About Guest & Gander

We want to help you unlock a perspective that could bring more bookings.

Based in Shrewsbury in the UK, our team has spent hundreds of nights in Airbnbs across the world. We're attuned to what makes a listing desirable, and what can subtly yet instantly deflate the chances of getting booked.

Guest & Gander offers independent guest-eye audits for Airbnb hosts. We review listings manually, without AI-generated scoring, and write clearly about what helps, what distracts, and what may be costing you bookings.

Small details can leave guests instantly and totally detached from the idea of staying at a particular property. With an increasing number of options for guests to choose from on the market, competition naturally refines their impulsive expectations. Our aim is to help you rejuvenate the perspective you have on your listing, with a tailored audit that may unlock a pattern of thought which allows you to capture more bookings. From long-stay practicality to short-stay, impulsive appeal, we assess a listing against realistic expectations. An unbiased read from the point of view that matters most: the guest deciding whether to book.

Impartiality

We are not trying to flatter the listing. We are trying to read it honestly.

Taste

Presentation matters. Small choices in imagery, wording, and tone shape trust.

Practicality

We look beyond appearance and consider how the listing supports a real stay.

“There is much to a listing which is tacit. You can paint a picture of a place without expressing it directly. The arrangement of your words and composition of your images can often convey what type of host you are better than their explicit content.”
