Host Resources

New to Airbnb hosting? Learn the basics — from setting up your listing to handling your first guest check-in.

• Create a compelling Airbnb listing for the property
• Set competitive nightly rates using Airbnb's Smart Pricing
• Prepare a house manual and welcome guide for guests
• Understand Airbnb's host policies and community standards

Great photos and a well-staged property can increase occupancy by up to 40%.

• Invest in professional photography (Airbnb's free photography is available in select cities)
• Declutter and stage the space before photos
• Highlight unique features: views, balcony, kitchen equipment
• Update photos seasonally if the property has distinct seasonal appeal

Tips to keep your calendar full and your earnings high year-round.

• Price dynamically — raise rates during local events and festivals
• Offer a minimum-stay discount (e.g., weekly rate = 7th night free)
• Keep your response rate above 90% — Airbnb rewards it with better ranking
• Gather reviews actively; a 5-star review strategy starts at check-in

A successful sub-lease depends on a clear, respectful relationship with the property owner.

• Share monthly income statements and occupancy reports
• Notify the owner of any maintenance issues within 24 hours
• Respect the agreed use — no alterations without written approval
• Pay rent on the agreed date, every month, without exception
