It's really encouraging when you briefly mention that you lived in apartments for the majority of your marriage. Now, you have this absolutely gorgeous home (from what I can see through videos), it shows that you don't always have to live this "luxurious life" that we see on social media. You are so humble and encourage money saving tips/DIY's. I feel like there are a lot of You tubers here that spend so much for projects and in my head I'm like "Omg, I don't have a budget that big." I love your videos
This is lovely! When I was a teen my aunt would set up her guest room with magazines, snacks and small things I might need. I was so shy I didn't want to ask for anything so it was really nice that someone prepared for that. I appreciated it so much and now it's one of my favourite things to do. Slippers/ fluffy socks are good too. Making someone feel welcomed into the home is so special!
Whenever I'm a guest I usually get thrown a blanket and pillow to sleep on the sofa. lol. I'd love to visit Hotel Rachel! It is very much appreciated by your guests I'm sure!! :)
MissLizHeart I literally just watched your chocolate bark video. I'm not always a fan of these recipes but I loved yours and will making them for gifting! Thanks!
I subscribed because you did this video. It shows what kind of person you are. God bless you for thinking of others. We need more of that in this world. I genuinely wish I was a part of you family.
I remember watching this video the day it came out and I have re-watched it several times since then… It’s so calming. I love all of her videos but this one is just so kind and I can rewatch it all the time lol
I have never found a TH-camr like you your diy's and videos are so helpful I get soooo excited when a video of yours comes out they are so entertaining love you lots Rachel
I didn't realize how thirsty I was until I saw that ice cold water and thought, that looks really good! lol Side note: I should probably drink more water.
I think it is truly beautiful that you do this for people, Rachel, and you have such a kind and generous heart. However, I agree with the point you made about 'reading' your guests before doing this, as not everyone would enjoy this kind of hospitality. I appreciate a few towels left out for me, but that's about all I need and expect. If someone were to make me basket hampers or set up an entire coffee bar, I'd feel quite uncomfortable, in all honesty. When I go to someone's house, I don't want to feel like my stay has forced them to put in lots of effort and money for me, or like I'm imposing. No hate - just sharing my opinion. Love your videos xx
I totally hear you, and I know some people who feel the same way. It's really about gauging who's coming to stay with you and adjusting. For me it's not an inconvenience, I genuinely enjoy doing it. I think if you go to someones house who enjoys doing things like this, you might not feel like a bother because you know it's who they are and it makes them happy to do it. If someone was forcing all of these ideas and it's not natural to them, it might seem a bit off & uncomfortable.=) Either way, I wanted to give a bunch of ideas so it made a full video, but even if one or two of these ideas works (maybe just towels, a charger & the wifi code) then thats what I was going for =) hehe Thanks for watching. =)xo
So perfect! I know people who would think this is so over the top if they were a guest, but I would appreciate this SO much. you are definitely a lovely host!! I'd love to see you do a girls DIY spa day for a group of 3 or something if possible 😘
Yes.. I know a few people who would feel the same way. For those guests I don't go as overboard, as not to make them feel uncomfortable. I think a Spa girls day is a great idea. =) Thanks for watching
I do this as well...another great thing to add are some of the samples we get from Ordering online from places like Sephora or ulta...perfumes, masks, etc. that's nice too! Happy Holidays to you and your family!
This is something I really need to try when my family comes to visit. I always want them to feel like they are at home but also feel relaxed and like they are truly on a vacation! Thank you for such wonderful ideas again!!!
I was once treated by a most gracious friend to this type of experience, and I never forgot it. It's now standard practice for me to prepare baskets of goodies, and make everything super convenient for them, and to leave out food stuffs for the morning, and I even have a notebook for out of town guests that lists literally everything nearby and that we love and personally use, so that they don't have to keep asking or spend time googling forever. Every single person that has come through has been super appreciative. Even if someone thought it too much, I'd rather it too much, then too little. On the reverse, when I go see friends, before I leave, I always leave a nice thank you note for their hospitality and a gift card for dinner and a movie on me.
