Airbnb Minimum Stay: The Setting That Turns Guests Away While You Sleep

AI disclosure: This episode is narrated by an AI-generated voice.

Your Airbnb minimum stay can turn guests away while you sleep. Sixteen people asked about one of our own properties and never booked. Sorted by reason, they came down to two, and one cost nothing to fix.

What you'll learn:

• How a minimum-night rule turns guests away without telling you
• Why your booking rules are a sales team you never interviewed
• How an offer you can deliver, but never showed, costs you bookings
• The four things a sellable offer needs, in order: photos, a defined experience, a price, delivery confidence
• How to build your photographer's shot list from guest questions
• A two-hour lost-inquiry audit you can run this week
