Are your interior choices quietly costing you 5-star reviews? 👇
Most STR hosts focus on amenities — but it's the design details that guests actually write about. Here are the 3 interior mistakes we see over and over again in underperforming vacation rentals:
✦ Harsh overhead lighting — flattens the room and kills the cozy vibe guests paid a premium for
✦ Cheap fast furniture — breaks under high-traffic use and shows up in reviews before you expect it
✦ Cluttered, unfocused decor — no design story = bad listing photos = lower click-through rates
The properties that consistently earn 5-star design mentions aren't the most expensive ones. They're the most intentional ones.
