Strange guest requests handled right!

Odd Requests  Guests have odd requests but a properly delivered odd request will bring you the best review you have ever gotten! See special requests as an opportunity to write your own review.   "Please provide a picture of a dog dresses as a boat captain and place it on my bed, thank you"  "Hey, can you make me a fort?"

A Smoke Detector for Sound - Airbnb Simplified!

After Rezfest Las Vegas there was so much to catch up on and research! One company stood out among the rest, NoiseAware . I made the decision to try the product after discussions with current clients of theirs at RezFest. Decided to order a few and test it out.  The Devices arrived in a timely manner, nicely packaged with simple instructions. Shortly after the horrific Mandalay Bay Route 91 Harvest festival shooting took place and precedence over all else. We were dealing with an onslaught of instant bookings from people leaving the strip and cancellations from people who decided to cancel their trips. Soon after all airbnb records were collected and submitted to the FBI. Turns out the shooter had stayed in MY building during the Life Is Beautiful festival the week prior. During this period the FBI was in the building, national press outside chasing residents and guests were arriving to a building in upheaval. The building came together and worked to abide by new rules ...

If you use VRBO you WILL BE ROBBED (ps. they don't care)

This condo was only offered as a vacation rental when it was allowable by law. After recreational legalization the listing title was 420 friendly OK for a short time. VRBO could have stopped the robbery of my home, stealing of my identity, all my personal effects and faith in a fraudulent credit card but didnt. Below is what happened and how you can avoid it. My Condo!  VRBO accepted a reservation under the name and card of Wesley Munz (stolen credit card) by running the card through Yapstone payments who VRBO works exclusively with for ALL payment processing. VRBO showed me the payment was MADE and complete..  At 7am on the morning of expected checkin checkin an email hits my spam folder from Yapstone. I am very careful not to miss VRBO related communications so I have an email filter for all communications with VRBO Listing in the email. This Yapstone email has "VRBP Listing" a TYPO in the TITLE and body of the email?  The only email to eve...

Consumables - Don’t run out!

Have you ever been in the shower and realized there was no soap or on a toilet and found inadequate toilet paper squares? These are big Vacation Rental Management faux pas. A negative experience like this can set the tone for a guest and create and underwhelming or even a bad experience. Knowing the importance of coffee in the morning and the availability of other consumables LuxuryPad created the “Total Care Package.” LuxuryPad stocks your home with all necessary consumables to ensure guests never run out! As part of our “Total Care Package” guests will receive personal shampoo, conditioner, soap and body wash provided by LuxuryPad. Included in the package is toilet paper, paper towels, box tissues, teas, and coffee.

Blocking Off Days to Create Demand

For many hosts the sound of blocking days to get more bookings may sound counterintuitive however when done correctly it creates scarcity and in turn increases demand for your listing through both social validation and limited availability. This is a guaranteed way to increase the ADR (Average Daily Rate) on your listings.  Without experience in A/B testing and vigilance in oversight this method can absolutely lose you money. LuxuryPad prides itself on its in house listing optimization experts. Our listings rank in the top 1% on airbnb and our SuperHost accounts land us in the top 3% of all hosts.

It’s easy to miss important cleaning tasks while cleaning their homes for new guests. Never assume that guests will clean up after themselves, even if you are lucky enough to get a few rounds of tidy renters. It is super important to make sure you are at your property the day guests leave to check how much cleaning will be necessary and to check for any damages. Surprises are not always pleasant, specifically when there is a great pile of dirty dishes and towels or an overflowing garbage can. Attempting to clean your entire vacation rental in just a few hours is setting yourself up for a horrible, stressful day. It’s unprofessional and disrespectful to rush through cleaning up for guests who are expecting an immaculate vacation home. Rental places can easily be passed over for a hotel room that is cleaned daily; instead, guests have chosen you to be their host. A scheduled routine prompts action and eventually becomes habitual. Preparing in advance and sticking to a cle...
