We've been doing Airbnb for five years and the expense is in replacing towels and linens because people will even bleed on the sheets, if they have a scrape or the kids take chocolate to bed, so I protect my pillows and always clean every sheet, but it's a regular thing. I guess because I have a rule of white sheets and towels I think clients need to see if these things are nasty or clean. I hate to go to a rental and see brown towels or dark sheets that only means they're hiding stains. But it's a lot of work and you can't splurge in giving people all this nice stuff, we give them cleanliness and the necessities, like air/heat fridge stove to have a nice quiet rest and stay, the rest is up to them. But we stopped giving perks like special soaps and things they usually bring their own if they want something expensive we give a decent soap and bathroom tissue that's nice. That's it wifi, Netflix that too. It's expensive guys!!😂
I have been doing airbnb in dubai for a while we hire linen from our cleaning company. We always have fresh clean white linen whenever we have a check in. The also provide an extra set everytime they clean! It has saved as a tone of money.
Thank you for all the amazing ideas! I have one concern, many people have allergies to air fresheners. Twice I have arrived at an Airbnb only to become so sick that we had to flee and find a hotel room. (Not fun at a 12:00 am arrival with children). Fortunately, both of those times the hosts were gracious and gave us a full refund. My grandson has cancer and his oncologist have told us that no one should ever go near those air fresheners. I’m planning to create an allergy free Airbnb and I will advertise that. That’s what I always look for when I’m travelling and there is a shortage of those.

Airbnb is the best way to travel if u have 5-10 people vacationing . You have so much more space, cooking facilities,free parking, a yard & place where u can all sit together. I am always booking Airbnb whenever I travel with a larger group.
Super helpful thank you! We are just about to put a long term rental onto Airbnb she's an old 1930 fully renovated home in Australia and this video is super helpful!
Agreed. I went to a friends BnB. She had labels all over. We keep our rental super simple. If you cant figure out all the switches soon after access, it’s too complicated. Nothing more frustrating than it taking 4 days just to figure out the electrical. I get points for cleanliness, decor and organization. I just started supplying some little snacks for when guests arrive. Cheese and crackers, granola or Cliff bars and mints. I was going to leave a couple pizzas instead but o g, vegetarian, vegan, carnivore….uh just no to that. I put soap in the bathroom, basic first aid supplies (of course white towels) and just scored some clearance organic cotton Tampons which I am going to test the waters with. Many of our guests have 3-4 hour drives so having water(we have a Berkey) and snacks seems logical even if it’s just for the kiddos. The simpler the better!
I leave two sizes of rechargeables and the charger. I also have USB wall charging jacks and a C and USB charger in one of the bedrooms that is part of a 6 outlet electrical surge strip.

is it okay to have cctv in our airbnb place? and do we need to inform the guests that there are cctv.. like in the living room just for security purposes?
Investing in Airbnb properties has been a lucrative venture for me. It's like having your own mini-hotel empire that generates passive income month after month. By carefully selecting the right locations and providing top-notch hospitality, my Airbnb investments have consistently outperformed traditional real estate. I wasn't financially free until my 40s, and I'm still in my 40s. I've got 3 Airbnb's already, earn on a monthly basis through passive income, and achieved 3 out of 5 goals. Investing was the decision I made.
I wholeheartedly recommend Regina Louise Collaro, a distinguished financial advisor based in the US. Her collaboration with an international organization has been pivotal in my financial success. Regina's expert guidance has not only supported me consistently from educational investments to planning for retirement, but it has also played a critical role in significantly enhancing my wealth. Finding the right financial consultant is as vital as choosing the right life partner-both decisions shape your future profoundly. I feel incredibly fortunate to have Regina as my financial consultant, who has truly transformed my financial landscape and helped me thrive financially
This is a shocker seeing Regina Louise Collaro is being mentioned here. I always had mixed feelings about hiring a lnvestment advisor. For the record, I started working with Regina in 2019, and she manages about 70% of my lnvestments, while I manage the other 30%. My philosophy is that I care more about my own money than anyone else, but she made me accept that they have wealth of information on current conditions and future trends
I've wanted to start investing for a while. Yet, I've always considered it to be late, and I believe I should quit putting things off. I'll absolutely contact Regina Louise Collaro to ask her for advice. Much thanks. This was quite helpful to me.
I would be afraid the guest would take big bottle of bathroom supplies. Why not use throw away makeup remover? We have 4 solar sensor lights on patio. We have wifi pin code door lock that you can program the guest with their own pin. Its run from a app.
Where things are getting further and further from the original idea of the french gîte (yes ... the concept is french and dates back from 1946 as my grandmother was one of the conceptors !), i.e. bring or buy your own shampoo and toothbrush as they are personal items ! When renting a holiday house you are not renting a palace suite but a house where you will spend just a few days and where you will find all you need for those few days, not what you think you will need (if need be, you can always buy it yourselves and then get to bring it back home with you)! Too much is too much !!! Furthermore, a sizable amount of guests won't respect their surroundings and won't even take good care of them and leave them in poor conditions or "carelessly" pack what they want in their suitcase! Not all guests, for sure, but it happens more and more especially with AirBnB customers ; this is why in France more and more of the top renting accomodations are leaving that platform to go to new, cheaper and more serious ones ! AirBnB is not a reference anymore !!!
Gone are the days where a host in the United States would just provide a basic bed and kitchen appliances and a basic living room. Americans want more, and if you don’t have it then they will complain. In the United States it’s never too much, it’s always not enough. Americans want to be treated like they’re going to their second homes, is it expensive? Absolutely, but that’s why host make $20,000 a month and sometimes more (not every host just the smart ones). It’s definitely not the same in France
As a super host of a private room (what airbnb originally was for), I make sure there are zero smells (nice or otherwise) as alot of people have sensitivities and allergies. To other hosts, just because one host offers hotel service, does not mean you do. I've been very successful without pandering to "trends" and peer pressure. We cannot all cater for other people's stupidity. Guests - byo self care products , byo umbrellas, byo underwear, byo "wellness" junk... my home is a place e for you to SLEEP in relative comfort only, not linger and make demands on my life. You would NOT demand feminine hygiene products from a hotel... do not do it just because this vocal fry woman says she offers it
Stolen item costs can be recovered through Airbnb's Resolution Center. We photo document each listing before guest arrival and again after if there is damage including linen damage, theft, etc. We're blessed to have great guests overall with only two LED light bulbs stolen, and a few towels permanently stained.
Less trouble but more like a hotel experience instead of a home experience with things like privacy, ability to cook to save money, private hot tubs, etc.. I’d still rather stay in a home over a hotel any day. I’ve never had a bad Airbnb experience. Hotel rooms are restrictive in so many ways.
I clean at a hotel that has Airbnb mixed in. Housekeeper are only given 40-45 min. 7- 8 rooms. I have 2 to three 1 1/2 to 2 hours to clean. See which one has more attention to cleanliness and detail! Opened my eyes!
LMBO 🤣🤣🤣🤣. This lady must charge the hell out of ppl for their stay LOL, with all the non-sense such as furnished chargers 😅. IMy Airbnb's have great reviews and i don't go crazy like these suggestions on this video! Border-line psyco!
add a flashlight and fire extinguisher to your list
Zipped pillow protectors on all pillows. Sippy cups & a few bibs, highchair, a couple bottles, a cozy stuffed animal, baby monitor

