Strategy to get more reviews during off season

I’m getting them but it’s too slow. My high season stays are longer so I don’t accumulate as many. I want to double them so that no rogue guest will have the power to threaten me with a bad review.

I’m inspired by @KKC’s idea in another thread.

I can also monetize reviews. I was able to charge much higher rates this Christmas because I had more reviews. So it’s an investment.

Based on two recent data points, yes. An event got canceled so I rented those dates at a low rate. I got a glowing review out of it. So I want to scale it and get a dozen more reviews, then use that to increase my high season rates.

Listings with high ratings show up on top even at higher rates. I have done that experiment. I raised my rate above the competition but I was still on top since I had 8x 5* reviews in that listing.
