For guests, nothing can mar a stay faster than unexpected maintenance issues. Hotels have long-standing protocols in place to address such issues promptly. By emulating these, Airbnb hosts can ensure a smoother, more enjoyable guest experience.
1. Regular Inspections:
Hotels regularly inspect their premises for any signs of wear and tear or potential issues. As an Airbnb host, it’s important to conduct regular inspections of your property, ideally between guest stays. This will help you identify and fix any minor issues before they become major problems.
2. Prompt Repairs:
When an issue does arise in a hotel, there’s usually a maintenance team ready to address it promptly. While having a dedicated team might not be feasible for an Airbnb host, developing a relationship with local handymen or repair services can ensure that you’re able to address any repair needs quickly.
3. Preventive Maintenance:
Hotels practice preventive maintenance to keep everything in top shape and avoid unexpected breakdowns. For Airbnb hosts, this might mean regular servicing of heating and cooling systems, annual pest control treatments, or regular roof and gutter checks.
4. Clear Communication:
If there is a known issue with the property, hotels communicate this to guests up front and work to resolve it as quickly as possible. Similarly, if there’s an issue that can’t be fixed immediately in your Airbnb, let your guests know as soon as possible. Keep them updated on your progress in addressing the issue.
5. Apologies and Compensation:
Hotels are well-versed in offering apologies or compensation when a guest is inconvenienced. As an Airbnb host, be prepared to do the same. This could range from a simple apology to offering a partial refund, depending on the severity of the issue.
By adopting these hotel standards for maintenance and repairs, Airbnb hosts can work to prevent issues from arising and handle any that do in a professional and timely manner. This can significantly enhance guests’ overall experience and satisfaction with their stay. Stay tuned for the next chapter in our series on applying hotel standards to your Airbnb.