I switched to the stain and wrinkle resistant sheets
Agree. Who wants bottles of soap. She is too extra here. Looks like clutter.
Same. Focus on white sheets and towels, super clean. The other stuff just gets you a pat on the back at best.
I have been doing airbnb in dubai for a while we hire linen from our cleaning company. We always have fresh clean white linen whenever we have a check in. The also provide an extra set everytime they clean! It has saved as a tone of money.
Why dont you just bleach them ?
Thanks for putting all these amazing little details into one video! It all adds up to having the best airbnb place for any guest! 💖
What a beautiful house! I love it! Fredericksburg is so cute, too. Your house will bring so much joy and inspiration!
Great tips! I have already implemented most of them. An umbrella is a great idea. I use Dusk Til Dawn exterior lights. No timers necessary.
You put together ideas that complete the hospitality experience. Thank you for putting these together.
Thankyou. Great suggestion 😊
I have been an Airbnb host for 6 years now and about to open up a new space. Thank you for all the great tips to add to my new larger space ❤

Scissors in the kitchen drawer, flashlight...
Super helpful thank you! We are just about to put a long term rental onto Airbnb she's an old 1930 fully renovated home in Australia and this video is super helpful!
Any brand recommendations for charging stations also what was the pot set you used. It wasnt listed on your list
Costco for the pots and pans. I installed two receptacles with USB ports near the bed
That labeling is little over the board i think :-)

Extra batteries for remotes
Put the battery changes on a schedule and never run into a guest discovering the batteries are dead in something
I leave two sizes of rechargeables and the charger. I also have USB wall charging jacks and a C and USB charger in one of the bedrooms that is part of a 6 outlet electrical surge strip.
Your channel is the best! Great tips, very comprehensive.
Do you have tips for people renting out spare room
Great tips! Thank U 4 sharing.
Chargers , they disappear constantly. Buy cheap cheap.
Fortunately Airbnb provides a guidebook now on your listing. So user friendly.
Where is the guidebook on Airbnb?
@@LaurieWellsRogers in your listing under guidebook. It would be nice if they highlighted it

Will you come help me in Waco Texas? Thank you for this video!!!!
awesome vid. cheers!
Good ideas. Thanks
Kim I just going to start my air bnb
Great video. I’d add:
Flashlights
Ziploc bags
Foil
Plastic wrap
Food containers for leftovers
First aid kit
Tampons- lessons the chance of sheet stains
The labeling is crazy! And the blue tape looks terrible.
Just use a lable maker
My guess is those were placeholders for the final label. But I’m not labeling every switch, maybe just the “non-intuitive” ones.
Thank you for Sharing… I was thinking today is AirBNB is dead ? …. I am in the Orlando FL market

is it okay to have cctv in our airbnb place? and do we need to inform the guests that there are cctv.. like in the living room just for security purposes?
Against airbnb rules. You can have it on exterior only, and even then must be disclosed.

love the idea for labels but using blue tape is so tacky...make it look professional people.
I’m sure that was temporary while someone printed out all the individual labels from the machine…. By the looks of it she’s not a blue tape gal
If you look closely, you will see that the blue tape is only holding the permanent nicely printed labels in place for her team to attach.

Really need some help
Just dont overcharge poeple and gove the basic
Correct
Why she is doing the oaris gilton voice. You not teling is the secret of life
You had a great ideas. However, you need a REAL label maker… that blue ripped tape looks awful!
Those are place holders for the person making labels.
Are you deducting for stolen items lol hopefully they won’t
Stolen item costs can be recovered through Airbnb's Resolution Center.

Aesop is pronounced Eee-sop. Otherwise, great video.
That Airbnb is bloody expensive. That's why people stop using Airbnb. When the price is as much as the hotel, I'll go to the hotel. Less trouble.
Less trouble but more like a hotel experience instead of a home experience with things like privacy, ability to cook to save money, private hot tubs, etc.. I’d still rather stay in a home over a hotel any day. I’ve never had a bad Airbnb experience. Hotel rooms are restrictive in so many ways.
