"I hate hosting and wish we'd never started it."

That was the opening line of a Facebook post I read recently from a short-term rental host.

To be honest, it hit me like a ton of bricks.

The post went on to describe demanding guests, damaged property, bad reviews, cleaning frustrations, maintenance issues, and a growing sense of despair.

I felt very sorry for the host because they had openly admitted that hosting wasn't turning out to be what they had hoped it would be.

It made me ask an important question:

As a host, do you actually enjoy hosting?

Hosting isn't just about owning a property.

It's about hospitality and every single thing that entails:
..communicating with guests, solving problems, paying attention to details, handling feedback, and creating guest experiences that people remember for the right reasons.

The most successful hosts don't just have beautiful properties.

They have:

✓ A love of people

✓ Strong communication skills

✓ Attention to detail

✓ Good systems

✓ A problem-solving mindset

✓ A willingness to learn from reviews

✓ A business mindset

Not everyone enjoys those things. And that's okay.

But before you furnish a property, create a listing, and welcome your first guests, it's worth asking yourself one simple question:

❓ Do I really have what it takes to be a 5-star host?

I've explored this topic in my latest article:

📖 Airbnb Hosting: Lessons from the Host Who Hated Hosting (Link in the comments below).

Thinking of renting out your property but not sure where to start?

When I first became a host, I quickly discovered there was much more to running a successful short-term rental business than simply creating an online listing.

From preparing your property and setting the right price to creating memorable guest experiences and earning 5-star reviews, there is a lot to learn.

That's why I wrote *5-Star Hosting Made Simple*.

This practical, step-by-step guide is designed to help new and aspiring hosts avoid costly mistakes, build confidence, and create a short-term rental business that guests love.

Whether you're considering a beach condo, city apartment, country cottage, or vacation home, this book will help you start your hosting journey with confidence.

📖 Available now on Amazon. (Link in the comments)

Have you ever thought about becoming a host? I'd love to hear what type of property you would rent out.

When I first started hosting over seven years ago, the short-term rental industry felt a little bit like the Wild West.

I listed my property, welcomed guests, and got on with running my business. There were very few rules, very little paperwork, and not much government involvement.

Today, that's changing.

Around the world, hosts are seeing new regulations, registration requirements, tourist taxes, and increasing expectations around safety and compliance.

Whether you agree with these changes or not, one thing is clear: the short-term rental industry is growing up.

Personally, I don't think that's all bad news.

As someone who believes strongly in the future of independent hosts, I think professionalism will become an even bigger competitive advantage in the years ahead. The hosts who will thrive will be those who treat hosting as a business, deliver exceptional guest experiences, and adapt to the changing landscape.

The opportunity is still there. The rules of the game are simply changing.

I've shared my thoughts in my latest blog post:

📖 *The Wild West Days of Short-Term Rentals Are Ending. What Comes Next?*

Do you think increasing regulation is helping the industry mature, or making it harder for independent hosts to succeed?

Guest reviews are the currency of your short-term rental business.

They influence trust, visibility, pricing, bookings, and ultimately the success of your property.

But here’s the part many hosts miss:

Guests are not simply reviewing the property itself. They are reviewing the *entire experience*.

✔ your communication
✔ cleanliness
✔ check-in
✔ accuracy of your listing
✔ how welcomed and reassured they felt
✔ whether the experience matched the promise

And the truth is, reviews begin long before checkout.

They begin when guests first see your photos, read your description, receive your messages, and experience all the small details during their stay.

Hospitality lives inside those details.

In my latest blog post, I dive into:
• why reviews matter so much
• what guests are really judging you on
• why Airbnb’s review system creates so much pressure for hosts
• and what hosts should focus on instead of “review coaching”

Because ultimately, guests remember how you made them feel.

And that’s what great reviews are really about.

I recently joined Gil Chan on the Booked Solid Show for a chat about direct bookings, guest experience, branding, and the future of hospitality in the short-term rental industry.

