Airbnb is a platform that allows homeowners to rent their properties out to travelers. Airbnb’s platform provides a rating system, where guests are able to leave feedback and provide information about the hosts whose properties they have stayed in.
If you want to become a successful Airbnb host, then you need to accumulate as many positive reviews as you possibly can. The fewer positive reviews you get, the less likely people will be to stay with you.
This post will tell you how you can become a great host so that you can begin getting good reviews.
Personalized Cards
A very good way of welcoming guests into your property is to leave personalized cards around the house, telling them where things are, and where things go. Personalized cards might seem like a small and insignificant touch, but they can lead to you getting Airbnb super host status because guests love things like that. In addition to leaving instructional cards around the property, you should also leave a handwritten card welcoming the guests into your property, addressing them by name. A handwritten card welcoming them in is a guaranteed way to impress them.
Maintain Cleanliness
One of the most important things to ensure before you open your property up to Airbnb guests is that it’s clean. A lot of Airbnb hosts let themselves down by renting out unclean properties. The best way to ensure that your house is clean is to hire a professional cleaning service to come in and do it for you. Unless you have a lot of time and are an expert cleaner, there is no way that you are going to be able to effectively clean your entire property (unless it’s just a single room or very small).
Anticipate Needs
If it is possible for you to do so, try to anticipate the needs of your guests. It can be very hard to anticipate people’s needs since everybody is different, but there are a few easy ways of setting your property up for your guests. By far the easiest of these is to include toiletries and other extras that are organic, vegan products. By offering people organic and vegan products you will be able to cater to every single diet or lifestyle. Meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans alike can all (and regularly do) consume vegan products because they are suitable for everyone.
Additional Extras
In addition to anticipating your guests’ needs and offering toiletries, you may also want to consider leaving them things like alcohol, and even dinner. One good way of ensuring that you cater to your guests’ needs is to ask them to tell you about themselves when they are signing up to stay with you. You can get them to include information about their diet, whether or not they drink, and if they have any favorite foods or snacks. You can then use the information that they have provided you to ensure that they have everything they could ever possibly need.
Becoming a ‘super host’ on Airbnb can lead to you getting more guests. The more guests you get, the more money you make. However, achieving super host status isn’t easy. You need to do all of the things listed here and more. Make sure that you are always honest, straightforward, and nice to your guests, in addition to offering them a clean and presentable house.
