When managing flats to let Cambridge UK tenants and guests are browsing, reviews are more than just a score — they’re your marketing playbook. Every bit of feedback, whether glowing or constructive, gives you insights to enhance your property and your listing.


Spot Trends in Guest Feedback

Pay attention to repeated praise or complaints. If multiple guests highlight your fast WiFi, bright living space, or quiet location, that’s a signal to emphasise those features more in your listing. On the other hand, repeated complaints about heating or unclear check-in instructions need swift resolution.

Common feedback categories include:

  • Cleanliness and hygiene

  • Comfort and mattress quality

  • Ease of check-in

  • Noise levels and privacy

  • Overall value for money

Cambridge renters, especially those booking short term let in Cambridge flats, expect reliability. Reviews help you measure up.


Act on Recurring Issues Immediately

If you spot the same issue appearing in reviews more than once, act fast. Fix that boiler, replace the mattress, clarify your self check-in instructions, or add better curtains. Not only does this reduce negative reviews, but it also improves your chances of repeat bookings.

Use reviews to prioritise spending on the things that actually matter to tenants.


Highlight Positive Mentions in Your Listings

Reviews are also your social proof. If guests consistently love your balcony, mention it in your headline. If you get praise for your communication or the workspace setup, bring that into your description.

Examples:

  • "Guests love the balcony views and peaceful setting."

  • "Great WiFi and work-from-home setup praised by professionals."

  • "Previous tenants appreciated the clean and modern kitchen."


Encourage More Reviews Through Follow-Up

Sometimes guests don’t leave a review simply because they weren’t asked. Use follow-up messages or automated tools to gently request feedback. The best time? 24–48 hours after checkout.

Strategies include:

  • Thank-you messages via Airbnb or booking platforms

  • Email follow-ups with a review link

  • Incentives for returning guests who leave reviews (if platform allows)
