Each villa has a quality score, which determines the
ordering of Cretico’s search results. In order to calculate the score, we take
many factors into account and we are constantly working on improving these
results. So,the way the factors are used may be changed over time. We will be
updating this article periodically in order to keep you informed.
As an owner you have the direct (e.g. updated calendar) or indirect (e.g. good
reviews) control of all the factors.
The easiest thing you can do is to create an appealing listing:
-
Be sure that you have filled in as many listing data as
possible. By filling in
all the fields, you will be given extra bonus.
-
Upload high quality photos at least 1050 x 700 pixels. The quantity is also really
important, so be sure you have uploaded photos from every space of the interior and exterior of the villa.
Note: Be sure you have given a descriptive title to your villa and all the
necessary details for your guest’s accommodation.
Be a responsible host:
-
Keep your calendar informed. The best way is to synchronize your Cretico calendar with an
already updated one. This will help you not only to improve your performance's rate but also to prevent you from receiving inquires which will be rejected.
-
Acceptance
rate is also another factor. Frequent pre-approving and accepting bookings
improve your quality score.
-
Always respond to your potential guests. Responding to your guests even with a simple message is better than
nothing.
-
Responding
time is also important. Respond them as soon as possible and don’t let them
wait.
Note: Make as many reservations as possible through our site, as successful reservations are an important factor; however, you must always be careful before you accept a booking.
Cancellation upon a guest is really unpleasant and it will count negatively for your ranking results.
Be a good host:
-
Make sure you are an understanding host so
choose the most flexible cancellation policy, so as to get a better quality score.
-
Provide your guests with the best experience.
Good reviews from past guests will
help you easily climb up the ranking list.
Build trust with your guests:
-
Verify
your account. The more verifications, the more reliable your profile will be.
(Verify your phone, Facebook, e.t.c.)
Note: Upload a real one photo profile and fill in the field: "Describe yourself" in your account.
