Ways to earn more

Pricing, reviews, and host status — the day-to-day moves that change income.

  1. 1

    Right-size the nightly rate to build velocity

    At $722 it sits well above the Playa Avellanas median ($573) with only 2 reviews. A lower intro rate buys booking velocity and the reviews that justify a premium later.

  2. 2

    Drive the first reviews

    A short intro discount plus a 2-night minimum gets you past the ~10-review mark faster, which helps search ranking.

  3. 3

    Pursue Superhost status

    Superhost lifts placement and conversion. Tighten response time, keep cancellations at zero, and hold a 4.8+ rating across a full assessment window.