Wow I would love if someone did this for me! As someone who is more shy and doesn't like to 'bother' people, I would appreciate not having to ask for things like toothpaste, or the wifi password. So thoughtful Rachel!
I really enjoy doing things like this for my guests too. I really feel that it lets them know they are special & important enough for someone to go to all that trouble for them. Lovely video Rachel. I love the coffee mugs and the Christmas tartan rug on the bed for the extra touch.
Rachel!! your videos are my favorite on the entire internet ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I wish you could post everyday
A few months ago my sisters came to stay at my apartment after a long time and i have a guest room for them. I got reminded of a similar video of yours where u had a guest basket in the toilet so I did something similar. I added a vase w flowers, snacks, juices, towels, razor & etc and they absolutely loved it! they were in awe. Thank you for the idea! 😍😍😍
Growing up, my mom always always had those baskets full of goodies and toiletries for guests. She always got compliments and thanks from her guests about them.
This seems so cozy! I love doing things like this too. I feel like even though I would never expect anyone who is hosting me to go to any great lengths, I really do feel so welcome and comfortable when they do little things like this..I always want to be able to make my guests feel that way too :)
My mother in law is the one person I know who is very hospitable and does these types of gestures for her guests. From the very first time we stayed with her and each time after that, it was something she always did and each time it really made me feel special. I try to do it more for my guests too. I'm not the best and I'm sure need improvements here in there, so this video is really helpful!
Rachel's videos are good videos that I actually apply in my life and use as reference for my friends and family. All the best Rachel, lucky guests you have
Lovely ideas and this is so thoughtful, it's nice for guests to get cozy feeling and at the same time feel like they are in a nice hotel! I wish I have a house one day that has a guestroom, it's nice to make people feel appreciated. 😊
I have never seen any youtube videos like you did in this. I really love your thought and how you treat your guests. I love to see more thoughtful videos from you. I absolutely will follow your every videos from now on!! Love from Japan.
This is something that I always do for my guest and they love it so much. They also look forward to it so I am always looking for new things to add and do. Love this video so much.
Other than Colin Cowie, who adds very personalized touches & many more detailed luxury surprises, this is one of my favorite hosting-guest videos. Especially the coffee and cocoa bar! ❤️
Wow!! Love this so much, Rachel! I did some of thing things for a friend of mine who came to visit me and she said she would never forget it! Now I have even more ideas to make my guests feel extra special! :))
Love your videos Rachel. You have so many great ideas about how to spruce up the house and make it more inviting. I put a basket full of different items in by guest bathroom because of one of your other videos. I added a few tampons/pads to mine so my female guests have them available if needed. Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving with your family!
This was such a good video. I feel the same way about making guests feel extra special. Who doesn't want some pampering. Your guests will be very spoiled. Thanks for sharing this.
we'll be moving into a new place in December and will definitely use these ideas. You are one of the TH-camrs who don't complicate things to make them look fake and fancy. I just love the simplicity of your ideas. Thank you so much
What a beautiful person you are. You've given me some good reminders of things I used to do years ago, but have forgotten about + some new ideas to use in the future. Really nicely done and thank you!
I have a feeling I'm going to be doing stuff like this when I have my own house! I love being hospitable to people and making them feel welcome and at home :)
So sweet of you to take such care of your guest. Great ideas, we always have guests at our house , definitely trying out these ideas. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos love them all. Greetings from Naples Florida .
I absolutely loved this! I've had a couple of friends do this fro me when i visited them and i've started doing it as well. It's such a great touch! love your ideas.

