Why reviews matter for vacation rentals
- You get found on them. Most vacation rentals are discovered through Google and the review sites that matter in your space: your rating and review count decide who clicks.
- They decide who trusts you. A recent, well-handled set of reviews converts browsers into customers; a stale or unanswered one sends them to a competitor.
- They're full of signal. The patterns in your reviews tell you exactly what to fix (if you can see them).
