If there's an amenity that you know that guests love, put it down in the comments ⬇

Vitamix

[@ntokozojiyane7051]

Rain coats or umbrella….highly appreciated

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

Great idea!

[@Niggiesquadron]

And then they will be upset you didn't provide rain boots !

[@karenklink]

Fan. So many travelers have told us they are thankful for the fan we provide. Many people like a fan just because of the white noise it provides.

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

Great tip!

I have two bedside lamps on the night stands. They are both controlled by a on/off wall switch. In addition, I put an in-line dimmer on each lamp. They can turn each lamp off and dim to desired brightness. Guests always tell me how much they like these extras. They expect the basics, but the extras is what makes them leave the 5-star review. And while I am at it, dimmers on ALL lights in the condo. Nothing more that I hate is a VRBO with no dimmers! And high quality LED's that are warm color temperature and all the same color temp. Most places ignore this, which give you uneven and uncomfortable lighting. Guests may not notice this feature, but they will know the place looks great. Excellent video with good info too!

Seems like we have a seasoned host right here! Keep up the good hosting!

I usually slide the hangar through the neck not the bottom of the shirt, never had an issue with cloth hangar.

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

I don't want bacon neck

[@MAD-DUKE]

@@OptimizeMyAirbnb lol, I had to google that, never heard that term before.

[@whitneyu182]

I feel opposite about the felt hangers, as a lady most of my tops and dresses have wider necks or tiny straps and the felt hangers are sooo much better to prevent slipping off. Maybe offer both?

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

great point!

[@mistydowling9447]

I agree

[@jenniferkannapel9450]

thx for the video. Flocked hangers. At my home I have them with 0 issues hanging shirts. But I put the hanger through the neck area not try to pull the hanger from bottom of shirt. May give that a try. We have plastic hangers in our STR. Totally agree about keys! We stayed at a place recently with keys and it was so annoying plus felt less secure since I don't know who there previous guests were or what they might do. It is too easy to reproduce anyone's keys. Ridiculous to still have keys. For the digital lock we use a Schlage Encode which is great! 3 years no issues. We can set the timing of every codes use. change the codes from my phone. Every guest gets their own cde. Give a cleaner a timed code too. We do set up 3 *burner* codes for emergency like if wifi goes down at the minute someone needs a new code. thx again!

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

Thanks for the value comment! But putting hangers through the neck gives you bacon neck..

[@jenniferkannapel9450]

Luggage rack even if you have drawers or hanging space. They are not expensive and I always use one when traveling so I have several in my STR.

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

Yes! Good

[@kenchapmanpdx]

Night stand power block with usb and usbc port's .Noise machine

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

I’ll have to use one of those to judge for myself 😂

[@carlatejada2051]

For me, the purpose of the cloth hangers is that the clothes don't slide off of them easily and end up un the floor.

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

Valid, not my preference though

[@mistydowling9447]

This list seems to be curated for male guests and not female. For example: I would not book or rent a house with a shower head like in this picture! Women only like rain showers if you can switch to a normal additional shower head that can be placed lower or one that can move down! It's a nightmare if you have to wet your hair with every shower you take.

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

Great point! Is there other amenity that you think might favor the male guests?

[@carlatejada2051]

I was debating getting a nice blue tooth speaker. Now I will definitely get them. ( I am afraid of them disappearing, though). I will also make the switch to larger shower head.

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

You could install a sound system, that’s not getting lost. Or just get a model that if gets lost it wouldn’t hurt too much

[@thomasquinn6397]

I've converted all my units over to Alexas. They're like iPhones when stolen - they become bricks - thus reducing the risk of being taken. Alexa's offer "multi-room music", "white noise machines", self-adjusting clocks, and hold "Bluetooth" functionality. Cleaners like to walk around homes with continuous tunes too. Guest unplug them if they don't like them

[@teresas.4541]

Bedside lamp pro tip: besides the dimmer, buy ones that have multiple usb-c jacks and 3 prongs.

