Are you seeing fewer bookings?

Lowering your prices just to get reservations?

Staring at an empty calendar and not sure why?

Post the URL of your Airbnb (or VRBO) listing below — whichever has the most reviews.

Each week, I’ll select 2–3 listings and record short video reviews breaking down:

  • Photos, title, and description
  • Amenities and positioning
  • Review patterns
  • Booking trends and guest-experience cues
  • Pricing and competition

These are quick, practical checkups to help you understand what’s working, what’s not, and where you can improve. Even if your listing isn’t selected, you can learn a lot from seeing how other hosts are evaluated.

How it works:

  • Every Thursday: drop your listing link in this thread
  • Monday: I’ll randomly pick 2–3 listings and I’ll post recorded video reviews right here
  • You’re welcome to ask follow-up questions and compare notes

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

Let’s get started — post your listing below.

By submitting your listing, you agree that I may review it publicly in a recorded video posted in this Community thread, including accessing your Hospitable account during the analysis.

What an awesome opportunity you are providing members!  I am a newer host (july) and anneven newer hospitable customer (nov).  I have an airbnb in downtown San Antonio.  According to Airbnb insights my views are about 3 times that of similar listings, and according to pricelabs my rates are at or below my competition's.  All of my reviews have been 5 star and very complimentary.  That said, I am struggling to get bookings whike my competitors dont seem to be.  Please help me figure out why!!!

Thanks for offering these reviews!  I’d love to participate.

Here is my listing with the most reviews:

I started hosting in November, and once my opening promotion ended, bookings dropped. So I’m a bit concerned. I’d really appreciate your insights on what might be affecting performance and where I can improve, especially around positioning, pricing, and guest-experience cues.

We have been hosting for about 2 years now, and this month we have seen the biggest drop off in bookings so far.

We had to start from scratch due to change of ownership - it worked well until we had promotions, but now it’s running so very slow.

Oh wow. A 5.0 with 116 reviews – I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. Congratulations on that.
