The big question is, what are the must haves to run a successful Airbnb? During this post we will talk about amenities, location, experience and finally how to get that 5 star review. Well, lets dive into it!
Amenities Must Haves
The amenities you offer are what’s going to entice your guests. They are what makes your property stand out amongst others. Here are the must haves for a successful property.
Outdoor Amenities
You should offer a patio, fire pit or a shared common area for guests to enjoy. Guests want to take advantage of the experience the property has to offer.
Hot Tub Or Pools
Having a pool or a hot tub on the property is a huge advantage. Especially if your located in a warm or cold climates, it will add value to the guests stay.
Full Kitchen
A kitchen with everything the guests needs to host their family and friends is a must. AirBnb is the home away from home, you want your guests to feel this.
Be Unique
The guest is looking for the most unique and beautiful stay. It is important to have a theme and updated space. Your photos need to be taken by a professional to really draw the guest into the full experience they will have when they book your unit.
Location and Experience Must Haves
Location of your property needs to match the experience you want to offer. If you’re located in the mountains, offer a cabin experience with an outdoor fire pit, rustic design and stunning views.
Additional offerings
Offer the guest a guidebook or personal recommendations. As the host, you know the best local experiences to share with the guest.
Photo Opportunities
Photo opportunities are a great way for guests to share your listing with their influence. A place where guests can take photos with great views, a fun mural on the wall, or a scenic outdoor/indoor living space are just a few examples of this tip.
Local Partnerships
Partner with local businesses and offer a discount that the guest can use during their stay. Enhancing the experience you are offering is crucial. Any guest will appreciate the discount and your local partnership will be thankful for the business.
Guest Reviews Must Haves
When guests are browsing properties to book they are looking at photos and reviews. To get that 5 star review it is an absolute must to have 5 star cleaning. Here are a few things to focus on to get those 5 star reviews.
High Quality Bed and Linens
High quality beds and linens are a must. You want to make the guest feel like they are staying at a 5 star resort and they will leave a 5 star review.
Keeping Up With Maintenance
Owning an AirBnb comes with ware and tare of the property. It’s important to keep your unit well maintained. *Magic erasers work for wall marks*
Double Cleaning Process
Doing a double check prior to guest arrival is a must have for us. We trust the cleaners to do a great job but turnovers can happen quickly. Always do a quick walk through of the unit after cleaning to make note of any damages to repair. Completing this prior to all check-ins ensures nothing was missed and the unit is 5 star ready.
