Impeccable presentation is where it’s at
Staying in an Airbnb feels different to staying in a hotel, and that “home away from home” factor is what guests are looking for. With all the home comforts plus space to stretch out, Airbnbs offer a more relaxing, flexible and authentic experience. But, while guests want to feel “at home”, they won’t appreciate or overlook sloppy presentation. Your Airbnb needs to be warm and welcoming, while hitting hotel standards of presentation and cleanliness. Here are some tips for making your property stand out for the right reasons.
Don’t compromise on quality.
When it comes to amenities like tea and coffee, tissues and shampoo, quality matters. You need to spend money to make money. With your tea and coffee station, cheap supermarket brands don’t cut it, and a half-filled bag of plunger coffee with a peg clamped on top looks sloppy.
At Hassle-Free Accommodations we understand the importance of presentation and quality. We supply beautiful shampoo and soaps, and top-quality tea and coffee. All our Airbnbs have either plunger coffee or a coffee machine. All our sheets and towels are commercial 5* quality from Canterbury Linen, and our beds are always triple sheeted.
Cleanliness is crucial.
If there’s a question around how clean and tidy your property is, it’ll be memorable for the wrong reasons. Clean windows are a must, as is clean carpet. And a spotless oven! As with providing budget tea and coffee, reusing a branded supermarket bag for the kitchen bin isn’t up to par. We always use white bin liners – because these details matter.
At Hassle-Free Accommodations, we have a team of professional cleaners and use commercial cleaning products to make sure the Airbnbs we manage are clean and beautifully presented. If aspects of a home need a deeper clean or spruce up, we take care of it. Before guests arrive, we check all the details – that cups are lined up on shelves, that the blinds are pulled down halfway, that the toilet paper has been correctly folded.
A clutter-free zone
Guests want a space that’s airy, fresh and clean. They don’t want to feel like they are visitors in someone else’s home. In the first place, make sure you declutter your spaces and remove personal items. At Hassle-Free Accommodations, we know that presentation plays a huge role in determining the success of your Airbnb and can help simplify, rearrange and style your spaces to optimise their appeal.
