  • Not Fancy—Just Smart: What 2025 Guests Expect from Your Stay

    Not Fancy—Just Smart: What 2025 Guests Expect from Your Stay
    Aug 5 2025
    Guests don’t want fancy. They want frictionless.
    In 2025, personalization isn’t a perk—it’s the baseline. Whether you run a boutique hotel, a remote Airbnb, or a glamping cabin in the woods, your guests expect seamless, thoughtful touches... and they don’t care how many staff you have.In this episode, Kay breaks down:
    – What “smart stays” are doing to personalize without sounding robotic
    – How indie properties are using AI to get more repeat guests (and better reviews)
    – Why automation doesn’t mean losing the human touch—it means saving it
    – One powerful story about a tiny stay that used an AI trip planner to wow even their regulars
    Tech doesn’t replace hospitality. It lets you actually practice it.Next up: We’re pulling back the curtain on rental software.
    That all-in-one solution? Might be quietly sinking your margins.
    Don’t miss it.

    One Blog, Five Uses, Zero Commission
    Aug 5 2025
    Most hosts are stuck in a cycle: waiting on OTAs, tweaking listings, hoping the algorithm shows them some love. But what if your next booking didn’t come from Airbnb—or Vrbo—or some endless scroll?In this episode, Kay Walten breaks down why your vacation rental or boutique stay needs a blog in 2025—and how one simple post can work harder than most hosts realize.You’ll learn:
    • Why blogging still works (and why it’s not just a trend from 2012)
    • What kind of blog posts build trust and get seen by the right guests
    • How one blog can fuel your SEO, social, email, and even future podcasts
    • The real ROI—and how skipping just two OTA commissions can pay for it all

    This isn’t fluff. It’s strategy for small stays who want visibility before guests ever hit the OTAs.And the best part? You don’t need to be a writer—you just need to know your guests.→ Follow Kay on Substack for weekly tips + tools for vacation rentals, small hotels, and indie destinations.
