On Airbnb, it all starts with a glance. A beautiful photo attracts the eye, arouses curiosity and makes you want to know more. Conversely, a dark, poorly framed or unflattering photo can turn off a potential traveler... even if the accommodation is exceptional. At Hello Riviera Stay, we're convinced of it: image is the first key to short-term rental success. Here's why you should never underestimate the power of photos in your Airbnb listing.
Today's Airbnb traveler acts like a consumer in a hurry. He scrolls quickly, compares, browses. What grabs their attention? The first photo, the one displayed as a thumbnail in the results.
It's your showcase. It's your product packaging.
A few figures that speak for themselves:
Ads with professional-quality photos record up to 40 additional % reservations.
A well-illustrated advert can afford a higher price per night, because perceived quality justifies the price.
A clear, bright, well-framed image enables the traveller to project yourself more easily in the experience you're proposing.
In other words: you don't get two chances to make a good first impression.
A good visual tells a story, much more effectively than a long paragraph of description.
Here's what a professional-quality photo can convey at a glance:
The atmosphere warm, contemporary, elegant, exotic...
Layout and lighting wide plan, natural light, fluid circulation.
The equipment Modern kitchen, king-size bed, terrace, air-conditioning, office area.
The experience breakfast in the sun, a glass of rosé on the terrace, a quiet read by the sea.
A series of well-thought-out photos guides the traveller's gaze and makes him want to live the experience you offer.
Forget artificial light or flash photography. Daylight is your best ally for sublimate volumes, colors and textures.
A tidy, clean and carefully staged interior is essential. Avoid visible cables, personal belongings or dishes waiting in the sink.
Put yourself in the shoes of a hotelier.
A coffee mug on the worktop, a bouquet of flowers on the table, a plaid nicely placed on the sofa... These are the little touches that can make a big difference. create an atmosphere and add charm to your ad.
Show each piece from several angles, always giving priority to one shooting from ground level, not too high, not too low. Remember to capture the outdoor spaces, views and surroundings.
