When it comes to listing your Digs, first impressions matter. The photos in your listing are one of the first things that Guests notice. As such, high-quality, well-lit photographs can make your property stand out from the rest.
Good photos not only highlight the best features of your property but also help create a sense of trust and professionalism. Investing time in capturing some great photos can be the key to maximizing the effectiveness of your listing.

Photo Tips by Victoria Whitlock
From this great article by Victoria Whitlock - The Standard's 'Accidental Landlord/lady'.
- Clear away clutter, no-one wants to look at someone else's mess.
- Make sure rooms are clean and bright, open blinds, sweep back and smooth down curtains, clean the windows (but see note below*), make sure the bathroom sparkles.
- Dress beds, bare mattresses are depressing.
- Focus on the property’s unique selling points and ignore the mundane, zoom in on a fabulous bath, yes, but not a boring sofa.
- In winter, add some colourful pots to the garden to make sure it’s not drab.
- Take a few lifestyle shots, you know, a close up of a cafetiere on the kitchen worktop, flowers on the window sill, that sort of thing.
- Take one or two of the locality, the park, the high street.
- Use a quirky shot as your main photo to make your ad stand out from the zillions of others.
TheatreDigsBooker Photo Requirements
- Upload a picture of the bedroom first - The first image you upload is the image used as your ‘Key Photo’ or ‘Thumbnail’ in the results page and on your main ‘Digs listing’ so it’s worth choosing one you think best represents your accommodation.
- Landscape only - Photos that are landscape in orientation are presented much better than those in portrait
- JPG & PNG - These are the best file types to upload.
- No bigger than 5mb - The site doesn't accept images with a file size larger than 5mb.
