To ensure that your motorhome stands out from the crowd, you may be wondering how to write the best listing description. Let's break it down for you.
How do I write the best listing description for my motorhome?
Make it friendly, inviting and original
Your listing description is a chance to introduce your motorhome and yourself. Add a personal touch to your description to help a traveller feel welcome, connected and comfortable hiring from you. Introduce yourself, or if you don’t feel comfortable doing that, introduce your motorhome! Speak to the traveller like they're a friend rather than just writing a formal list.
Mention the number of berths and seatbelts
Initially, a traveller will know the number of sleeping places in your motorhome, but details about their location or quality will still be unclear. It makes a huge difference whether those two sleeping spots are a bunk bed or a double bed. Therefore, describe the sleeping places and specify if any are only suitable for children. Also confirm the number of seatbelts available, as this is often a question on a traveller’s mind.
Elaborate on your house rules
When you hire out your motorhome on Goboony, you get to hire out under your own rules. Is your campervan pet or festival-friendly? You decide! ‘No’, of course, means no, but by keeping an open mind you increase your chance of receiving booking requests significantly.
Relaxed house rules do wonders for your bookings. ‘Pet-friendly’ and ‘festival-friendly’ were even the most used filters among searching travellers in 2023. You can always set rules to ‘please inquire’ to review if you’re okay with a traveller's plans before accepting their request.
Mention if you are flexible
It’s important that the pick-up and drop-off times for your bookings fit your schedule, but aim to be flexible if possible. If you mention these times are open for discussion, you’ll automatically accommodate more booking requests. Write something along the lines of: “If you need an alternative pick-up/drop-off time, please let us know, and we will try to accommodate.” This simple sentence shows that the times aren’t set in stone and that you’re willing to help your hirers have a great holiday.
Describe some sights in your area
A traveller likely found your listing through a location-based search, so they roughly know where you’re situated, but it can be helpful to list nearby sights they might enjoy visiting. Mention any popular camping destinations in your vicinity.
Mention anything extra you offer
If you offer any extras, like a bedding or towel set, don't forget to mention it.
