More often than not, we only notice the most polished aspects of hotels or Airbnb spaces. These include clean towels, prompt check-in and check-out schedules, and smooth guest handling. However, what we fail to notice is the unlimited number of hours the management teams or guest handling teams put in to make every guest’s stay a hassle-free one.
When you have a vacation property and do not stay on the premises, the services of an Airbnb Management company like MRMVR are indeed highly indispensable.
Starting from answering guest queries 24/7, handling check-ins and check-outs precisely, and arranging periodic property clean-ups, we stay in the background to help guests feel comfortable around the clock.
In this blog, we are going to see what happens behind the doors with respect to Airbnb management. So, stay tuned to reading the blog until its end:
Understanding Miami And Its Changing Weather
Just like any other place, Miami’s weather and seasons also keep changing every now and then. Therefore, you do not find autumn or winter cool with a pile of leaves. A fall in Miami implies shorter days, heavier spells of rain, and a heavy influx of travelers who come here to escape extreme temperatures up north.
Therefore, October finds itself with back-to-back bookings for hotels, villas, or beach house accommodations. We therefore shift our daily routines to keep up. From first check-in to the last check-out, everything has to fall in place and stay in rhythm, no matter how soon the season moves.
Discovering Behind The Scenes of Airbnb Management
Let us now have a rundown of what happens at MRMVR each day. This way, you get a neat and streamlined glimpse of behind-the-scenes here at MRMVR. Helping you get started further on this:
A: Morning: Prepping Up for Departures And Arrivals
Most days at MRMVR start before sunrise. This is because guests tend to check out early from their rooms if they have flights to board or have road trips to catch up on. The morning teams, therefore, have to move fast and think ahead. Let us see how this is being carried out:
- Having The Housekeeping Teams In Sync
We keep a checklist to ensure no minute detail gets missed. From keeping the remote controls inside TV consoles to mopping or deep cleaning scuffed floors, scrubbing the bathrooms, and cleaning the kitchen utensils, the housekeeping teams take care of everything.
- Updating Guests’ Welcome Folders
We then move on to update the welcome folders of guests, tracking last-minute weather changes. We include them as notes with respect to weather changes. We also track changes with respect to parking. Or, include events that take place for the day. We include additional notes with respect to events and availability of parking slots inside welcome folders that we manage for every single client out there.
- What we do before new guests arrive
Even if the room is maintained at the same level as the previous day, we ensure that small changes in every living or dining room are addressed. It can be restocking coffee packs near the pantry area. Or, keep warm drinks near pantry tables. Similarly, if a guest is flagging a negative service even a day before check out, the complaint would be addressed by our guest watch team.
We also stack up extra towels inside guests’ rooms, especially on rainy beach days. The bathrooms are cleaned and kept hotel-ready at all times. This way, we strive to make the existing as well as new guests feel warm and comfortable. Lastly, we restock toiletries during high guest turnover periods.
B- Mid Day: Guest Support And Problem Solving
Here is a line-up of activities that refer to guest support and problem-solving. As most of the guests settle in their rooms, the questions start popping up from our guests. Helping you understand what they are:
- Needing help using the Wi-fi or the smart lock
We respond to Wi-Fi or smart lock-enabled queries at the earliest so that these issues are not later raised as complaints. We provide 24/7 assistance with respect to guest communication. We have our teams troubleshooting around the clock so that critical issues are addressed and handled at the earliest.
- Browsing through feedback patterns
We have our support teams who constantly look at feedback or reviews of guests who have just left. This way, we analyze feedback patterns. If three people in a row have left a review stating that the bed was too soft, we have the housekeeping/ room service teams check the frame. This way, we stay on point and remain honest before the next review pops in.
- Luxury Home Watch Services
Then comes the services of luxury home watch services that are fully equipped to handle other urgent fixes inside properties or stay premises at MRMVR. These include:
- Dripping Sinks
- Stuck drawers or
- Broken blinds
The watch teams also look for other pertinent fixes so that they are looked into before a last-minute catastrophe hits the deck and turns into major customer complaints.
C- Afternoon: Planning Ahead
Let us look at what lies in store for you here:
- Event Management
After lunch, our teams focus on improving bookings and therefore look at what add-ons can be done here. Our event management teams take a sneak peek into upcoming local events and figure out if these events can be integrated into the tour or hotel itineraries or not. This way, guests have something interesting to look forward to.
Although the work is carried out steadily, the event management teams work hard as well. If you look deeper down, in a bustling tourist-friendly location like Miami, one local event can change the fate of bookings.
Say, for instance, if there is an upcoming food event or a downtown Miami art exhibition that is scheduled to take place, then we add them to the calendars so that the weekend bookings fill up sooner. While this happens, we arrange for price adjustments or include early parking tips in our welcome messages.
- Having Chats With Property Owners
We talk to property owners throughout the day. Some of them may want to visit their properties or get tours of the properties. We can arrange comprehensive property tours for them as such. At the same time, some owners may also want to block their properties to bring their family members over for weekend getaways or to help their families enjoy seasonal holidays. We make arrangements for them too.
As we keep checking holiday calendars, we also update our property owners about seasonal blocks. Our property owners also discuss small fixes that need clearing, and we keep these kinds of communications in the loop so that nothing gets left to the last minute.
- Coordinate pricing adjustments using built-in tools.
Using dynamic pricing tools, we make sure prices are adjusted according to the seasonal norms. This way, real-time adjustments for all Miami properties that are handled by us here in MRMVR and we do this to keep our calendars full across seasons, and therefore maximize rental income for our property owners throughout the year.
D: Evening: Final touches and End-Of-The-Day Checks
As the sun sets, we have our teams doing the last-minute touches to ensure guests have their things in order. Let us have a rundown of steps pertaining to the same:
- Checking lights and timers
Our room service teams keep checking if lights are working at all times, especially inside guest-occupied rooms. Timers are also set, especially during short daylight hours.
- A/C Filters and Batteries
If A/C filters were changed or batteries were swapped, our teams double-check on the same and also update the information with respect to the same. In other words, notes are required to be made with respect to A/C filters or battery swapping.
- Checking Inboxes
We clean up inboxes so that no one wakes to unanswered messages.
Say, for instance, if any broken item is not fixed today, the same ticket is raised as a flagged message for tomorrow. This way, the morning teams make sure that this is fixed first thing in the morning.
This way, each task gets its attention as needed. We make sure that our rentals are guest-ready and appealing at all times of the day.