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

Nice!

[@claudiuvlad]

I think that the induction stove and an electric oven, all these do not heat the house and help the guest experience a lot.

[@hawaiirealmedia5610]

Induction range is a winner. Most guests don't have them in their own homes and are thrilled to use one on vacation. I've had a few guests tell me they are going to buy one after using mine! Totally a 5-star review for that!!

[@KarrieHidderley-pd5tz]

I avoid Induction hobs as they shouldn’t be used by guests with diabetes pumps or heart pacemakers.

[@hawaiirealmedia5610]

@@KarrieHidderley-pd5tz "Fact: There has never been a recorded instance of pacemaker interference with induction cooktops. The American Medical Association has never listed induction cooktops as a risk to those with pacemakers, despite listing many other everyday devices that can interfere. The magnetic wave of an induction stove only extends about an inch off the surface when not covered in a pot or pan."

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

I think that’s a more of a remodelation than easy to install amenities but good idea !

[@MrDemoMan01]

I use the Schlage Encore WiFi deadbolt. Super easy to install, each cleaner, co-host, exterminator, Culigan man, etc has their own specific code, SET BY ME. I get notifications each time the deadbolt is opened, or even touched (has a tamper mode.) In fact, the house is very “air tight” meaning, even when someone opens the BACK door, the pressure moves the front door slightly and I get notifications, essentially having “door monitoring” on BOTH doors, emergency battery backup. I would highly recommended!!! Ps. And I live 1,900 miles away from my air bnb.

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

Oh wow! Will look into that

[@brunetteXer]

some responses as a host: 1) sure, put in a lovely shower head so guests have a lovely 20minute shower....... we actually do have large showerheads, with both handheld and overhead rainfall head, because when we did the reno of our farm we had 5 bathrooms to do, so we bought all the same stuff that we liked, even for the guest spaces. i agree it's not that much more expensive, but it's not essential to have "the biggest". also having an overhead rainfall head ONLY is terrible for people who don't want to wet their hair everyday. 3) flocked hangers are amazing to keep clothes from slipping off, doesn't apply to men's shirts I guess. women however appreciate them. also, not sure why you put the hanger in from the bottom. Plastic hangers are cheap and nasty. we supply both heavier timber hangers and flock hangers 6) scissors, yes of course we have scissors. seems crazy not to. and bottle opener. but actually, yes I have all of those things :) and we also have a simple keypad lock, agree that I don't want a wifi enabled lock, also with our large stone buildings the wifi isn't always reliable (can't get pool robot cleaner to connect). I don't need to change the code often as our listings are on our farm. something I don't have that I really should get: luggage racks.

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

All valid points! Have you considered a wifi booster to solve your connectivity issue?

[@rainbow-go6jn]

Larger sized coffee mugs! White noise machine.

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

Absolutely!

[@2reefs]

I used to travel myself with a white noise machine but now there's apps for it so as long as your phone is plugged in next to the bed, no extra machine needed. I don't know how to effectively communicate this to guests though!

[@bichobrazil6414]

Pura life!

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

A water purification system is definitely a surprise and delight feature

[@keririehle]

Umbrellas, clocks with white noise, check in snacks, sunscreen/bug spray

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

🙌🏻🎯

[@carlatejada2051]

As others have stated: fans and larger coffee mugs

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

Absolutely!

[@abbar1122]

Those shorts fit just right

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

😂😂

[@anniesshenanigans3815]

number one complaint anywhere I go is an uncomfortable BED! Why do people think we like to sleep on firm beds? I am a side sleeper and cannot sleep on a firm bed.

[@OptimizeMyAirbnb]

I feel you, hosts can provide certain pillows to help with that, not ideal though

[@thomasquinn6397]

I buy highly rated 20k-reviewed mattresses. But, personally, I love me...a firm mattress...

[@Beezy_Crypto]

$125 for an amenities checklist. Not happening.
