An extended stay refers to a long-term booking, typically lasting weeks or months, as opposed to typical short-term stays of a few days.
Offering extended stays can attract a different market of guests, such as business travelers or people relocating, and can provide steady income and lower turnover costs for hosts.
MadeComfy can manage all aspects of extended stays, including pricing strategy, guest communication, and property maintenance. We can also advise on the suitability of your property for extended stays.
Consider factors such as the suitability of your property for long-term living, the impact on your availability for short-term bookings, and the potential need for additional services like regular cleaning or maintenance.
Offering extended stays can increase your occupancy rate and provide steady income, as long-term bookings fill more calendar days and often have lower turnover costs. However, it may also limit your availability for higher-priced short-term bookings.
Handling issues or disputes related to extended stays effectively is crucial for maintaining a good relationship with long-term guests. This includes responding promptly to issues, resolving them efficiently, and communicating clearly with guests. MadeComfy's services include handling guest issues and complaints.
