Airbnb is the main daily rental platform in Batumi.
The apartment rating, service quality, photos, reviews, and response speed directly affect the number of bookings and property profitability.

How do you improve the Airbnb listing ranking?
Improving the Airbnb listing rating is a comprehensive, ongoing process.
It starts with:
- professional photo and video shooting

- amenity setup
- competitor analysis
The rating is then maintained through:
- fast guest communication
- prompt message responses
- high service level
- quality cleaning
- property condition monitoring

- maintaining a high listing rating
Each apartment requires an individual approach, so the promotion strategy is always built separately for each property.

Low apartment occupancy is most often caused by:
- weak photos
- poor listing design
- bad equipment
- low rating
- high price
- slow responses to guests
- poor service
- lack of professional property management
Even good apartments in prime locations can lose bookings with poor rental organisation.

Property management and control
How is apartment cleaning organised?
Cleaning is done immediately after guests check out.

Our cleaners regularly work with specific apartments and know well:
- the property equipment
- furniture placement
- features of each apartment
- current property condition
This means any deficiencies or damage are noticed as quickly as possible. After cleaning, the manager receives a photo report, and additional quality checks are regularly carried out.

We regularly check the condition of the apartment, furniture, appliances, and property equipment.
Additionally:

Once a quarter, the property owner receives a detailed video report.

Guests with a low rating may be refused a booking.
For direct check-ins:
- a contract is signed

- tenant identification is carried out
How are conflicts and issues with guests resolved?
Each situation is handled individually.
Thanks to extensive experience in daily rental in Batumi, we quickly resolve disputes and find optimal solutions for both property owners and guests.
Who communicates with guests during rental?
The property manager communicates with guests.
We maintain contact almost around the clock:
