Pro Tips
Lead with Your Best
Place your most impressive photo first. The primary image is the first thing potential guests see and significantly impacts click-through rates.
Channel Requirements
Different channels have different photo requirements. Airbnb recommends at least 20 photos, while Booking.com emphasizes bathroom and bedroom images.
Accurate Representation
Ensure photos accurately represent your property. Misleading images lead to negative reviews and guest dissatisfaction.
