Will your guests be comfortable all year round?• Keep it simple, the less personal belonging’s and clutter, the better.• Great photos! Guests have never been to your property before, so they don’t know how great it is unless youhave great marketing photos.• Things should be easy to use. Not everyone is tech savvy and able to work out how things operate. A guestshould be able to turn on the TV, change channels and volume ideally without using 3 separate remotes! Ifanything at the property is a little out of the ordinary, clear instructions will most definitely help.• Value for money. Our industry is very competitive and value for money is at the top of most guests’ priorities.Having a Flexible approach to nightly rates and adapting to demand will ensure higher occupancy.• Comfy beds. The likelihood of a bad review is a lot higher if your guest doesn’t sleep well.• Wi-Fi. This is an expectation now so all homes should have it.• Great parking is a bonus, if a guest can bring their boat, your property will certainly get more enquiry.• Research shows that guests are looking for coffee makers, this may give your property a point of difference overother homes.• Be flexible regarding pets. A lot of kiwis like to travel with their companions, and this can often be the reason theyhave chosen to look at a holiday home as opposed to a hotel or motel.• Include commercial linen and made-up beds. The days are limited for guests bringing their own linen or makingtheir own beds, there is now an expectation in the market that linen is included.• Think about bed configuration. Who are you trying to attract and what options will allow the most flexibility?• If you are looking to attract families, maybe consider a portacot and highchair and some board games.• Keeping on top of maintenance and spring cleans. The better the property presents the happier a guest will be,and the likelihood of them returning is much higher.&nbsp;All of the above will contribute towards a higher guest star rating. If you can achieve a guest rating near to 5stars, you will undoubtedly have a successful holiday home!&nbsp;If you would like more tips or suggestions from our experienced team, we would love the opportunity to meet withyou and provide you with tailored information and a free holiday home appraisal.<a href="https://www.taupoholidayhomes.co.nz/contact-us" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here to request more information.&nbsp;</a>
