Hi, how do I increase the viewing of my listing? It has been slow lately.. Thanks

Lowering price is usually an effective way to spark interest. I see you charge
$ 103 a night. Change that to $ 99 - it sounds a lot cheaper but its only a few dollars. Also - your cleaning fee is very high. You may want to lower that rate too.

You are new to airbnb so it's a little risky to rent a whole house on Instant Booking. You have only one hour to clean a whole house so maybe the cleaning fee of 109€ is because you use several cleaners to save time. I'd expand the window between incoming/outgoing guests and reduce the fees. Also look at small local hotels and other hosts in your area and go cheaper untill you start to get some good reviews. Include photos of the kitchen that guests have access to, the swimming pool and gym. Happy hosting Doris.

People like to get value for their money which your apartment do not offer that. 1. in your area similar listings are charging $45-56 a night you are charging $123, even $99 is over priced. 2. you offer bank beds which is not desirable by most guests.
3. you charge $123 cleaning fee I would never pay that much for cleaning fee unless it is a palace. You need to get off this tree and get more realistic .

I agree - cleaning fee is way high. I didnt even want to pay $ 25 !
