Expanding to other platforms
Hello everyone,
I'm currently hosting 25 properties on Airbnb and have been considering expanding my reach by listing on Booking.com as well (especially during slow season). Before making a decision, I wanted to reach out to this knowledgeable community for some insights.
- Impact on Bookings: Have any of you noticed a significant change in your booking rates on Airbnb after listing on Booking.com? I'm curious whether hosting on multiple platforms leads to more overall bookings or if it simply redistributes the existing ones.
- Management Complexity: How much additional effort is required to manage listings across different platforms? Are there any tools or strategies you recommend for keeping track of bookings, updating calendars, and ensuring there are no double bookings?
- Guest Experience and Reviews: Does hosting on multiple platforms affect the guest experience or the types of guests you receive? Additionally, how do you manage reviews across different sites? Is there an impact on your Airbnb rating?
- Pricing Strategy: How do you approach pricing when your property is listed on multiple platforms? Do you keep it consistent across the board, or adjust based on the platform's audience and fees?
- Platform Policies and Support: Have you encountered any challenges with the policies or support teams of either Airbnb or Booking.com when managing issues that arise from dual listings?
I would greatly appreciate any advice, experiences, or insights you could share on these points. It's a big decision, and I want to ensure I'm considering all the potential impacts on my hosting business.
