If you’re like me, you’ve probably wondered if it’s worth it to host a large group. I mean, what’s the point?
You have to clean up after them, they take up all your space, and they might not even be that polite!
Well, as it turns out, there are a lot of benefits to hosting a large group – especially if you’re an Airbnb host.
In this blog post, we’ll discuss some of the top reasons why hosting a large group can be beneficial for you and your Airbnb property.
Why Host a Large Group – The Benefits
1. More Money
This is probably the number one reason why people choose to host a large group. When you have more guests, you obviously have the potential to make more money. And, if you’re smart about it, you can actually make a lot more money per guest by hosting a large group. Here’s how it works:
Let’s say you have a two-bedroom apartment that you normally rent out for £100 per night. If you were to host a group of four people, you could easily charge £30 per person, per night – that’s £120 total! And, if your guests are staying for multiple nights, you can really start to rack up the cash.
Of course, you’ll need to make sure that your space is large enough and comfortable enough to accommodate a larger group. But, if it is, hosting a large group can be a great way to increase your earnings.
2. More Reviews
When you have more guests, you also have the potential to get more reviews. And, as we all know, reviews are essential for Airbnb hosts. They help you to attract new guests and they also give you an opportunity to improve your listing.
So, if you’re looking for a way to get more reviews, hosting a large group is a great option. Not only will you have the potential to get more reviews, but you’ll also have the opportunity to get better reviews. That’s because guests who are part of a larger group are usually more satisfied with their stay.
3. Improved Listing
When you have more guests, you also have the potential to improve your listing. That’s because, as we mentioned before, guests who are part of a larger group are usually more satisfied with their stay.
And, when you have happy guests, they’re more likely to leave positive reviews and give you a higher rating.
In addition, hosting a large group can also help you to improve your listing in other ways. For example, if you have a lot of happy guests, they’re more likely to share your listing with their friends and family.
And, if you get a lot of positive reviews, you’re more likely to rank higher in search results. So, if you’re looking for a way to improve your listing, hosting a large group is definitely worth considering.
4. Word of Mouth Marketing
If you have happy guests, they’re more likely to tell their friends and family about your listing. This will attract more guests, leading to more money, more reviews, and so on.
So, word of mouth marketing is a great way to grow your business – and it’s one of the benefits of hosting a large group.
Tips to Host a Large Group
Now that we’ve discussed some of the benefits of hosting a large group, let’s talk about how you can actually do it. If you’re thinking about hosting a large group, here are some tips to help you out:
1. Choose the Right Space
The first step is to choose the right space. If you’re going to host a large group, you need to make sure that your space is large enough and comfortable enough to accommodate everyone. Take some time to consider your options and choose the best space for your needs.
2. Set Clear Expectations
Before your guests arrive, it’s important to set clear expectations.
Make sure that your guests know what you expect from them and what they can expect from you. This will help to avoid any misunderstandings or problems during their stay.
3. Communicate with your Guests
Communication is essential when you’re hosting a large group. You need to be able to communicate with your guests so that you can answer any questions or address any concerns.
The best way to do this is to use a group chat or email thread so that everyone can stay in touch.
4. Be Organised
When you’re hosting a large group, organisation is key. You need to be able to keep track of everyone’s belongings and make sure that everyone is where they’re supposed to be.
The best way to do this is to create a schedule and stick to it.
5. Be Flexible
Finally, it’s important to be flexible when you’re hosting a large group. Things will inevitably go wrong and you need to be able to roll with the punches. If you’re flexible and able to adapt, you’ll be able to handle anything that comes your way.
Hosting a large group can be a great way to earn more money, get more reviews, and improve your listing.
