In the competitive short-term rental market, maintaining high-quality Airbnb listings is crucial for attracting guests, securing positive reviews, and driving revenue growth. At eviivo, we recognize the importance of keeping your properties in excellent condition. To support you, we’ve integrated an Airbnb Feedback report into eviivo Suite, helping you monitor your listings’ quality. In this post, we’ll discuss why it’s vital to stay on top of quality issues on Airbnb and how eviivo’s reporting tools can keep your listings in good standing.
Understanding Airbnb’s Quality Statuses
Airbnb uses a system to evaluate listing quality based on guest feedback and other factors. Your listing’s quality status may fall into one of several categories:
- Good: No quality issues have been reported. Your listing is performing well.
- Review Required: A quality issue has been flagged. It’s time to review Airbnb’s guidelines and take corrective action.
- Warning: Multiple quality issues have been identified. Immediate attention is needed to prevent further consequences.
- Additional Warning: The listing is on the brink of removal due to repeated quality problems. Urgent action is required.
- Probation: Your listing is at serious risk of suspension if issues persist. It’s crucial to address these concerns now.
- Pending Removal: The listing is marked for removal within 30 days unless issues are resolved.
- Suspended: The listing has been temporarily removed from Airbnb due to unresolved quality issues.
- Removed: The listing has been permanently removed from the platform.
Regularly reviewing your listings’ statuses through the eviivo Suite’s feedback report is the first step in maintaining and enhancing their visibility and profitability on Airbnb.
How Quality Issues Impact Your Listings
Quality issues can stem from negative guest reviews, customer service reports, and cancellations. These issues directly impact your listing’s status, potentially leading to a decrease in bookings or even removal from Airbnb.
Data from Airbnb shows that high-quality listings with consistently positive reviews tend to attract more bookings and generate higher revenue. For instance, each 5-star review can result in an average of 3.2% growth in Gross Booking Value (GBV) and a 4.6% increase in bookings over the following year, underscoring the importance of maintaining high standards.
The Importance of Regular Monitoring
To help you stay informed about potential issues, eviivo offers the ‘Airbnb Feedback’ report within eviivo Suite. This report gives you an easy overview of any listings flagged for quality issues by Airbnb. By regularly monitoring this report, you can proactively address concerns before they escalate, ensuring your listings remain active and in good standing.
The report also helps you identify specific issues contributing to low guest ratings, providing valuable insights into areas needing improvement, such as communication, cleanliness, or overall guest experience.
Proactively Enhancing Your Listings
By addressing any listings with negative quality issues – reviewing and taking corrective action to address the reasons for low review scores highlighted in the Airbnb Feedback report, you can enhance the guest experience and improve your ratings and reviews. This proactive approach helps prevent negative outcomes like suspension or removal, while also positioning your properties for increased bookings and revenue growth.
For new listings, maintaining high standards from the outset is especially important. Listings with fewer lifetime reviews can see a significant boost in earnings when they receive additional highly rated reviews, helping to establish a strong reputation on Airbnb.
