I just signed up for Booking.com and got my first reservation within a week and turned out they were a bad guest. The guest had brought additional guests than they listed on the reservation, doesn't respond to my messages/concerns, left my front door wide open when they left. I was trying to find host reviews about booking.com but couldn't find any. I guess only guests can leave reviews for the property but there's no option (that I see) for hosts to leave guest reviews like AirBnB. It also takes longer for me to receive my payment where AirBnb and Vrbo payout almost immediately.

Any pros/cons or advise/suggestions on booking.com??? Should I keep my listing on there? Or is this a bad platform for hosts?

Thanks!

It's a love | hate relationship. From my experience in the Atlanta market you get tons of bookings but normally not the bookings you want. Use with caution

Here are some benefits of rental arbitrage:

Little Upfront Investment Needed - Since you’re not buying the property, you do not need to outlay thousands of dollars for a down payment. All you need to do is pay your first months rent, damage deposit, and any furniture, linens, or amenities needed to get your property Airbnb ready.
Little Risk - Again, you don’t own the property. If the property does not generate enough bookings to cover your costs you can walk away from the lease.
You Can Scale Quickly - In order for you business to succeed it needs to be scalable and that is exactly what rental arbitrage offers. Most rental arbitrage hosts utilize channel manager software to assist in managing multiple locations.

Pros

For those planning to rent a property and then enter into the short-term market, these are the most significant benefits:

Limited startup costs
Relatively easy to set up online
Helps build capital for future investments
Can utilize the property for personal use as well

For landlords considering allowing arbitrage at their property, they may see these benefits:

Fill a long-term rental
Reduce overall vacancies
May be able to increase rent or add a premium for bookings

Hi Kalefe,

Hope this message finds you well. Thank you so much for reaching out to me and for your interest in a potential partnership.

Have you ever thought of becoming active in Punta Cana as well? If so, I think this is an unique opportunity for you. I just received this brand new property which is empty at the moment. The property needs to be furnished since it has just been built. I am exploring partnership possibilities so that we can to make the property operational and ready for use and would love to connect with you some time this week.

Let's talk - I will send you a message.

Thank you
