Done by a person, not a machine

Airbnb and Booking.com block automated reads of a listing, so no instant score is honest. We open yours ourselves.

The 20 points we check

In the order a guest reads your listing: title and photos first, reviews last.

Title and positioning

  • The area name is in the title, not just the villa name
  • One differentiator is present: private pool, rice field view, beachfront
  • The title is not cut off on a phone screen

First five photos

  • The cover photo leads with the property's strongest feature
  • Pool or main living space appears before a guest has to swipe
  • No dark or blurry photo sits in the first five
Villa bedroom with timber floors and morning light through the windows

Description

  • The first 400 characters already sell, because the rest hides behind Read more
  • The English reads properly and is not machine translated
  • Distance to the beach, cafes, or landmarks is given as a number

Amenities

  • Ticked amenities match what the photos actually show
  • Wifi speed is stated as a number, not just ticked
  • Air conditioning is listed per room, not generalised

Pricing

  • Weekend and weekday rates differ
  • Weekly and monthly discounts are switched on
  • The cleaning fee does not surprise anyone at checkout

Calendar and rules

  • Minimum stay makes sense for the season
  • Instant book is on, or there is a clear reason it is not
  • No house rule pushes a guest away at the last second

Reviews

  • Reviews get replies, especially the low-star ones
  • The lowest-scoring category is known and being worked on

What a tidy listing still cannot fix

A tidy listing lifts bookings, but Airbnb and Booking.com still take 15-18 percent.

The listing needs work

Photos, title, description and settings, done once and done properly. The cheaper, faster job.

The commission still comes out

A tidy listing adds bookings on a channel that keeps its cut. A channel without the cut is a different job.
