No, activating Damage Protection is not expected to decrease your revenue. In fact, Guesty has conducted an analysis based on >100,000 reservations to examine this. The results show that activating Damage Protection can have a positive impact on revenue, with an overall net increase in gross booking volume (GBV), primarily due to a significant rise in the average daily rate (ADR) of new reservations coming in after Damage Protection is activated. In addition, our data shows no significant impact on occupancy. This indicates that guests are willing to pay for Damage Protection as it can provide them with peace of mind during their stay.
Yes. In fact, Guesty’s analysis, based on >100,000 reservations, shows that property managers and hosts not only successfully transferred the fees to guests, but also that the increase in average daily rate due to the addition of Damage Protection, exceeded the actual cost of Damage Protection, resulting in an overall net increase in gross booking volume (GBV) and profit. This means that you can charge guests for Damage Protection without negatively affecting your revenue.
Recurring guests value consistency and reliability in their vacation experiences. By implementing Damage Protection, property managers and hosts can provide an added layer of certainty and peace of mind for guests. Guests appreciate the fact that they won’t be surprised by unexpected fees or charges after their stay.
Additionally, guests may prefer to pay for Damage Protection instead of providing a deposit upfront, as this can tie up their funds until after their stay. Additionally, should a guest cause damage during their stay, the Damage Protection claim process is guest-free meaning there is no adverse interaction or back and forth needed with a guest, so they have a better stay overall. By offering Damage Protection for a reservation, property managers and hosts can help build trust and loyalty with their recurring guests, ultimately leading to more repeat bookings and positive reviews.
