Booking:com Dynamic Pricing, now directly by PriceLabs
François Gouelo, CEO of Enso Connect, says Airbnb’s decision to restrict off-platform messaging is a clear attempt to protect its core business model by limiting direct bookings. While some hosts have used indirect methods—like guidebooks or third-party tools—to nudge guests toward direct channels, Airbnb is drawing a firmer line. #airbnb #shorttermrentals #propertymanagers #propertymanagement #airbnbhost #airbnbnews #airbnbcancellation #vacationrentalmanagement #vacationrentals #trendingshorts #shortsviral #shortsyoutube #shorts #pricelabs #offplatform #guestmessaging #directbookings #FrancoisGouelo
Airbnb Restricts Off-Platform Messaging to Limit Direct Booking
François Gouelo, CEO of Enso Connect, says Airbnb’s growing focus on experiences is a clear signal that property managers should lean into offering their own. Guests already turn to hosts, not Airbnb, for local recommendations. This is where property managers have the upper hand: they’re the true local experts and can build trust by curating authentic, personalized guest experiences. #airbnb #shorttermrentals #propertymanagers #propertymanagement # #airbnbhost #airbnbnews #airbnbcexperiences #vacationrentalmanagement #vacationrentals #trendingshorts #shortsviral #shortsyoutube #shorts #pricelabs #FrancoisGouelo
How Property Managers Can Outshine Airbnb Experiences
Heather Fillmore, co-founder of @stayluxevacationhomes174 in Utah, explains a key challenge with Airbnb’s firm cancellation policy: opting out only applies to currently active listings. As a property manager, she now has to onboard new owners under a different policy, and that means explaining the changes, managing expectations, and potentially losing consistency across listings. #airbnb #shorttermrentals #propertymanagers #propertymanagement #HeatherFillmore #airbnbhost #airbnbnews #airbnbcancellation #vacationrentalmanagement #vacationrentals #trendingshorts #shortsviral #shortsyoutube #shorts #pricelabs
Airbnb’s Firm Policy Opt-Out Only Covers Active Listings, Not New Ones
Heather Fillmore, co-founder of @stayluxevacationhomes174 in Utah, shared her experience navigating Airbnb’s opt-out process for the firm cancellation policy. After clicking the opt-out link and receiving an on-screen confirmation, she assumed the update had gone through. However, noticing there was no follow-up email or written confirmation, and that the link still appeared active, she decided to double-check. A call to Airbnb support led to multiple transfers over an hour, but she eventually received written confirmation and a case number.
