Frequently Asked Questions

Will offering add-ons make guests feel nickel-and-dimed?

No. When upsells are presented as optional conveniences (not requirements), guests appreciate the choices. Studies show guests expect to pay for premium services at vacation rentals and are willing to do so.

How much can I realistically earn from upsells?

It varies by location and guest type, but property managers typically see 10-15% additional revenue per stay. A $150/night property might gain $15-23 per stay from upsells. This adds up quickly across multiple properties.

How do I set up upsells for my property?

It's simple. In your GuestBuddy dashboard, create upsell offerings with descriptions and pricing. They automatically appear during check-in and in your digital guidebook. No technical setup required.
