Tips to get the best photos
- Set the scene: For a spacious and inviting look, make sure the space is clean and free of clutter.
- Daylight works best: Open the blinds and turn on the lights to brighten your space.
- Use landscape format: Photos in search results are all displayed in landscape – vertical photos won’t showcase your space as well.
- Upload the right resolution: Use photos that are at least 1024px x 683px. When in doubt, a bigger photo is better.
- Show off unique amenities: Guests love to stay in spaces with character, so call attention to details like a fireplace, artwork or a garden barbecue.
- Highlight accessibility features: Emphasise things that are helpful to guests with limited mobility, such as wide doorways, step-free floors and grab rails. Learn more about which features qualify and the best way to photograph them.
