Introduction

Airbnb is a great way for you to earn extra money, but it can also be a great way to meet new people and make new friends. If you're looking for ways to be a better host on Airbnb, here are some tips:

Embrace the Airbnb experience

Embrace the Airbnb experience.
Be welcoming and make your guests feel at home, even if they're only visiting for a few days.
Provide a clean room, fresh towels and linens, and other amenities like shampoo/conditioner or soap/shampoo bars if you have them on hand (or if you can borrow some from friends who are traveling).
List your property with care: include accurate descriptions of what's inside each room so potential guests know what to expect when booking yours! Don't forget about little things like lighting switches--they'll help keep lights off during sleeping hours without waking up anyone who might be trying to sleep nearby; or maybe put up pictures of past guests on the wall so new arrivals will feel welcome as soon as they arrive!

Always be on time

If you're a host, the last thing you want to do is leave your guests waiting. If they're late, they'll be more likely to write negative reviews and give your property a bad rap on social media or at vacation rental sites. It's also great for business: if someone cancels their reservation at the last minute, it can be hard to get another booking that same night or even next day!

So what should we do? The best thing is just being consistent with your date/time of arrival and check-in/check-out times. If someone arrives at 1pm and says they'll be there at "3pm", then they should show up around 3pm--even if it means staying an extra half hour so everyone else can get inside before dark falls over the mountainside paths outside our townhouse complex (which happens every once in awhile).

Provide a helpful welcome guide

Provide a helpful welcome guide.
Include information on local amenities and attractions, including restaurants, events and transportation options.
Include emergency numbers for the area in case of an emergency or other issues that may arise during your stay (like a plumbing problem).

Be communicative

Communicating with your guests is one of the most important aspects of being an Airbnb host. It's important to let them know when they are going to arrive, how much time they will have in their room, what amenities there are and what not to do on their own. A good way to communicate with your guest before they arrive is by sending them a message via Airbnb or text message beforehand so that there are no surprises when you meet them at the airport. Another thing that I recommend doing is telling them about any problems that might arise during their stay and giving instructions on how best deal with those issues if they come up (for example: "I will be away from home for two weeks while we clean out our basement").

One thing that many hosts forget about is communicating after someone has arrived at their listing and checked into it! This can be very helpful in case something goes wrong during their stay--for example if there's an issue with the toilet (which many people forget about). Reading through all reviews written by previous guests who stayed at this particular place sounds like a good idea too because then you'll know whether any other owners have reported similar problems before--this could save both parties some money down the road since neither party wants another costly repair bill due specifically because something wasn't working properly throughout its entire length; instead just let us know immediately so we can fix things right away!"

Provide a clean room, with fresh towels and linens.

Cleanliness is important.
Fresh towels and linens are important.
Make sure you have enough towels and linens for your guests, as well as yourself. If you're hosting more than one person, make sure that each guest has their own set of clean sheets and towels! Also consider having extra sets available so that if someone arrives late at night or early in the morning (or even just after noon), they'll still have somewhere comfortable to sleep while they wait until a bed becomes available.

If there are pets in your house--and especially if they're small dogs--you should also have plenty of dog beds on hand so that everyone can feel safe while sleeping away from home! And finally: don't forget about yourself too; having enough bath products on hand will help keep things nice-smelling throughout the process!

List your property with care.

List your property with care.

When you list your property on Airbnb, it's important that you take the time to make sure it is as clean and well-maintained as possible. This will help to attract more guests who want a comfortable place to stay while they visit. You can also use this opportunity to make sure that any appliances, furniture or other belongings are in good condition before listing so that potential guests don't have any issues when they arrive at your home.

Make sure everything is up-to-date with safety standards and energy efficiency standards (if applicable).

Don't forget about the little things.

You don't want to be the kind of host who forgets about things like charging guests' phones or providing toiletries, but you do want to be the kind of host who takes care of your guests' needs. Here are some tips for making sure that happens:

Provide a list of local attractions and restaurants in advance so that guests can plan their trips around them. If you're hosting in an apartment building, consider contacting management so they can provide this information as well.
Include emergency numbers on lists and maps (in case anything happens while they're visiting). A phone number is always useful!
Include transportation options like public transit passes, taxis/ridesharing services, rental cars--whatever floats your boat! This ensures that there's something nearby if someone gets lost en route or needs another mode of transportation after their Airbnb experience ends early because something went wrong at home unexpectedly (which could happen).

The best hosts want their guests to feel at home during their stay, so make sure that you understand what kind of hospitality is expected.

The best hosts want their guests to feel at home during their stay, so make sure that you understand what kind of hospitality is expected. It's important to have all the amenities you need for your guests in place before they arrive. If it's possible, be sure to clean up after yourself or hire a cleaning service ahead of time. This will help ensure that your space doesn't look like someone has lived there for months without taking care of themselves or cleaning up after themselves.

Make sure your room is clean and comfortable by having fresh towels and linens on hand when they arrive; don't forget about bedding as well! Also consider making sure there are fresh fruits and snacks available if needed (if they're not already provided by Airbnb), especially if this is an overnight stay--this can really help improve the experience! Make sure there are guides available throughout their stay so they have everything they need right at their fingertips without having anything extra clutter up any space unnecessarily."
