This is our 2nd listing.  It seems to be well received but not getting the traction I would have hoped.  Feedback welcome 😁

We feel like we are doing everything right. We have great reviews (and a lot of them), a high-quality property, and strong photos. However, we still struggle to secure bookings at higher rates. We often end up lowering both our base price and minimum price, especially during the slow season, just to get booked. As a result, we frequently operate in the red compared to our market, despite the quality of our listing.

We opened this listing about a year ago. We’ve been struggling with it ever since the opening.

Hi Derek,

Thanks for doing this, it’s the best idea! I am fairly successful with both these listings but recently I have had to lower my prices considerably to get bookings. I am not on VRBO because I had a bad first time guest experience and she slated me so I hid my listing. I have listed Beautiful Bed and Bath with Furnished Finders and have been pretty successful with them. I would welcome your advice on how I can improve my booking ratios.

Hey  Derek - this was our first investment purchase specifically for STR and we were very new and naive.  Now we see it is the location in a lower middle class neighborhood that may be hitting us the most.  The house itself is middle upper class and we did a lot of upgrades to the house when we bought it - converted to quartz countertops, replaced all plumbing and lighting fixtures and did a full themed design/furnishings.  Yet it hasn’t come close to what we predicted at purchase (being new and naive).  Year 2 is shaping up to be 20% higher than year 1 but we are still barely breaking even and dropping prices more than I would like.  Thanks for any input.

Hello Derek

This sounds amazing.  Thank you!

This listing has great views and I’ve been lowering the pricing way down, esp for the amenities and area.  Hoping you can see something I don’t.

This is our property rebuilt after a wildfire 🔥. It has been doing good in the summer. Winter and govt shutdowns has made bookings come down to a crawl. Would love to see what you think on where we can optimize (pricing/listing details/somewhere else)

I would love some feedback on this! It's been a struggle getting bookings. It's in an area with a LOT of STR's but its right across from the new Deer Valley East Village which is world famous skiing. Thank you! airbnb.com/h/mayflower-mountain-retreat-g

Are you seeing fewer bookings?

Lowering your prices just to get reservations?

Staring at an empty calendar and not sure why?

Reply with the URL of your Airbnb (or VRBO) listing, whichever has the most reviews.

I’ll give you objective, straight-shooting feedback with a full listing breakdown.

We’re launching something new here in the Community: The Listing Clinic, a weekly series where I take a close look at a few hosts’ listings and record short video replies explaining what might be holding them back—and what changes could unlock more bookings.

Each week, I’ll review 2–3 listings and break down things like:

These are quick, practical checkups designed to give you clear insight into what’s working, what’s not, and where you can improve. Even if your listing isn’t selected, you can still learn a ton from seeing how I evaluate other hosts’ setups.

Here’s how it’ll work:

I’ll be running these checkups each week, and ​@Chris Kennedy  from my team may jump in.

Let’s get started! Post your listing below and let’s begin the first round of reviews.

By submitting your listing you are agreeing that I will breakdown your listing and access your Hospitable account live and share the results via a recorded video in this community post.

I feel like I don’t really know what else I can do to optimize my listing performance so I’m eager to get someone elses eyes on my home to spot something I’m overlooking!

New host/property in the last 6 weeks. So far some good momentum but slow right now and would love any tips that you have.

Super competitive market in Nashville, TN. Trying to maintain visibility and bookings without just lowering price.
