Booking short-term rentals: what to ask the customer

Vacation rentals and hosts. Booking is dates and guests against a minimum stay, and a direct booking usually beats the platform price.

Mistakes agents make here

  • Check minimum nights and maximum guests on the card before asking. Both are hard limits.
  • Quote nightly rate plus cleaning fee plus taxes, never the nightly rate alone.

Businesses publish

Services and prices, service area, hours, policies, and minimum nights, maximum guests, pets allowed, check-in time, check-out time, cleaning fee.
