How to Get Your Guests to Market Your Airbnb for You

Since the dawn of the Smartphone, basically everything is documented with photos and videos, be it our food, our cute cat, our shoes, that cool leaf that fell on the floor while we were walking our dog, you name it – it’s got a photo on Instagram or FB (depending on how old you are) somewhere.

It’s a fact – People love taking photos of cool and interesting things, and your Airbnb should be one of them.

If your Airbnb happens to have amazing panoramic views then you’re in luck, decor can be kept to a minimum and in good taste and you’re sure to have an easier time getting your place booked.

However, if your Airbnb is not in an outstanding location or has beautiful views, then you’re going to need to rely on how your Airbnb looks in order to draw in those bookings. Here are some ideas to help get your creative juices started.

While this has been done, it’s still fun, so go head and add a huge world map that your guests can interact with and pin what country they are from. Better yet make it a wall!

Wallpaper

My favorite and most budget friendly way to quickly upgrade a space is with a bold and funky wallpaper.
