent, a coffee mug, and a branded business card, illustrating subtle guest-facing branding." title="A welcome display on a wooden table featuring a framed “Welcome To Our Airbnb” sign, a small potted succulent, a coffee mug, and a branded business card, illustrating subtle guest-facing branding." class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/519PPVuWcuyBW1TQzJ62LBm3S15QulixMZDe1uAESQKeth10czMGN9W0NYbkEodj.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>✅ Step 2: Send a Thoughtful Follow-Up</h3>Send this message 3–4 days after checkout:“Hi [Name], thank you for staying! If you’re ever back in Denver, we’d love to host you again — and we offer a 15% discount for returning guests. Just reach out directly!” That message costs $0 and builds repeat loyalty.<figure id="figure-wtoxgv52qymb2ahg81"><img id="wtoxgv52qymb2ahg81" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2ahxkLtbK92uYrWQN3uq7XkklNiHpsbTxpiLcZ6ew6AJzxhF6lXenjHyMNzB4sjO.png" alt="A handwritten thank-you card addressed to a recent guest sits next to a laptop and Airbnb envelope, showing a host’s thoughtful follow-up message to encourage repeat stays." title="A handwritten thank-you card addressed to a recent guest sits next to a laptop and Airbnb envelope, showing a host’s thoughtful follow-up message to encourage repeat stays." class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2ahxkLtbK92uYrWQN3uq7XkklNiHpsbTxpiLcZ6ew6AJzxhF6lXenjHyMNzB4sjO.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>✅ Step 3: Start Collecting Emails (Legally)</h3>Use a service like StayFi or offer free WiFi login with email opt-in. You’ll start building a guest list that you own — not Airbnb.Over time, you can:<ul><li>Offer discounts</li><li>Send last-minute deals</li><li>Promote new listings</li></ul><figure id="figure-f6dpob4scqmb2ahxdm"><img id="f6dpob4scqmb2ahxdm" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1byGBLFAPHoMeTkyV3t331yh364BOg98XLfnwD1mPJH8M3Z5213xjZWKJTxPyXqD.png" alt="A guest sign-up display featuring a framed QR code for a VIP email list sits next to a guestbook, pen, towels, and toiletries, encouraging Airbnb guests to join for exclusive offers." title="A guest sign-up display featuring a framed QR code for a VIP email list sits next to a guestbook, pen, towels, and toiletries, encouraging Airbnb guests to join for exclusive offers." class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1byGBLFAPHoMeTkyV3t331yh364BOg98XLfnwD1mPJH8M3Z5213xjZWKJTxPyXqD.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>🎯 Want help setting up your retention system?</h3>Click below to schedule a free 45-minute strategy call.

How to Get Repeat Guests (Without Paying Airbnb More Fees)

Guests don’t just book beds. They book feelings.If your listing doesn’t make them imagine themselves there — relaxed, connected, inspired — they scroll right past it.Here’s how to go beyond features and tap into emotion.<h3>✅ #1: Add at least one lifestyle photo</h3>Instead of:<ul><li>A couch shot Try:</li><li>A couch with a soft throw blanket, coffee mug and warm light</li></ul>Instead of:<ul><li>A kitchen Try:</li><li>A breakfast tray with a croissant, orange juice and folded welcome card</li></ul>Why? Guests don’t buy features. They buy stories.<figure id="figure-6x959dk0admmb29tzu5"><img id="6x959dk0admmb29tzu5" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1flSi8mCvYTTI03eJwUVNWRxpmga1gEylk9XcXdkh72ZTkRu3pvovsbpKfPMeLyt.png" alt="A breakfast tray with toast and blueberries, a ceramic mug, and a vase of fresh daisies sits atop a cozy bed in warm morning light, creating a lifestyle scene that evokes comfort and emotional appeal." title="A breakfast tray with toast and blueberries, a ceramic mug, and a vase of fresh daisies sits atop a cozy bed in warm morning light, creating a lifestyle scene that evokes comfort and emotional appeal." class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1flSi8mCvYTTI03eJwUVNWRxpmga1gEylk9XcXdkh72ZTkRu3pvovsbpKfPMeLyt.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>✅ #2: Rewrite your intro with feeling</h3>Bad: “Welcome to our modern 1BR in Denver.

