OTA listing photos that make guests stop rolling

The photo is the first reason the guest opened your listing. It's a practical guide referring to the OTA recommendation.

Expedia calls properties with quality photos, either gets increased conversion rather than properties with bad photos. Here's a manual that can be applied directly.

# # Number and size

  • Prepare at least 20 photos for the property.
  • At least four photos for any type of room.
  • Use the high resolution to stay sharp on the big screen.

# # The most important photo

  • Room with a view of a window or balcony, if anything.
  • Room from the widest corner with a neat bed.
  • The bathroom is clean and bright.
  • Supply areas like terrace, restaurant, pool, or lobby.
  • A close-up mix of photos and a full room.

# # That need to be avoided

  • Fisheye lenses and weird angles. Guests can suspect there's something to hide.
  • Dark photos. Take a picture in the daytime with a natural light.
Sort photos of the most convincing. The first photo determines whether the guest is listing you.
