I receive few, if any, rental requests.

Are you not receiving any rental requests?

If you haven't received any requests in a while, several factors can affect the visibility of your listing. Here are our tips to increase your chances of getting new requests 👇

1️⃣ Update your listing regularly

The quality of your listing is essential for a good ranking in search results. The closer your quality score is to 100% , the more your listing will be featured.

Please ensure that all sections of your listing are complete (no exclamation marks). Roomlala sometimes adds new fields: remember to check regularly!

2️⃣ Check that your listing is active

Make sure your listing displays the status “Active” .
To check:
- Go to your personal space .
- Click on the “Hosting Space” tab.
- If the listing appears to be disabled, click the green “Activate” button.

3️⃣ Update your calendar

An up-to-date calendar helps your listing to rise in the results .
To update it:
- Access the edit section of your listing.
- Click on the “Calendar” section.
- Check your dates and then click on “My calendar is up to date” .

4️⃣ Review the rental periods

Avoid imposing overly restrictive minimum or maximum durations (e.g., a minimum of 3 months). This significantly reduces applications.
Many tenants prefer to start with a short stay, then extend it if everything goes well 🙂
And don't forget: you can always refuse a request without being penalized.

5️⃣ Add photos and a video

Make sure you have at least 4 photos and, if possible, a short video of the accommodation or room. This significantly boosts the visibility of your listing.

6️⃣ Determine a fair price

If you're unsure about the price, start by searching on Roomlala to compare rates for nearby accommodations. Then adjust your prices according to the market.

🙌 Roomlala 's tip

For new hosting providers, it's advisable to offer slightly lower-than-market prices initially. This will help you to:
- Get your first satisfied tenant
- Receive a positive review
- Improve the visibility of your listing
- And increase your prices more easily afterwards 🚀
