Low-cost extras to delight your Airbnb guests

Have you ever thought about different gift ideas to welcome your Airbnb guests? The good news is that you don’t need to spend much to make a great impression. Here are a few tips.

 

You Can Never Go Wrong With Wine

 

Once you confirm that the guests staying at your vacation rental are not minors, one of the first gift ideas that comes to mind is wine. Universally, you can never go wrong with wine — everyone enjoys a good bottle, and the fact that it pairs well with many moments during a stay makes it a versatile choice. It’s best to shop for a quality bottle and have it wrapped in advance.

 

What Might They Have Forgotten to Bring?

 

It’s quite common for vacation rental guests to forget basic items: toothpaste, toothbrush, body soap, shampoo, conditioner, or a disposable razor. You can help your guests by providing these essentials, and they’ll be grateful for it. You don’t need to spend a fortune to offer these items either.

 

A Card or a Simple Gesture

 

You can choose to leave a handwritten welcome card for your guests, or place a small chalkboard at the entrance with a personalized message. Ask your cleaning team to update the name on the board before each arrival.

 

To do this, create a dedicated housekeeping account in your property management system so they can see the names of upcoming visitors. This way, guests will feel that special attention was given to them. If you’re crafty, you can even fold towels into shapes on the bed to celebrate special occasions. Handcrafted touches are always appreciated!

 

Depending on the type of Airbnb you have, you can also include a notebook in your short-term rental where guests can write where they come from and share a small story about themselves. After a dozen entries, guests find it fun to read, and they will likely remember you the next time they travel!

 

Chocolate and Candy

 

Everyone loves chocolate and candy, and the whole family can enjoy them. For example, chocolates from Ikea can be bought at low cost, in large quantities, and they store well. When you think about it, when renting your short-term rental, you and your guest start on equal footing since they exchanged money to receive the product you advertised. So, every gesture on your part is greatly appreciated!

 

Your guests will appreciate the gifts, and you don’t need to break the bank to make your Airbnb visitors feel welcome.