Your hospitality is literally amazing.
This video was EVERYTHING. I wish I had a guest room, it is going to be a top priority in my next house!
Umm can I come over?! Lol. the way you prepped reminds me of a nice hotel! You did amazing and I'll definitely use some of your tips!!
This video puts my guest room to shame! I will definitely be using some of these ideas in the near future. Amazing!!
This made me cry. I don't know it's just so sweet. I got emotional! Beautiful job! I can tell you're a Mom! ;)
Xx
fashion chalet Made me cry a bit too. Super sweet. I would feel so special and important if someone fixed up their guest-room this much for me 😍
Linn Lindström Yes so sweet :)
shed a tear too! this is so sweet
Hazel Martinez :)

I think you deserve and award for being such a great host.
I love the little trick of folding a blanket scarf into the duvet just so the color peaks out....well done!
Whenever I'm a guest I usually get thrown a blanket and pillow to sleep on the sofa. lol. I'd love to visit Hotel Rachel! It is very much appreciated by your guests I'm sure!! :)
Absolutely love the in room coffee station idea!!
MissLizHeart I literally just watched your chocolate bark video. I'm not always a fan of these recipes but I loved yours and will making them for gifting! Thanks!

I LOVE that

Carressaxo definitely

You are such an inspiration Rachel!
I think these little gestures make people feel very welcome and loved, that's a really sweet thing :)

You are so thoughtful about every aspect of discomfort a guest may have!! It's so kind of you to do this for them!!!

I love this! I'm 16 and can't wait till I have a home (and husband and kids!) of my own to have guests over and pamper them like this!!
This is something I really need to try when my family comes to visit. I always want them to feel like they are at home but also feel relaxed and like they are truly on a vacation! Thank you for such wonderful ideas again!!!

This video is just what I needed! I'm hosting Thanksgiving for the first time this year and have guests coming in a few days. Thank you!
The guest basket is such a sweet touch! Also, the bow on the towels is so cute!

I'd actually cry if someone did that for me that is so cute 😩💔

Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving with your family!
Yes. I actually noticed during editing that I forgot that, so I added it after.. haha That's definitely a MUST HAVE.
The best video about Hospitality I have seen. Thank you! 💮💝💮💝💮
This is such a wonderful way to treat guests. Thank you for the inspiration!
I love love love your videos and ideas you always help me out thanks 💯🙌🏻👏🏻

I am so inspired to go above and beyond to love people well! Thank you for sharing this
I would feel very welcomed when someone greeted me like that. So many nice ideas!
The little basket for guests is adorable! Such a cute idea!! :)
Love this. Thanks for sharing!
This was such a good video. I feel the same way about making guests feel extra special. Who doesn't want some pampering. Your guests will be very spoiled. Thanks for sharing this.
What a nice things you have done for your guests, they will feel that they are welcome. Thanks for all the tips, I will use them. Great video. 💕
This woman is perfection and goals all at once! How does she not have a million subscribers?
we'll be moving into a new place in December and will definitely use these ideas. You are one of the TH-camrs who don't complicate things to make them look fake and fancy. I just love the simplicity of your ideas. Thank you so much
What a beautiful person you are. You've given me some good reminders of things I used to do years ago, but have forgotten about + some new ideas to use in the future. Really nicely done and thank you!

This is a beautiful idea! Definitely using when family comes into town!

Rachel...you are the most organised person i have every seen....love you.
I love how often you post your videos! I look forward to them throughout the week. You work so hard - good for you! :)
thank you so much
Everything was really beautiful, but it sounded a little formal for the kind of guests I usually have (family)
Being your guest is like being in heaven.
I have a feeling I'm going to be doing stuff like this when I have my own house! I love being hospitable to people and making them feel welcome and at home :)
Wow! Hotel Talbott!! What hospitality 😄.
This is so sweet! Tons of helpful little goodies. Thanks Rachel 👍🏻
Your videos are always so unique! I love how much you care about your channel it means a lot to me as a viewer! Thank you!
Rachel you are a very elegant person,i see it in your makeup,style, house everything you do....loved this video

Love these little festive touches :)
Your videos are so amazing and perfect. You decorate your home like a hotel room....
So sweet of you to take such care of your guest. Great ideas, we always have guests at our house , definitely trying out these ideas. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos love them all. Greetings from Naples Florida .
Love it! Especially the bow around the towels! But why laundry detergent? If they're using your machine, wouldn't they use your detergent too? 🤔
Oh my goodness Rachel! You have blowed my mind with your enthusiastic personality! Keep up the good work!!!!! :)
Omg Oliver is so cute and lovely just like his mom☺️☺️
I’ve looked at other guest room videos, none of them compare to this one❤️❤️❤️
This is so so nice! Wow, I really hope that I can incorporate these things when I'm living in my own apartment. Thank you Rachel!
Lucky guests, you are amazing! How sweet and kind! Such an inspiration :) x
Oh how cute and festive! Watching you always makes me want to go clean my house and buy fresh flowers! You're amazing! You're my favorite!
Love these ideas! I think we all want to be your guest now!
Not even joking, your videos calm my anxiety like a charm. If I ever feel nervous or stressed, I always go straight to your channel! xoxo
