Asking guests for feedback is a great way to improve your Airbnb business.
According to data from Airbnb, more than 20% of first-time hosts never ask for feedback from their guests. Even for those that do ask, the rate of response is often under 50%. This is understandable, as guests are often busy trying to enjoy their stay and don't want to spend their time giving feedback.
However, it is possible to change your asking habits. And we're here to help you do that. Here are some top tips on how to collect and analyses feedback from your guests.
1. Set up a system for collecting feedback. This can be as simple as an e-mail address or a link to a survey that you send to guests after their stay. A system like this will ensure that you get feedback from all guests, even those who are only occasional visitors to your property.
2. Ask specific questions about their stay. What did they like? What could be improved? Also, don't forget to ask if they would recommend you to others. This is all important information that will help you make necessary changes and improvements.
3. Show your guests that you value their opinion. The best way to show your guests that you value their opinion is to ask for it! Asking your guests for their opinion shows that you care about their comfort and enjoyment, and it also gives them a chance to feel ask anything.
4. Make sure that your guests are satisfied with all aspects of your property and service. In order to make sure that your guests are satisfied with their stay, it is important to provide them with excellent customer service. This means that all of their needs should be met in a timely and efficient manner. If there are any problems with the property or service, be sure to rectify them as soon as possible. By providing your guests with a enjoyable experience, they are more likely to return in the future.
5. Follow up with guests who leave negative feedback. Thank them for their honest feedback and offer a sincere apology for any discomfort they experienced. Let them know what actions you’ve taken to improve the Airbnb experience for future guests.
6. Offer a discount to future guests who request feedback or an incentive. This could be a discount on their next stay, a free bottle of wine, or a voucher for a free meal. By giving them something to come back for, you're more likely to see them again.
7. Be honest about what you’re offering guests. For example, if your listing says that your home is located in an exclusive neighbourhood, but when guests arrive, they discover that the home is surrounded by large chain stores, it’s clear that the location is not considered safe or reputable in any way.
8. Repeat the process every time you host a new guest.
To sum up
Keeping your guests happy is the best way to ensure that they’ll come back to you.
By following the tips above, you can be sure to keep your guests happy and coming back for more. So go ahead and give them a try the next time you host someone.
