Why do you need to know the Airbnb Occupancy Rate?

Market Research: Starting on your Airbnb venture? Knowing the occupancy rate will steer you in the right direction. The two most important factors are 1) choosing the perfect location with the highest average occupancy rate and 2)  determining the right number of bedrooms because you can’t change these two once you commit to a property.

Get more bookings: Knowing the peak season allows you to maximize your profit by charging higher fees. During low season, you can consider giving a discount for long-term rates, or it might be the right timing for you to use it as your vacation home! 

9 Simple Tips To Boost Your Airbnb Occupancy Rate

1. Choose the Right Airbnb Market

Finding the ideal Airbnb city or market is crucial in optimizing your occupancy rate. Look for popular destinations and analyze their Airbnb demand. These can positively affect your property’s visibility and desirability.

2. Search for the Best Submarket

Identify the most lucrative submarkets within your Airbnb city. A good Airbnb submarket includes the best neighborhoods, property types, and number of bedrooms. Targeting the specific preferences of potential guests in different areas can help you tailor your Airbnb to meet their needs and attract more bookings.

3. Add Some Amenities

Adding basic amenities such as towels, toilet paper, and wifi just meets guests’ expectations. However, going for an extra mile differentiates you from the rest. This may include adding a few small fancy Airbnb amenities, an Airbnb hot tub, or a swimming pool.

4. Furnish your Rental

Don’t skimp on quality furnishings because they will make your rental stand out. A thoughtfully designed and comfortable Airbnb is more likely to receive positive reviews and repeat bookings. Target the needs of your guests then create a welcoming environment conducive to longer stays.

5. Take Nice Photos

First impressions matter. Photos are worth a thousand words. Lure your guests with your property’s features captured in the best light. Showcase each room from different angles and center your rental’s unique aspect. While you can pick up some Airbnb photo tips, opting for a professional photographer can significantly enhance the visual appeal of your listing.

6. Boost Your Listings Visibility

Optimize your listing for Airbnb and search engine algorithms. Use relevant keywords in your title and description to target potential guests. Regular calendar updates and quick responses to guests’ inquiries also improve your search ranking.

7. Enable Airbnb Instant Book

Active Airbnb Instant Book for a seamless booking experience. This attracts spontaneous travelers. Plus, Airbnb often prioritizes and boosts the listings with this feature. 

8. Aim To Be An Airbnb Superhost

Aspire to have a Superhost status by giving exceptional hospitality. The rewards can be outstanding. These include increased visibility that can lead to higher occupancy rates and earnings.

9. Consider Professional Airbnb Managers

Consider hiring professional Airbnb managers who specialize in optimizing property listings. Aside from doing the marketing side of your rental, these experts can also handle tasks from the pricing strategy to communication with guests. You can also hire them for property upkeep and maintenance. However, these services come at a cost usually with a commission-based pricing structure.