One of the biggest themes we discussed was this:

Understanding the guest is everything.

Many hosts believe direct bookings happen because they build a website. But in reality, direct bookings are built on trust, communication, branding, guest experience, and understanding exactly who your ideal guest is.

One group of Canadian birdwatchers completely changed how we approached hospitality at our property in Panama and reminded me how powerful small guest insights can be.

I’ve expanded on the conversation in a new blog article inspired by the podcast.

Thank you Gil for the invitation and the wonderful conversation.

I recently joined Gil Chan on the Booked Solid Show podcast for a fireside chat about hospitality, direct bookings, branding, AI, and the future of the short-term rental industry.

One of the biggest themes that kept coming up throughout our discussion was this:

Understanding the guest and hospitality is everything.

Over the space of only 2 years, our own property in Panama grew from around 10% direct bookings to approximately 80% direct bookings.

But it didn’t happen simply because we built a website.

Direct bookings are built on something much deeper:
✔ Trust
✔ Branding
✔ Guest experience
✔ Communication
✔ Repeat business
✔ Understanding your ideal guest

One of the most powerful lessons came from a group of Canadian birdwatchers who stayed with us and completely changed how we thought about guest experience and guest intent.

That single conversation led us to add a bird spotting scope, bird books, and tailored guest information to our property. These were small changes that created a far more memorable stay for future guests (especially those with a penchant for bird watching).

Hospitality remains fundamentally human.

And that is still where independent hosts have a real advantage.

I’ve written a new blog post sharing some of the key ideas from the conversation with Gil, including:
• growing direct bookings
• understanding your ideal guest
• building trust online
• creating memorable guest experiences
• and why hospitality still matters so much in an AI-driven world

And as a special gift for listeners and readers, I also shared complimentary access to my HostGenius™ Guest Review Analyzer Tool designed to help hosts uncover valuable insights hidden inside their guest reviews.

Here's the link to my latest blog post: The Short-term Booking Landscape. What's Ahead (and What to do) for your STR Business

08/05/2026

A couple of weeks ago, I was in London at two of the key short-term rental events in Europe. They really got me thinking about where this industry is heading right now:

- AI is accelerating… but hospitality still wins
- Guests are booking later, staying shorter, and thinking harder before they travel
- OTAs are tightening control (and taking a bigger slice)
- Regulation in England is on the way

The landscape is shifting (not perhaps in the direction which was predicted at the beginning of the year!). The hosts who will do well are the ones who adapt.

Not by chasing every new tool or AI trend… but by focusing on what actually drives bookings and 5⭐ reviews:

1. A well-presented property
2. Clear, timely guest communication
3. Thoughtful touches
4. Genuine care for your guests

That part hasn’t changed. And it won’t.

If you’re running a short-term rental, or thinking about starting, this is the moment to step back and look at your business properly.

The opportunities are still there. But the approach needs to be sharper.

I’ve shared the full blog in the comments if you’d like to read more.

As a follow on from the previous post ..... this is very special and a wonderful compliment ❤️

A few years ago, I stayed at Meadow Field Glamping, in the countryside, close to Rugby, in the United Kingdom. Despite not being a “camper”, I was completely won over by the experience.

That’s why I featured Juliane and her Glamping business in my book, 5-Star Hosting Made Simple.

She’s now written her own piece about what 5-star hospitality really feels like, and it’s such a lovely read.

It perfectly captures something I truly believe:
It’s about being thoughtful and caring. That’s what true hospitality is really all about.

So proud to share this, Juliane 🙌

This is Juliane Mold (Meadow Field Glamping). She’s one example of an amazing 5-star host featured in my book, 5-Star Hosting Made Simple.

She travelled all the way from Rugby and trekked an hour across London on a Tube strike day to meet up again at the STAA Ice Breaker event. And she brought her book along for signing.

Juliane is an amazing host, doing things as they should be done.

Thank you Juliane🙌
