As a property host, choosing the best platforms to list your property is essential to maximize visibility and bookings. The primary platforms for property listings are Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, and Expedia. These platforms are well-established, attract a high volume of travelers, and typically account for the majority of bookings. We recommend prioritizing your presence on these marketplaces for broad visibility and higher booking rates.
Then consider having your own direct booking website that we can build for you, see more hereDirect bookings offer benefits such as retaining a larger portion of the booking revenue, building direct relationships with guests, and gaining full control over the booking process. While creating and marketing your website requires effort, it can become a significant source of bookings over time.
See how it goes, and then investigate the possibility to add more channels.
When deciding where and how to list your property, consider factors such as the type of guests you aim to attract (e.g., families, luxury travelers, niche audiences), your property’s unique features, and the costs versus benefits of using OTAs versus direct bookings. A balanced approach of leveraging major platforms, niche platforms, and direct bookings can optimize results.
