Do you guys recommend Bookings.com?

[Gulliver R.]

Hey All,

Right now I'm on Airbnb and VRBO. I wanted to know if you would recommend I add Bookings.com to the mix?

I have a lot of gaps during the weekdays. Most of my bookings are on the weekends. How do I fill those gaps? Do you recommend I lower the nightly rate for weekdays?

(FYI: I do use dynamic pricing)

And lastly, do you guys recommend I FaceTime (video share) with my cleaner after every cleaning job? Part of me wants to verify that they've actually cleaned the home, but part of me feels bad that I'm putting them through FaceTiming every time they've finished cleaning my property. What do y'all think?

Thank you so much in advance!

Gulliver

No, it’s awful to use and the guests are also low quality.

Your question about cleaners deserves a completely different thread, but who the hell has time to FaceTime after every clean? I use a service called Properly that has visual checklists and requires the cleaners to take pics as they go. People that work for properly review the pics in real time. You won’t be surprised to hear that our cleaners hate this too!
