The description of the space offered (e.g. a room with desk, double bed, etc...) with the residence type and location (e.g a 3 bedroom apartment, downtown, etc...) is very important for travellers, and will be an important factor in the attractiveness of your advertisement. You could also consider describing the neighbourhood, the region, and the activities and amenities nearby, such as public transport, etc... If you find that you're lacking inspiration, simply put yourself in the traveller’s shoes: if you were them, what would you like to know about the accommodation before contacting and/or booking? With these tabs you can also add your translated description in several languages, which will increase requests from foreign travellers

If you have several rooms available to at your accommodation, then you should create an advertismement per bedroom. For example: if you created only one advertisement for 3 bedrooms and then another reservation was made on the same advertisement, then the calendar would be blocked and it would be impossible to reserve the 2 other bedrooms for that same period.
If on occassion you want to rent your bedrooms all together and not separately (for example: with a master rooms for parents and second room for children), then you could do this by creating one single advertisement.
In order to know what price to charge for the accommodation on your advertisement(s), we have a really useful tool which allows you evaluate your accommodation and get a good idea of what tarif to charge. You can evaluate your accommodation immediately by clicking HERE. From there, all you need to do is click on the green button, "Evaluate your accommodation".
Be careful, the tarif given on this tool is solely a guide. In order to help you establish your price, we also advise you to have a look at the tarifs used by other hosts located in the same town as you and perhaps suggest a slightly lower tarif in order to quickly receive interest from travellers and to obtain The "World Family" label. This label is attributed to host after 3 positives comments and shows a real sign quality accommodation.
In most countries, income from the rental must be declared by the hosts. Regulations and taxation related to those enforced by the host's country, we strongly encourage you to check with the relevant authorities in your state.
In France tax revenues from rental are to be declared as "business profits" and fall under the "Micro-bic" programme if they do not exceed €32,600/ year. The "Micro-bic" system allows you to benefit from a standard abatement of 50% of declared earnings.
Are there tax exemptions for small furnished rentals?
For rented spaces constituting the tenant's principal residence.
You are exempted from income tax providing that you qualify under the three following conditions:
For spaces rented out to persons who do not delcare them as their main residence.
These two exemptions can be combined.

Laws in a certain number of countries are still a little vague concerning short term let of an inhabitant's appartment or bedroom to rent.
The Mayor of Paris (for example) has stated that "preliminary authorisation is needed for any change of use of an accommodation is needed when making accommodation available for rent for tourists". The law states that authorisation from the Mayor of Paris is needed before making accommodation available for short term(s) rent, that being for a length of less an one year (or 9 months in the case of students) when the proprietor is not living in the accommodation.
This authorisation is not always necessary when the accommodation is considered as the primary residence of the tenant; proprietors who live in their accommodation can therefore rent it out for several weeks of the year with having to demand authorisation. Source: www.paris.fr
WIth laws and regulations being vague for the most part and moreover being different from one country to another, we strongly advise you to get in touch with the local authorities in your town for further details and information.
We are currently working with relevant authorities in order to clarify these regulations to allow the best use of our services to all users.
If you are not the proprietor but have a bedroom free or wish to sublet your accommodation during your holidays, this is possible but only providing there is agreement from the proprietor.
When you become a host and and advertise a single room or accommodation to travellers, it is recommended that you contact your insurance in order to inform them of new activity/ your change of situation, even if it is only temporary or from time to time. As such, your insurer can inform you as to whether your current insurance covers you for example against any damages that could be caused by a travellers, etc. This way you can be fully aware of the precautions needed and conditions taken when hosting travellers and can proceed without any concerns.
In the case of all questions relation to your house insurance, it is your insurer who is most capable of answering your queries and who can best advise you.
