Are you seeing fewer bookings?

Lowering your prices just to get reservations?

Staring at an empty calendar and not sure why?

The Listing Clinic is back! Post the URL of your Airbnb (or VRBO) listing below — whichever has the most reviews.

Each time, I’ll select 2–3 listings from the comments 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:

  • Drop your listing link in this thread
  • 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.

Hi Derek!

Thanks for the clinic!

My second time to try to get your checkup.

Hope I get your or Chris’s feedback this time.

I’ve changed the title to be more simple. 
and planning to get new cover photo to show my strong amenities like waterslide and cave style hot tub. 
 

My description seems too long so I’m trying to be more intentional about tightening it up.

 

It was great learning experience from other videos too! Thanks a lot!

I would love for you to take a look at my listing. My location is totally saturated and I'm bookings have dropped off. I changed the overall title and move the pictures around often. Thanks for the review

Hi Derek! We’ve been with Hospitable for a long time and are currently working closely with the team to align our business model with your evolving features. We’re at a bit of a crossroads with our strategy and would love your expert eyes on our top-performing listing to see how we can better leverage Hospitable’s internal tools versus third-party integrations.

 

I would appreciate you to take a look at my listing. This location is also totally saturated and had no bookings for a week now. I changed the overall title and got some decent photography done.

It would be incredibly helpful to see if our current setup is optimized for the 'new' Hospitable ecosystem!

Hi Derek!

 

After a great December we are in a lull. We seem to have quite a few last minute bookings last year but getting concerned as we don’t have anything booked until April. Love that we have a community who can help! Would greatly appreciate the insight and assistance you have. Link is below!

Hi Derek,

Would greatly appreciate if you can give a look to our listing. We have been in the market for last two months but we are not seeing much traction for this property. Strangely our other property which is just a few houses away is doing good but this one we dont have many bookings from Airbnb or VRBO though we have reduced a price a lot. Thank you again.

Hi! I’d love feedback on my Palm Springs condo listing, PS Retreat. It’s a well-performing Airbnb overall, but it’s in an older HOA building with shared systems, so I’m especially interested in ways to better set guest expectations, reduce friction around building quirks, and strengthen the listing to attract the right guests. I’d appreciate any input on the listing copy, photos, amenities, pricing, or anything that could improve clarity, conversions, and guest experience.

I would love your insights on my listing! We have an STR in Chelan, WA. We are booked solid from about March-October but struggle to get Morse traction in the off season. If there are obvious shortcomings in my listing I would love your suggestions! Thank you for your consideration!

We are doing pretty well overall but when we bought it we were hoping to see more longer-term (1 week+) rentals. At the moment we get a lot of 2-3 day rentals on weekends and much of the week remains empty even in the prime seasons of winter and summer. Thanks so much for this generous offer! https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1049966856395686944?source_impression_id=p3_1768318029_P3K_k9XhlEW-yyKA

Hi Derek and Chris!

Thank you so much for doing this.  I think its a great idea and would be very helpful!  I just went live in October and started out strong for the first 2 months but have noticed a slow down in December and nothing so far in January.  Your input would be greatly appreciated!
