How to be the Airbnb Host with the Most

Airbnb has revolutionized the travel industry, making it easier for travelers to find affordable and unique accommodations. With so many options available, it’s important to stand out. Be the “Host with the Most” to attract more guests and gain more bookings!

Read on to learn ways you can up your hosting game. 

Be Responsive and Communicative

One of the most important things you can do as an Airbnb host is to be responsive and communicative with your guests. Don’t be a ghost, be a host

Respond to messages and inquiries promptly, and be available to answer any questions they may have before, during, and after their stay. Did you know? Airbnb considers your response time to guest inquiries when considering your Super Host status. Clear and frequent communication builds trust and helps guests feel more comfortable during their stay.

Cleanliness is Key

The biggest thing guests look for when booking an Airbnb is cleanliness

We know, for Airbnb hosts, there are several other day-to-day tasks that are equally time-consuming and important. Consider hiring a cleaning service to ensure your space is always in top-notch condition. Keepers can not only provide your cleaning services but we automate the entire housekeeping management process so you never have to worry about it again! 

It’s also a good idea to provide cleaning supplies for guests to use during their stay. Provide things like coffee or extra toiletries that people may have forgotten. This brings us to our next suggestion. 

Provide Thoughtful Touches

Really WOW your guests by providing those thoughtful touches that make them feel special. Consider leaving a welcome note, providing a small gift, or stocking the fridge with snacks and drinks. Little touches like these can go a long way in making your guests feel appreciated and valued.

A great way to enhance their experience is to ask them if they are celebrating anything special during their stay. With their response, you can customize a gift basket to welcome them. For example, if they are celebrating an anniversary provide mini champagne bottles or wine and chocolates. 

Be Flexible

Be willing to accommodate guest requests whenever possible, whether it’s a late check-out or an extra blanket. To do this, however, you’ll need to keep all your bookings organized so you can easily and quickly accommodate guests. Utilize a platform such as Hostaway to track and manage all your bookings. 

This will help ensure that your guests have a positive experience and may lead to positive reviews and repeat bookings.

To sum it up, being the Airbnb host with the most requires going the extra mile to make your guests feel at home. By being responsive, communicative, flexible, and thoughtful, while also making sure to prioritize their safety and respect their privacy, you can earn a reputation as one of the best hosts out there. So, if you want to become a superstar host and have guests raving about their stay, start putting these tips into action ASAP!
