472. Hosting Hotline: Can You Ask Guests to Book Direct After Their Stay?

1d ago 9:46

MP3•Episode home

In this Hosting Hotline episode, listener Colby from Humble Abode in Australia calls in with a question many hosts are asking: Can you still nudge guests toward booking direct after their stay—even with Airbnb’s updated policies?

Colby has been sending post-stay messages encouraging repeat visits and direct bookings. But with Airbnb tightening its rules, is that strategy still allowed?

We break down:

Why post-stay messages via Airbnb’s platform are now a hard no
What is still okay when it comes to asking for reviews
How to compliantly shift communication off-platform
Why your in-home marketing game matters more than ever
Simple tools and strategies (like StayFi) that keep you compliant and effective
The real reason you shouldn’t try to outsmart Airbnb's AI

Plus, we share smart alternatives to keep your marketing efforts alive—without breaking the rules.
