New traveler research is rewriting the rules of vacation rental hosting. Want to know what it says?
In this episode, former Powering Travel host, Brandon Ehrhardt, and Tim Rosolio break down what today's travelers expect from their rentals and how hosts can deliver it. Brandon walks through the non-negotiables that separate a booked-out listing from one collecting dust. He shares why good photos are beyond critical, why 80% of guests expect a reply within the hour, and how a simple proactive check-in message can turn even a broken hot tub into a five-star review.
He also unpacks why 86% of travelers will pay more for a higher-quality listing, what pricing red flags send guests straight to a competitor, and how to solicit reviews like your business depends on it…because it does.
This episode is for the host ready to level up.