3 Ways to Make Your Airbnb Listing Emotionally Irresistible (Even If You’re New)

Your listing is live. The photos are great. You’ve got positive reviews. But your calendar is still… quiet.There’s a hidden reason this is happening — and it’s buried inside your listing’s settings.Most hosts in Colorado make this mistake: they optimize everything except the settings that Airbnb actually uses to match you with guests.Let’s fix that.<h3>❌ What Most Hosts Forget to Check</h3>When was the last time you updated your:<ul><li>✅ Instant Book settings</li><li>✅ Minimum nights required</li><li>✅ Advance notice before booking</li><li>✅ Lead time between stays </li></ul>If you haven’t adjusted these in over 60 days, Airbnb assumes you’re not an active host — and pushes you down in search.<figure id="figure-h9ykhc0g55mb29k5y6"><img id="h9ykhc0g55mb29k5y6" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/36d6YADYHMnThI67v9HEaIPe3ZmAGe798c7m8bZ49UnK6ogecdfB1MORUwtTFKBH.png" alt=" A laptop on a desk displays a calendar view with several red X marks across dates, illustrating how unoptimized availability settings can block potential bookings on Airbnb." title=" A laptop on a desk displays a calendar view with several red X marks across dates, illustrating how unoptimized availability settings can block potential bookings on Airbnb." class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/36d6YADYHMnThI67v9HEaIPe3ZmAGe798c7m8bZ49UnK6ogecdfB1MORUwtTFKBH.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>✅ How to Fix It (Takes 5 Minutes)</h3>✅ Enable Instant Book But filter it: only allow guests with previous 5-star reviews or verified IDs. This boosts conversion and trust.✅ Set your minimum stay to match demand If your calendar has gaps mid-week, don’t block them with a 3-night minimum. Let 1 or 2-night guests fill those gaps.✅ Adjust your advance notice Set it to 1 day or “same day” to appear in last-minute searches.<blockquote>📸 Pro Tip Visual: Most hosts don’t realize that adjusting these settings refreshes your listing in the algorithm — even without changing price or photos.</blockquote><figure id="figure-3q6clky38smb29njim"><img id="3q6clky38smb29njim" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1evOj272rSneTqePZoLqU688n6oHSnhDbi9KFNiC0swKCNCnpZAetlxJJ8llYtTf.png" alt="A person adjusts Airbnb booking settings on a laptop, modifying availability and preparation time to increase visibility and flexibility for guests." title="A person adjusts Airbnb booking settings on a laptop, modifying availability and preparation time to increase visibility and flexibility for guests." class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1evOj272rSneTqePZoLqU688n6oHSnhDbi9KFNiC0swKCNCnpZAetlxJJ8llYtTf.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>🎯 Ready to update with confidence?</h3>Click below to book your free 45-minute Airbnb Settings Audit.

The Airbnb Setting You Probably Forgot to Update (And It’s Costing You Bookings)

You log into your Airbnb dashboard… Only 7 views in the last 3 days. No messages. No bookings. Nothing.But your price is fair. Your reviews are solid. Your space is beautiful.So, what’s missing?The problem isn’t your property — it’s your visibility. And in competitive markets like Denver, small changes can lead to big jumps in search exposure.Here are 3 simple tweaks you can do today to get more clicks — without rewriting your whole listing.<figure id="figure-tb3j8kqwfdmawthgbz"><img id="tb3j8kqwfdmawthgbz" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/3g9cSKqXtBrmsn5lXptcqwp3KTWRWvCAWmGWAqHHR7grzDbmAhR7n3y9H9vRoqED.png" alt="A laptop screen displays a declining Airbnb performance graph next to a monthly budget sheet and a “Past Due” notice, symbolizing the urgency of fixing listing visibility to maintain income." title="A laptop screen displays a declining Airbnb performance graph next to a monthly budget sheet and a “Past Due” notice, symbolizing the urgency of fixing listing visibility to maintain income." class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/3g9cSKqXtBrmsn5lXptcqwp3KTWRWvCAWmGWAqHHR7grzDbmAhR7n3y9H9vRoqED.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>✅ Tweak #1: Reorder Your First 5 Photos</h3>Most hosts feature 3 shots of the bedroom from different angles... That’s a mistake.📸 Show 5 different areas of your space:<ol><li>Living room</li><li>Kitchen</li><li>Bedroom</li><li>Bathroom</li><li>Outdoor or “extra” space (patio, desk, view, etc.) </li></ol>Why it works: Airbnb shows your gallery preview in search.
