Three essential things in the care of your property

If you want to get more reservations in your vacation rental apartments, you must be very clear about the 3 main elements of property care.

Cleaning: the arrival of guests is very important. And what better than a shiny home? Make sure that the furniture and the space in general are tidy and welcoming. Check under all furniture to remove any items or debris left behind by previous guests.

Maintenance: Having to unexpectedly cancel reservations due to maintenance issues is not pleasant at all. To help avoid these situations, schedule preventative and routine maintenance to diagnose any major issues before they come at the expense of your guest’s stay.

Security: Implementing security checks on a frequent basis will bring you many benefits such as peace of mind for guests and owners, accident prevention, reduced liability, higher booking conversions and a stronger brand reputation. To do this, you must take into account the following standards:

  • Make sure smoke alarms and CO (carbon monoxide) detectors are installed and working properly.
  • Confirm that a basic first aid kit is available for guests.
  • Post emergency information for all guests.

Better photos, more reservations

One of the most important aspects to increase the number of guests and reservations is to have good marketing, a good promotion of your property, which will not be possible if you do not have photographs that convey what the guest would like to experience in your accommodation.

The photographic material has to arouse the interest and the desire to reserve your potential clients. They must include the elements of each room that can differentiate you and make your property special. Organize the spaces well and take care of every detail. Try with each scene that your potential clients feel what they can enjoy in your accommodation and its surroundings.

The photographs must include the highlights of each room, always with the bedding without wrinkles and the towels neatly folded, with the curtains and blinds open to let in natural light. Don’t forget to photograph the bathrooms with their well-presented amenities. The pool with the loungers arranged with a refreshing drink and a very appetizing breakfast table set in detail. Also take some close-up photos of the details you offer that set you apart.

If you dare to take the photos yourself, you need to inform yourself, both to make sure that the professional’s photos are good or if you prefer to do it yourself.

Increase your accommodation reservations with good WiFi

Offering a secure and quality Wi-Fi connection is a differentiating factor in the decision to rent an accommodation. In fact, it is estimated that 70% of travelers look for technologically advanced lodging, the most sought after is a stable and risk-free Wi-Fi connection.

Now that you know that the guest will always seek to have the best connectivity services, check out these simple tips so your vacation accommodation is one of the most outstanding in this aspect:

Create a suitable WiFI infrastructure.
Install router repeaters in your property to guarantee connectivity in all the spaces of your property.

Choose the best provider in the area.
The WiFi must be of quality, high speed and without cuts. Do not go for the cheapest option as it is not a guarantee of quality. Ask your neighbors which Internet they use and if they recommend it. It is important to consider the speed of the connection and the bandwidth of the operator.

Differentiating benefit.
When you promote your property, use the good Internet service to differentiate it from the high competition. Mention it in the title and in the description of the accommodation.

So now you know, having a good Internet will guarantee you a better quality of accommodation and therefore more reservations.

How the war in Ukraine affects the tourism

Tourism is one of the sectors affected by the war in Europe, due to the enormous variety of subsectors that have to function in a balanced way so that tourists can enjoy their holidays. These are some points that we distinguish from the beginning of the conflict:

Increase in all supplies.
The drastic increase in the price of oil will directly affect most supplies such as electricity, water, gas. Around the world, inflation is rising, and with it travel and other non-basic expenses are falling.

Fall of luxury tourism.
Luxury tourism will be one of the most affected by the current situation, for a simple reason: in general, Russian tourists spend more.

Traveler reduction
Flying is more expensive than ever. IATA (International Air Transport Association) announced that airlines raise their fares as a result of rising oil prices.

The main affected by this conflict is the Ukrainian people, but in today’s deeply interconnected world, what happens in one corner ends up affecting the rest, and the tourism sector will have to survive to this war that we hope end now.

“A picture is worth a thousand words” – Why? Because there is no need to say anything else, just look at an image to understand everything and fall in love with that place. Currently in the vacation rental market what matters is the image because:

The photographs offer the possibility that the guest can imagine what the stay would be like, since users like to know what the place where they will stay is like.

They are a good presentation for rates, especially for those guests who seek quality and comfort above all.

Without a doubt, the better those images are, the better the chances of booking.

Here are some tips to get good photos of your property:
1. The photographs must be attractive, they must always reflect what the client will enjoy during the stay.

2. False expectations should not be created.

3. Always keep them updated.

A good presentation of your property is essential to increase the chances of booking.
