Virtual tours are really starting to come into the arena of Airbnb and holiday rentals. A virtual your helps to go above and beyond for your customers creating that WOW factor for your Airbnb property.
However there are a few tips and tricks that are required to navigate around some of the limitations with Airbnb.
First off, Airbnb will not allow you to load your 3D/Virtual Tour in the gallery space of your property, which is different to using a similar realestate.com platform.
However, we can navigate around these issues very easily!
QR Codes and Tiny URL! Are our best friends to getting that Virtual Tour into your Airbnb profile.
At my 3D home as part of your Airbnb Tour package we will provide two add keys to unlock your full potential with your holiday rental using Airbnb.
Step 1: QR Code in your gallery of photos
First off we will provide you a QR code. This QR code needs to be uploaded to your Airbnb gallery, witht eh QR code must be the SECOND or THIRD photo in the tour.
Step 2: Create a Shorter URL link
The Link we provide to a tour is often quite long, so to save space and make your Airbnb space more professional, we will cut the overall size of the virtual tour to look like this:
Original link: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=3pEF61EnjYD
Reduced size new link: https://tinyurl.com/zw7x7mmd (it looks so much better doesn’t it?)
Ideally be great too to have a simple website where you can embed a 3D/Virtual tour into the site! We can also help create a shorter URL for you to link you own webpage to the Airbnb description.
Final Product
The final product should look something similar to this:
The Red Boxes indicating the two key areas where your virtual tour needs to live, using the QR Code in the image gallery and the URL link at the top of your description.
