Standing out as an Airbnb host can be fun and rewarding! Here are three simple yet powerful tips every host should embrace:

1. Make Checkouts Effortless with Clear Instructions

Checkout shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle! Over 1.4 million Airbnb listings are now using clear checkout instructions since May 2023, and guests are loving it. Simple guidelines make it easy for your guests to depart without confusion, giving them one last reason to leave you a glowing review. Airbnb sends these instructions automatically the night before checkout, keeping things smooth and stress-free.

Easily set up or update your checkout instructions via Resly Connect+ under Listings in the Airbnb Channel.

2. Quality is Your Best Friend for Great Reviews

Want to boost bookings and become a Superhost? Prioritise quality! Every 5-star review can bump your bookings by about 4.6% the following year. Ensuring cleanliness, open communication, and a hassle-free check-in creates unforgettable experiences that guests love - and rave about. Plus, achieving Superhost status unlocks extra perks like priority support and increased exposure.

Keep an eye on your reviews easily within Resly by connecting to the Airbnb channel in Resly Connect.

3. Embrace Feedback to Level-Up Your Hosting Game

Guest reviews aren’t just compliments or complaints - they're your secret weapon! Reviews provide valuable data to improve stays, highlight what you’re doing well, and pinpoint areas that need attention. Share feedback with your property owners to quickly address issues and ensure everyone stays happy.

With Resly’s smart AI tools, you can effortlessly manage your reviews and interact with guests post-stay. Our AI reads and responds to reviews with hyper-personalised messages, saving you time while ensuring genuine and engaging interactions.

The Surcharge Is Dead. Now Comes the Hard Part.

Let’s be clear: the card surcharge, as we know it, is on borrowed time. From 1 October 2026, Australia’s payments landscape will shift following the Reserve Bank of Australia’s payments reform. The practical outcome for accommodation businesses is simple. Visa, Mastercard, and EFTPOS will be able to enforce no-surcharge rules on the cards they cover. For most resorts and hotels, that means the familiar “add 1–1.5% at checkout” model is effectively over.
