How to increase your Isla Mujeres rentals

Property rentals on Isla Mujeres have become rather flat of late, and no one is quite sure why. It is not however limited to Isla Mujeres home rentals; We are seeing a similar pattern across Europe. There is a lot of uncertainty in the world at the moment, but the one relative bright spot in the world is the US, from where the  majority of Isla Mujeres villa rentals are derived. Not that you would think so if you were read the legacy media you would think the US on the edge of bankruptcy, it isn't, even affordability has been over played by certain politicians.

 The drop off in Isla Mujeres rentals and elsewhere, appears to be part of a cycle that will pass, as they always have in the past. Now it's a matter of what one can do to shore up rentals in the meantime, and not to panic. 

We have found one of the best ways to get consistently good quality Isla Mujeres rentals is by having consistently positive comments on the various platforms, in particular Airbnb, as people trust the Airbnb reviews, they know they can't be manipulated. The key  to achieving this is looking after the guests and dealing with things quickly when they go wrong, and things do nearly always seem to  go wrong when there are guests. Very often it is operator error; guests tend to change the settings on the remote controls, and then phone to say the air conditioning is not working, or there is no hot water because they have confused the cold tap for the hot. Nobody said Isla Mujeres rentals is easy, but that is the rental business and renters can be very demanding. 

There are some guests who, try as you may, you just can't please. However, if you look after them as best you can, they will generally put any negative comments under private comments on Airbnb. One host of an Isla Mujeres property rental responded to a guest's public comment on Airbnb saying, "This guest is talking rubbish." That may well have been the case, but it really didn't help by responding in that manner. If there is a negative comment, it is important that you respond and if you are at fault, admit to it and make a commitment that it will not reoccur in the future. Negative reviews are not a problem, how you respond can be.

  Unfortunately, Isla Mujeres's electricity and water supplies are not consistent; they are regularly cut off. our complaints to the companies fall on deaf ears, because they have no competition. This is something guests will complain about, which is understandable; it can be very frustrating to have no air conditioning and not be able to take a shower. It is important to respond to a negative comment regarding electricity or water and explain that it is out of your hands. Sometimes we make a refund, so we can mention this in response to a negative comment.

 In summary, respond to complaints speedily, make sure they have a contact number, If the complaint is regarding the water and electricity supply, sympathize but explain that it is out of your hands.. People like to see how you respond. Another effective way of increasing enquiries and rentals is to constantly update your listing on Airbnb; changing photos and the wording, this will keep you up high on the listings and be one of the first to be seen . Research has shown that many people, when searching on Google, don't venture past the first three natural listings. The same can be true of Airbnb.
