Listing photos that earn the booking: a guesthouse checklist

Guests decide on a listing page in seconds. Here is what a complete set of photos shows, and how to get it delivered for every platform.

For most guesthouses, the first place a guest sees you is a booking site. A complete set of photos answers their questions before they ask them.

Show the whole stay

  • Every room, from the doorway and from the bed.
  • Reception and common areas.
  • Breakfast and any food you are known for.
  • The exterior in daylight, and at twilight when the lights come on.

Show the island, not only the room

Guests book a place, not only a bed. Add the beach, the harbour and the excursions you offer, and feature the dive or watersports partners you work with. Use aerial photos only where the island permits them.

Deliver for every platform

One set of photos should work everywhere. Ask for crops for social feeds and stories, and a short walkthrough reel for your own channels.

Plan the turnaround

A standard listing set can be delivered within about a week of the shoot. If you need it faster for a peak season, ask about rush delivery before you book.

Starting out?

A listing shoot is the quickest way to improve your pages. Monthly content keeps them fresh.
