Rather than guessing what your property might earn, why not get actual projections based on your actual property? We will use our own data in combination with market analysis tools to provide you with detailed estimates for revenue & costs.
Creating an unforgettable guest experience is crucial for any serviced accommodation or Airbnb host. To ensure your property stands out and garners rave reviews, it’s essential to equip it with key items that cater to the comfort, convenience, and enjoyment of your guests. Here are ten must-have items that will elevate your property and enhance the guest experience.
First and foremost, high-quality bedding and linens are fundamental to guest satisfaction. Investing in comfortable mattresses, plush pillows, and high-thread-count sheets can make a significant difference in how well your guests sleep and, consequently, their overall impression of your accommodation. Ensure all bedding is hypoallergenic and meticulously cleaned to provide a fresh and inviting atmosphere.
A fully equipped kitchen is another critical component. Guests appreciate the ability to prepare their own meals, so a well-stocked kitchen is a major plus. Include essentials such as pots, pans, utensils, a coffee maker, toaster, microwave, and dishwasher. Don’t forget to provide basic condiments, cooking oil, salt, pepper, and a selection of coffee and tea supplies. This not only enhances the guest experience but also shows thoughtful attention to detail.
In today’s digital age, reliable Wi-Fi and tech amenities are non-negotiable. High-speed internet is crucial for both leisure and business traveler’s.Â
A comprehensive guest guide is essential for ensuring your guests can enjoy their time in the accommodation, without having to continuously contact the host for help & guidance. Include things like local information, emergency contacts, house rules, and appliance instructions and more. You can provide this in an in-house folder or you can do as we do and provide these virtually.

Let an expert take care of your property
If you’re looking to maximise your occupancy, without putting in the extra work, consider using a specialist airbnb management company. Here at Truestays, we fill our partners’ calendars with highly valuable, long-term stays.
Ensuring the safety of your guests is paramount. Equip the property with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a first-aid kit, fire escape plan, fire extinguisher/blanket, emergency lighting, and secure locks on doors and windows. Clearly label emergency exits and provide instructions on what to do in case of an emergency. This not only protects your guests but is also now compulsory for some accommodation types.
Guests on the whole expect some basic items. Things like hand soaps, washing up liquids and consumables like tea, coffee, sugar, milk. By not providing these, many guests will likely be disappointed. For the consumables, we recommend using sachets for hygiene.
Comfortable and functional furniture is essential for creating a cozy and inviting environment. Provide comfortable seating, a sturdy dining table, and a functional workspace. Ensure all furniture is clean, in good condition, and matches the overall aesthetic of the property. Thoughtful furniture choices can make your accommodation feel like a true home away from home.
Maintaining a peaceful environment is crucial, especially in shared spaces or urban areas. Install a sound monitoring device like Minut to ensure that noise levels are kept within acceptable limits. This helps prevent disturbances and maintain good relationships with neighbours. Make sure guests are aware of the device’s presence and its purpose to avoid any misunderstandings.
Laundry facilities are a major convenience, particularly for longer stays. Include a washer and dryer, along with detergent and fabric softener. Providing an iron and ironing board is also a useful addition. Guests will appreciate the ability to do their laundry on-site, making their stay more comfortable and convenient.
Smart TVs equipped with access to popular streaming services can significantly enhance your guests’ entertainment options. Ensure that the TVs are easy to use and provide clear instructions on how to access and navigate the available services. This allows guests to unwind and enjoy their favorite shows and movies during their stay.
By equipping your serviced accommodation or Airbnb with these essential items, you can enhance the guest experience, encourage positive reviews, and increase repeat bookings. Paying attention to these details demonstrates your commitment to providing a top-notch stay and sets your property apart in a competitive market.
