Tips for your host profile
Host photo
Guests looking to stay at a property feel more comfortable communicating with a host they can see. Here are some tips for choosing the ideal host profile photo:
- Choose a friendly, smiling photo of yourself
- Make sure your eyes are visible and your hair and clothes are nice
- Go for a photo that is bright and clear rather than shadowy
- Photos of landscapes, animals, cartoons, or anything but yourself are not recommended.
Host name
Your first and last name provided in the host profile is used for Agoda’s internal purposes only and will not be visible to customers. The display name is visible on the property’s page. You can either put your nickname or your initials here. We recommend you put your first name or nickname and your last name initial as your display name.
Preferred language
Flaunt your language skills to get more bookings. This may be a selling point for overseas guests who are looking for hosts that can speak their native language.
Host location
Tell your guests which country, state, and city you live in so that they are aware which time zone you are in. Don’t worry, your exact location will be used internally and will not be publicly displayed on your listing.
Host description
The host description is the opportunity to make a good impression with your potential guests by letting them know you more on a personal level. Greet them, tell them who you are, where you are from, or what are your interests. Guests are more likely to book from a host that they can identify or connect with.
