Why reviews matter for ranking
3 min read
Search ranking on Flatmates weighs recent review activity heavily. A listing with no reviews in 60 days drops; one with a fresh 5-star climbs.
Ask for the review before they check out
A quick check-out message - 'Hope you enjoyed your stay; a review really helps' - converts twice as well as a post-checkout email.
Don't trade reviews
Asking a guest to 'review me first' or to omit specifics breaches Flatmates policy and tanks trust.
