Whenever you are trying to decide which amenity to include it needs to be really specific to your individual listing and why guests tend to chose it in the first instance. Say you are trying to decide between adding a hot tub OR a sauna. If your place attracts people unplugging in nature a sauna may be a better motivational fit while a hot tub could have a more generic appeal. A simple starting point is to go to Airbnb as a guest, search your location using the number of guests you host, click on Filters, then scroll down to > Amenities > Popular. Hot tubs will often show here if they are a often chosen search filter for your location..

Not writing an Airbnb review causes a temporarily dip in visibility, usually for 1-2 weeks. Airbnb business model is built on 'trust' and they are very upfront in reminding hosts that reviews are important. The algorithm is built to measure over 100 elements in determining which listings are shown in specific searches so don't miss the opportunity to tick this one off.

A big challenge I see lots of hosts getting tangled in is pricing so I just wanted to share this - hope it helps someone! Something that is really overlooked from a booking psychology point of view is that pricing too low can be just as detrimental to getting bookings as pricing too high. Low prices convey to your ideal guests - 'this seems really low, there must be something we are missing or there must be something wrong with the place". There is a saying in sales and marketing that a confused mind says no. If the price doesn't match what the listing is promising, whether too low OR to high, guests will pass it by.
