Need Help with Acceptance Rate
Hosts,
I don't use auto booking. My property is large and my primary home. I have an 83% Acceptance rate that I need to improve to 90%. My minimum stay is 6 nights. Property is too large to turn over for weekends. In my area cleaning is expensive. I get inquiries for weekends all of the time. Even though my settings are set for 6 nights. If I get a booking request and let it expire I get dinged by VRBO. So I have responded to the last request for 6 day stay next summer by sending a pre-approval and will let the guest take the action. In the message they wanted to try out the house by booking a long weekend which we don't do. I actually have a long term renter until the end of October which I communicated to the quest. Why do people send booking requests when they just want to "try out the house"? How to I improve my Acceptance rate?
