Holiday-Ready Airbnb Tips for a Memorable Guest Experience
The holiday season is just around the corner, and that means vacation rentals are about to get super busy! Now’s the perfect moment to tweak your property listing a bit. Before you dive into decorating with tinsel and festive lights, take a moment to brainstorm how you can boost your bookings and make your Airbnb the go-to spot for travelers this holiday season!
Peak Season Pricing Alert!
During the Christmas and New Year holidays, hotels and resorts often skyrocket their prices because families are traveling far and wide to celebrate together. If you’re in the hospitality game, it’s smart to raise your rates too! If you’re aware that there’s a shortage of places to stay in your area during this festive season, don’t hesitate to set your prices higher to take advantage of the demand. Just be sure to check out what other Airbnbs in your neighborhood are charging so you can keep your rates competitive! 💰✨
Revamp your title and description
Do you live super close to a Christmas market?
Does your apartment have killer views of the New Year’s Eve fireworks?
Is your Airbnb just a hop away from a grocery store that’s open all night during the holidays while other places shut down?
These are all awesome features you can highlight in your listing title or description to grab the attention of potential guests.
On the flip side, maybe your Airbnb is nestled in a quiet spot, far from the holiday shopping frenzy and chaos.
If you think people would love to chill out and escape the holiday craziness at your place, don’t forget to shout it out!

Get festive!
Depending on where your Airbnb is and if Christmas is celebrated nearby, adding some fun touches can really make your guests feel the holiday spirit.
If you’re aiming for families, think about putting up a Christmas tree for them to decorate before the big day (don’t forget to mention this in your listing!). If that’s not possible, at least provide a little guide on where they can buy one.
Of course, tailor this to fit your Airbnb’s vibe and the type of guests you want. If you’re targeting business travelers with a sleek, minimalist studio, it’s probably best to skip the over-the-top red and green decorations!
Festive decoration tips for Christmas
– Hang a beautiful wreath on your front door
– Use Christmas-themed napkins for your table setting
– Add some twinkly fairy lights to brighten up the space
– Decorate pine cones with silver or gold paint and hang them with red ribbons
– Create a cheerful table centerpiece, like a small tree or a sparkly star
– Don’t forget to hang stockings over the fireplace or along the staircase!
