Problèmes fréquents des hôtes

- •Automation that violates Airbnb rules or sends the wrong tone

- •Rate changes lag behind events and seasonality
Ce que doivent inclure de bonnes solutions
- •One inbox for Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, and direct site messages
- •Templated messages with human approval, not auto-sending
- •Turnover schedules tied to the same calendar guests see

Conseils pratiques du quotidien d’hôte
- Audit your stack quarterly: remove duplicate apps, keep one calendar and one inbox.
- Use quiet hours so guests still feel heard while you sleep—send confirmations, not full answers.
- Create one cleaner brief with photos; reuse it for every turn instead of rewriting instructions.
- Tag local events two months ahead and set minimum stays early.
