It is always good to travel and feel at home. As hosts, we should try to give that feeling to everyone who stays with us. Besides the basics for a quiet, problem-free stay, a few extras make guests happy. And happy guests leave good feedback, reviews and positive comments.
In this article, we share some simple tips to improve your guests’ stay and your holiday rental.
Prepare a welcome kit
We all like to be spoiled. In a foreign country, a gesture like this also helps guests feel part of the local culture. Each host prepares the kit in their own way. Usually, it has local products, because choosing what is ours always matters. Leave some samples of the Azores: liqueurs, tea, typical sweets or other products your guests will appreciate.
Invest in pleasant decoration
Decoration doesn’t always mean comfort. However, it creates a good first impression at check-in and in the photos on Booking or Airbnb.
How can someone who has never visited your property decide to book it? With a well-decorated, pleasant space and good photos.
Provide comfortable bedrooms
A good night’s sleep is essential for a good day. And it depends largely on the bedroom. Uncomfortable beds and bedding quickly lead to complaints and negative reviews. So investing in a good bed and a quality mattress is key.
Keep the right temperature
In the Azores we often have four seasons in one day, so good temperature control is another point in your favour. Offer a cool, well-ventilated house in summer and a warm, cosy house in winter. Today, air conditioning, heaters and good insulation are not extras. They are essential.
Offer your guests the same comfort you want in your own home. Only a good space in good condition brings the success you are looking for.
