Why it matters

Your rating decides your occupancy.

Guests filter by rating before they ever read your listing. A steady stream of five-star reviews keeps the bookings coming.

The challenge

  • A small dip pushes you down the results guests see.
  • The window after checkout is the moment to ask, easily missed.
  • Reviews across properties are hard to manage solo.

With ReviewsGauge

  • Automate a review request the moment a guest checks out.
  • Draft warm, on-brand replies in seconds to protect your rating.
  • Manage reviews across every listing from one dashboard.

FAQ

Airbnb & Short-Term Rentals, answered.

Do guest reviews affect my Airbnb search ranking?
Yes. Your rating, review count and recency directly influence how high your listing appears.
Can I manage reviews across Airbnb, Booking.com and more together?
Yes. All your listings and platforms in one inbox.
When are review requests sent to guests?
Automatically at checkout, while the stay is fresh. You set the timing.
Can I reply to a negative guest review?
Yes: draft a warm, professional reply in seconds to protect your rating. It counts: 94% of people have avoided a business after a negative review (BrightLocal, 2024). Nothing is hidden or gated.
What does review management cost for a short-term rental?
There is a free-forever Google plan at $0, and paid plans from $49/month with a 14-day trial. A host with one listing often needs nothing beyond the free plan; multiple properties and extra review sources are where the paid tiers earn their place.
How quickly can a host get going?
Minutes to connect a Google profile, and the first request can go out after the next checkout. The longer decision is usually which platform you want reviews on, not the setup itself.
Can I use this alongside Airbnb's own reviews?
Yes, and they do different jobs. Airbnb reviews live inside Airbnb and drive your ranking there. A Google profile is what someone finds when they search your property by name, which is where direct bookings come from, without a platform commission.
Should I ask guests for a Google review after their stay?
Yes, once the platform's own review window has closed. Asking for both at the same time tends to get you neither. A single short request after checkout, pointing at one place, performs better than a menu of options.
