Since the host is going to show you the house, in case of any delay, it is better to notify them. Keep in mind that you are not staying at the hotel and that someone is waiting for you and act accordingly. As you can see, no one likes to be kept waiting. Of course, you pay the landlord to open your house, but at this point, you have to be sensitive.<\/p>\n<p>When you arrive at the house, the person who greets you will introduce you to the house, show you how things work, and answer if you have a question.

It even offers free professional photo shoots to help you showcase your home at its best.<\/p>\n<h4>Title and Description<\/h4>\n<p>You must first write a title to your record. Think of the title as your first impression. You have to make it 35 characters, engaging and unique. You can try using descriptive and pleasant adjectives to beautify your title. The description section allows you to describe the basic features of your record with 500 or fewer characters. You can make it shine by explaining exactly what makes your home unique. Too much writing can seem daunting, so we recommend not writing too long.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3rd_Step_Reservation_Settings_Calendar_and_Pricing\"><\/span><a name=\"_Toc19637750\"><\/a>3<sup>rd<\/sup> Step: Reservation Settings, Calendar,\u00a0and Pricing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5316 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.05.30.png\" alt=\"Airbnb host Airbnb guest Airbnb listing\" width=\"395\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.05.30.png 798w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.05.30-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.05.30-768x356.png 768w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.05.30-150x70.png 150w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.05.30-350x162.png 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 395px) 100vw, 395px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The last step consists of 3 parts: reservation setting, calendar,\u00a0and the price.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5318 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.11.png\" alt=\"Airbnb host Airbnb notice\" width=\"220\" height=\"105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.11.png 1708w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.11-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.11-768x367.png 768w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.11-1024x489.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.11-150x72.png 150w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.11-350x167.png 350w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.11-1005x480.png 1005w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.25.png\" alt=\"Airbnb guests Airbnb booking Airbnb reservation\" width=\"312\" height=\"103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.25.png 1802w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.25-300x99.png 300w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.25-768x254.png 768w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.25-1024x339.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.25-150x50.png 150w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.25-350x116.png 350w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.25-1451x480.png 1451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5322 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.38.png\" alt=\"Airbnb guests Airbnb booking Airbnb reservation Airbnb stay\" width=\"302\" height=\"114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.38.png 1776w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.38-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.38-768x289.png 768w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.38-1024x385.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.38-150x56.png 150w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.38-350x132.png 350w, https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2019-09-23-at-01.11.38-1276x480.png 1276w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4>Reservation Settings<\/h4>\n<p>In this section, you will examine Airbnb&#8217;s basic Guest Requirements and upload your state-issued ID card to the system.

It&#8217;s important to stay competitive, so if you&#8217;re going to turn off Smart Pricing you should <strong>c<\/strong>ompare the prices of similar Airbnb ads\/announcements in your area. You will then set the minimum, maximum price and the currency you want to charge your guests.<\/p>\n<p>You can tailor your list&#8217;s going rates by creating weekly or monthly packages to encourage longer rentals. In addition, Airbnb also gives you the option to add additional cleaning fees to the price. The final step in the pricing section is to help you attract guests and get initial comments about your registration, you can set a<strong> 20% discount for your first 3 guests<\/strong>, or weekly, monthly discounts for guests booking longer stays.<\/p>\n<h4>The Last Step: Publish Your Airbnb Record<\/h4>\n<p>When you follow all these steps, you\u2019ll be ready to publish your record on Airbnb.

It is legal to rent your home short-term with Airbnb as long as you meet certain legal requirements. When you want to host guests in your home with Airbnb, you don&#8217;t take your guest&#8217;s ID and register, like in a hotel. So, does that mean Airbnb isn&#8217;t legal? Absolutely not. Guests staying at your home make their records via Airbnb and upload their identities to the platform via the system. Airbnb Turkey, on the other hand, makes the necessary legal notices through these records.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Airbnb_Turkey_Tax_Regulations\"><\/span><a name=\"_Toc19637753\"><\/a>Airbnb Turkey Tax Regulations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Airbnb Turkey\u00a0leaves the responsibility of local taxes to its users.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.konaak.com\/blog\/en\/airbnb-hosts-excellent-reviews-in-11-steps\/\">Airbnb Hosts<\/a>\u00a0can only ask for the payment of local taxes when the accommodation is completed. They may receive the amount required for tax by hand or by submitting an additional proposal.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Tax guide for Taxpayers Generating Rental Income published in 2018, those who earn a rental income of 500 TL and above, and for short-term leases, are obliged to make payments through bank and postal administrations regardless of the amount. And those who earn 3900 TL and above rental income, are obliged to declare their income. Airbnb tax rates payable vary depending on the amount of income.

Since it is the ministry\u2019s job to carry out Airbnb tax review, Airbnb doesn\u2019t do it. Because of that, while renting out your apartment on Airbnb, it is important to have foresight on whether you will be subject to tax or not. In Turkey, Airbnb does not take responsibility for taxes, it is your responsibility fully to deal with payment and taxpayers\u2019 operations. Since it is your commitment, Airbnb does not make you pay a tax penalty, however, if you do not commit to your responsibilities, you might be fined by the ministry of finance.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Airbnb_Payment_methods\"><\/span><a name=\"_Toc19637754\"><\/a>Airbnb Payment methods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Airbnb payment methods vary from country to country.
