When it comes to changing lookers into bookers, there are a few different factors involved. We look at lots of different elements that work in harmony with one another to lead to conversion. To have the best chance of getting the right bookings at the right time, it’s vital you set the right expectations, have clear information, competitive rates – and show off your property.

Creating a great experience for guests, while always meeting (and hopefully, exceeding) their expectations will have a positive effect on your reviews – another reason for lots of travellers to book your property.
