VOLUME
For Airbnb · VRBO · Booking hosts

The tour that wins the booking. Before check-in.

Guests scroll 40 listings before they message one. Walkable 3D is the fastest way to make yours the one they can already picture themselves in. Typically live within the hour; embeds in your Airbnb listing description; costs $99 flat.

Problems

What's broken today.

  • Problem01

    Photos hide the small stuff. Guests punish you for it in reviews.

    The stair. The half-wall. The kitchen-that-looks-open-but-isn't. Static photos gloss what a real walk would surface — and every misread expectation lands as a 4-star instead of a 5.

  • Problem02

    The 360-camera photo booth is dated.

    Guests know a bad 360. Warped ceilings, blurred faces, zero interaction. A walkable splat reads like the actual space because it is the actual space.

  • Problem03

    Reshoots are a full-day tax whenever you rearrange furniture.

    Bought a new couch? Repainted a wall? Photographers charge full-price to re-shoot. VOLUME reruns are $99 or included in Solo — same day, from your phone.

Solution

What VOLUME does about it.

  • With VOLUME01

    Own the pre-booking imagination.

    Buyers who mentally walk your space before they book are the buyers who don't cancel and don't leave 3-star reviews about surprises.

  • With VOLUME02

    One link across every platform.

    Airbnb listing description, Instagram bio, direct-booking site, WhatsApp DMs. Same URL, same walkable tour.

  • With VOLUME03

    Refresh whenever the space changes.

    New couch, new paint, seasonal staging? Ship a new tour the same day. Solo tier includes 5 tours a month.

How it stacks

Same listing. Four different pitches to the buyer.

Every current option asks the seller to compromise on one of cost, speed, or walkability. This is the row-by-row comparison, with the trade-offs left in.

Comparison based on public list prices at time of writing. Matterport and 360-camera setups still have real strengths for some verticals — the point is to pick right per listing, not to pretend they don't exist.

FAQ · Short-term rental hosts

Questions people ask first.

  • Will Airbnb accept the URL in the listing description?
    Yes. Airbnb allows external URLs in the description field. Guests tap through in the browser; the tour opens mobile-first, no app.
  • What about outdoor spaces — decks, pools, gardens?
    MakeSplat reconstructs outdoor spaces cleanly in daylight. Film the deck as part of the same walk. Direct sunlight and moving water reduce quality; overcast is the sweet spot for exteriors.
  • Can I show multiple properties on one page?
    Yes — /a/{your-handle} lists every live tour under your workspace. Set your handle in Settings → Brand.

Everything you can film should be walkable.

One phone video in. A space buyers can walk, in any browser. First tour free.
