Choose the appropriate type of accommodation

The initial step in managing short-term rentals involves selecting the appropriate property. You have the flexibility to offer either an entire house or apartment, a single room within your own apartment, or even consider cottages or villas as options for short-term rentals.

Determine your target group

When renting short-term, it is crucial to determine the target group of guests. Consider whether you are targeting tourists, families with children, people travelling for work or other specific groups. Each target group may have different accommodation and amenity requirements for the rental space, so it is important to tailor your service to meet the needs of your guests.

Focus on design and amenities

Attractive design and quality amenities in your accommodation can attract more guests. Make sure your accommodation is tastefully decorated, clean, practical and comfortable. Also think about the small details that can make it easier for guests to stay.

Create an informative website

Having your own website for your short-term rentals is the key to success. With it, you can showcase your accommodation, add photos, a description of the place, and information about the location. Share up-to-date information and tips, such as excursions and good food in the area. It is important that your site is user-friendly, fast, and responsive on different devices. Make sure you also have a simple booking system, and contact form for interested parties.

Harness the power of social media

Promoting on social media is a great way to get more guests for your short-term rentals. Create profiles on different social platforms and share interesting content regularly. Post up-to-date information, photos and tips, for trips and good food in the area. Also take advantage of reviews from satisfied guests. Follow trends and use hashtags to increase your accommodation’s visibility.

Guest care and communication

Satisfied guests are key to the success of your short-term rentals. Ensure that communication with guests is friendly and prompt. Respond to their questions and requests as soon as possible. Let them know that they are welcome in your accommodation during their stay.

Start collecting data and analyse it

Collecting data about your guests and their preferences can help you better understand the short-term rental market and tailor your services to the needs of your target audience. Analyse statistics from bookings, reviews and guest surveys. This will allow you to improve and adjust your short-term rentals to keep guests happy.

Perfect property management

Running a short-term rental business is a challenge, but it can also bring many opportunities. Prepare thoroughly, and pay attention to all aspects of the operation. Choose the right accommodation, look after your guests, and strive for continuous improvement.
