If it´s not too much of a hassle to meet the guests, I recommend doing that. It will give you an opportunity to build a relationship and understand better what type of guests they are and what they are looking for. As a result, you can provide a better experience. Plus you can help out if there’s any immediate issues. This all leads to better reviews and ratings.

You can easily share your Airbnb listing link with prospective guests, either through the Airbnb website or the Airbnb app. You can share the link on Facebook, Twitter, email and various messaging apps as well as copy the link or even embed your listing on a website. Sharing your Airbnb listing link on social media channels is a good idea. You may get some extra views and bookings for your listing. Watch the video below or read the instructions to learn how to share your Airbnb listing link.

Sometimes you just don´t have the time to properly screen your guests. Think about the last-minute booking from a guest without reviews. Your gut tells you something doesn´t feel right, you don´t have the time to properly screen them but you don´t want to cancel it from your side either.

Setting an advance notice in your reservation preferences could help. Here´s how you do it.

Step 1: Go to your availability settings and edit your reservation preferences

Step 2: Set your preference.
