Hotel Standards Applied in Airbnb | Chapter 5: Amenities and Comforts

Comfort and convenience are key aspects of a memorable stay for guests. By adopting hotel standards when it comes to amenities, Airbnb hosts can significantly enhance their guest’s experience and satisfaction.

1. Basic Amenities:

Hotels always ensure that basic amenities are provided. These include comfortable bedding, towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, and hairdryers. Similarly, Airbnb hosts should ensure that these basics are well-stocked for guests.

2. Comfortable Furnishings:

Hotels invest in comfortable and well-maintained furniture. As an Airbnb host, it’s equally crucial to ensure that your furnishings, including beds, sofas, and chairs, are comfortable and in good repair.

3. Kitchen Amenities:

One advantage of an Airbnb over a traditional hotel is the availability of a full kitchen. Equip your kitchen with necessary appliances, utensils, and a starter pack of pantry items. Consider including a coffee maker with a supply of coffee and tea for the guest’s convenience.

4. Entertainment:

Hotels typically provide televisions and free Wi-Fi as standard amenities. Airbnb hosts should strive to provide these as well. A variety of board games, books, or local magazines could also be a nice touch.

5. Safety Amenities:

Hotels are equipped with safety amenities such as fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and first-aid kits. Ensure your Airbnb property is equipped with these safety essentials as well.

6. Extra Touches:

Hotels often provide extra touches like room service or a gym. Think about what extras you can provide in your Airbnb. This could be a selection of local snacks, bicycles for guest use, or a guidebook of local attractions.

By adopting these hotel standards for amenities, Airbnb hosts can provide a comfortable and convenient experience for their guests. The key is to think about what you appreciate in a hotel stay and try to provide that same level of comfort and convenience in your Airbnb.
