What Guests Want to Know
It is no surprise that location is of utmost importance to guests booking a WP Rentals. But what surprised us is the dilemma this subject created in our recent article What Guests Really Want to Know. On one side, there are travelers: they want to know everything about their destination right away – it helps them decide where to book and to plan their trip. On the other hand, there are hosts, many of whom naturally wish to preserve their privacy, especially before a booking is confirmed, while others want to share every last detail immediately.
Is there a way to convey the location information a guest desires without making the host feel too exposed? We believe there is. Let this checklist be your guide and everyone will benefit.
Tips
Provide recommendations early to allow guests to plan their trip.
Filling out your guide on WP Rentals is a great way to gather your recommendations, and it allows you to develop and reuse them for future guests.
A personal touch is appreciated – recommend things you actually do yourself and places you enjoy visiting. A concierge might give recommendations based on what they think an average tourist would appreciate, but your tips can be more personalized.
Use the above tips and you are sure to receive excellent reviews and feedback like this:
“The recommendations from our host on cheap food and other things to see nearby were perfect. We will definitely be back!”
