I‑unlock ang kapangyarihan ng Host Card mo

Sinabi sa amin ng mga bisita na bago sila magpareserba ng Kuwarto, gusto nilang malaman kung sino ang makakasama nila sa tuluyan. Isang paraan ang Host Card para ipakilala ang iyong sarili at ilatag ang mga dapat asahan ng mga bisita.

Kumukuha ang Host Card ng mga pangunahing detalye mula sa profile mo at itinatampok nito ang mga iyon sa mga resulta ng paghahanap sa Mga Kuwarto. Puwedeng i-tap ng mga bisita ang iyong litrato para mabasa ang lahat ng ibinahagi mo tungkol sa iyong sarili. O maaari silang dumiretso sa page ng listing mo, kung saan mahahanap nila ang katulad na impormasyon sa ilalim ng pamagat na "Kilalanin ang iyong host."

Nakasaad sa itaas ng Host Card mo ang iyong pangalan, kung ilang taon ka nang nagho‑host, ang star rating mo, at ang bilang ng mga review ng bisita. Sinusundan iyon ng anumang personal na detalyeng gusto mong idagdag, gaya ng iyong trabaho, mga hobby, wika, trivia tungkol sa iyo, pangalan ng alagang hayop mo, at kung bakit espesyal ang pamamalagi sa tuluyan mo.

I‑edit ang iyong profile para magdagdag ng mga detalye sa iyong Card. Subukan ang mga tip na ito para sa pagkuha ng litrato na magpapaganda sa unang impresyon nila sa iyo.

Your host profile helps you start building rapport with guests. Learning that you share a common interest, line of work, or taste in music creates a sense of familiarity.

“The host doesn’t have to be my best friend, but they should be someone who I feel good sharing a space with,” says Stacey, a guest based in Oklahoma City. “Their profile humanizes them and helps set the tone for the visit.”

Getting more details upfront also helps guests decide whether your place is a good fit for their travel needs, while saving both of you time and energy. “It cuts down on messaging back and forth and makes booking even easier, because my questions are already answered,” Stacey says.

Chris, a Superhost in Macon, Georgia, uses his host profile to break the ice with guests. “I’m a quiet person, and it’s helped me open up more,” he says. 

In his profile, Chris notes that he’s a retired athlete who played football for 2 historically Black universities. He also shares that he:

• Spends too much time golfing
• Was born in the ’80s
• Provides a coffee bar for guests

Taking the time to give guests a bit more to go on before they book your room can help match guests who have similar interests and routines.

As guest Stacey notes, “If I read that the host ‘spends too much time’ singing karaoke, I know they’re going to expect a different kind of guest than a host who ‘spends too much time’ home binge-watching Netflix.”
