It doesn’t happen often, but when a guest overstays their booking, it can throw your entire hosting schedule off.

The key is to stay calm, be professional, and act quickly — start with a polite message, keep communication on the platform, and don’t be afraid to escalate to support if needed. Overstays are rare, but having a plan makes all the difference.

I’ve written a guide that outlines what to do if it happens.

Small tweaks, big impact — if you’re setting up your space for short-term guests, these are easy wins:

🕯️ Add soft lighting.
Lamps make any space feel warmer and more inviting — overhead lights alone don’t cut it.

🛏️ Invest in decent bedding.
It doesn’t need to be expensive — just crisp, clean and well-fitted.

📸 Take better photos.
Photograph in daylight, tidy every surface, and shoot at waist height — it matters more than you think.

You’re not too late to start hosting — and here’s why:

The short-term rental market isn’t oversaturated — it’s just evolving.

Guests are booking in new areas.
They want unique spaces.
And they value thoughtful, local hosts over cookie-cutter listings.

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to get started — this is it.

No need for a second home. No need for perfection.
Just a clean space, a smart setup, and a bit of guidance.
