How others in
PBSA use Bloqq

  • Not able to place enough group bookings and student extensions this summer? Bloqqs fully managed summer programme ensures we maximise your income in empty floors and clusters with short stays - all fully delivered and managed with our team on site.

  • If you’ve not met your occupancy targets for the academic year, Bloqq can manage student friendly short stays around your community. Delivering revenue without impacting the student community negatively

  • If your new site overshoots the start of the academic year, or is delivered with as little as 6 weeks beforehand, short lets are a quick and flexible way to monetise a site so you de-risk operating budgets and cash flow.

Student friendly Short Stays

Hi, we’re Bloqq, a dedicated PBSA service provider. We offer a complete hands-off short-stay solution that helps you maximize revenue and occupancy by filling empty student units, whether during the summer or even term time. We take care of everything from strict guest screening and reservations to physical site management.

While exploring your impressive portfolio, we came across your Lincoln site - an excellent central location with great amenities and a strong selection of unit types. We noticed that two out of seven unit types for the 2024/25 period have already sold out, while others still have availability.

Short-stay lets, especially when requiring no effort on your part, can be an ideal way to fill these gaps, hit revenue during summer period, and even extend into 2025/26. We’re already managing a similar site in Lincoln and have prepared a market report to give you insight into your potential earnings. You’ll find the report below, along with additional useful materials that we’d love to hear your thoughts on.

Best Regards,

Kristina Hogge

Typical questions our now happy customers asked:

Short Stay FAQs

  • At Bloqq we go where guests are already seeking out quality properties. These are Airbnb and Booking.com, and sometime we do also recieve direct bookings too. Our typical guest profile is business travellers or people visiting an area for a number of days.

  • Every building and location is different, at Bloqq we work with you to outline the various options to help you pick the right one for you. Typically the best option is a Bloqq onsite team member to handle check-ins and key exchanges. However there are also key lockers for lobbies too. Ultimately it will come down to the location and the needs of your building.

  • At Bloqq we are proud of our detailed vetting process based on each booking and guest. We deploy best in class automatic guest vetting softwares to help identify potential higher risk guests based on their booking profile and stay history on the resptive platform (Airbnb/Booking.com). Paired with recommened in-person checkins on-site, we can significantly de-risk all bookings this way. Then with in-room decibel monitors, we can proactively engage with guests before they impact others.

  • The common misconception with short stays is that Airbnb/Booking.com only works in locations where people flock to go on holiday.

    But if that was true, there then wouldn’t be any need for hotels and hostels in almost every town and city in the world.

    So in reality, when looking at it from this perspective, all you really need to do is offer a better option than what’s locally available to capture the local demand. Meaning in actual fact the fewer local options there are, the higher your chances of booking success.
