Effective guest communication is a key ingredient in this business. From initial inquiries to post-stay follow-ups, the way you communicate can greatly impact your guests' satisfaction and overall success as a host. Today, I'll be sharing valuable guest communication tips to help you become a top-notch Airbnb super host 🤑

1. Prompt Responses

Responding promptly to inquiries and messages is crucial. Guests appreciate hosts who are attentive and quick to address their questions or concerns. Aim to reply within a few minutes and if you can't respond immediately, an automated message acknowledging their inquiry can go a long way.

Your response time is also taken into account from Airbnb. Taking longer than 24 hours to respond will count as a late response, which will decrease your response rate and increase your response time. Both of these can impact your listing’s position in search results.

2. Personalization Matters

Take the time to personalize your messages. Address guests by their names and reference their specific inquiries or requests. Personal touches create a welcoming atmosphere for your guests.

Even when you are using automated messages, there is a way to make it feel like the guest’s are communicating with a real person rather than an AI customer service rep which is much more appreciated by guests.

3. Pre-Arrival Communication

Reach out to guests instantly after they book, to confirm the booking. Provide guests with clear and detailed information about your property, including check-in/check-out instructions, house rules, and any amenities available. Guests should have all the information they need to feel comfortable and informed for their stay before they arrive.

4. Resolve Issues Professionally

In the event of any problems or complaints, address them promptly and professionally. Offer solutions, and if necessary, consider compensation. How you handle issues can significantly impact a guest's perception of their overall experience.

5. Automation

Keeping up with guest inquires, questions/concerns & check out messages can be a lot. This is why automation is so important.

Hospitable is my favorite automated messaging software:

• Manage conversations from inquiry to review and beyond.

• Automate conversations in your own voice.

• Question auto-detection

• All messages from different platforms in one place.

• Stay in control with smart canned replies.

Guest communication is a vital skill for Airbnb hosts. By being responsive, proactive, and attentive to your guests' needs, you can create a positive and memorable experience that leads to 5 star reviews and reoccurring bookings 🔥
