I always ask if they drink wine. If so, I ask if they prefer white or red and then I provide them a gift basket upon their arrival with 2 wine glasses, bottle of wine, wine opener, chocolates, and a Thank you card handwritten and addressed to them. It's the tiny details that shows your guests you care. I also created a journal book specifically for the guests to write in and share their adventures. That has been a game changer. I've learned a few things about my city from it.

IInvesting 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 bought my second house, earn on a monthly basis through passive income, and achieved 3 out of 5 goals. Investing was the wise decision I made.

I must be in the basic plus category and then some. Do you buy fresh toiletry bottles for every rental changeover? If so what do you do with the leftovers? Dollar Tree has a very good selection of travel sized shampoo, soaps etc so I leave a basket of all kinds for people to pick through. We’ve left unopened fresh canisters of coffee in our rental and IT NEVER EVER GETS OPENED. Ever. Doesn’t matter if its grocery store brands like Folgers or Starbucks 😳 what does get used is spray oil and our spices. I bake a mean parmesan herb artisan bread. Perhaps leaving a loaf of that with some butter would go over well. Maybe there are rules against this. I’ll check.

A lot of great tips here, but the extent of the toiletry basket seems a bit excessive. I could understand having those items on standby if the guests ask, but not out as “freebees”. I do the same concerning guest food items left behind-find that most guests have a hard time bringing food with them, but also do not want to throw it away. For arrival I leave a few small peices of chocolate and a bottle of local wine. There are 3 grocery stores within 1/2 mi from the property and door dash readily available, so no one has even noticed there was not a basket full of free snacks.

That's really a bespoke offering (in addition to what you are already supplying). Plus, I like to know what is going on in the vicinity during my stay. These could be cultural events, terrific dining venues, retail shops selling quality crafted items, museums, walking group information etc. Often these suggestions can be listed with an online link.

We too are super hosts. We bnb our 1975 airstream camper. We have most of what you have mentioned. Aside from a first aid kit, I have a box of assorted bandaids, and a bottle of peroxide with a spray nozzle. Also a container of Qtips. The 30 somethings that visit, all comment on they love playing with the cassette player. Most of the assorted cassette came from the free table at the recycle center. #airstreambythestream in ny.

Great video and I love the ideas here. Do you find guests take these baskets home with them or do they tend to leave it for the next guests? How many of each do you get for $75? Sounds great value to me

It’s pretty rare that a guest cleans out the entire basket. Maybe like 1 in 20. If they do it’s not a big deal because the cost to fill it is so cheap. I’ve been surprised my guests aren’t taking the pocket sized hand sanitizer I leave or using all the Lysol wipes. The masks I provide are popular though. 😷

@@patriciamason6707 I use hand wash 🧴 dispenser & I get your point thanks. Things go missing, fresh towels get stolen, kitchen napkins, new frying pans go missing, Nescafé coffee in satchet gets stolen …..and some of these guests still complain about ANYTHING, you would think one is the big daddy government. Utility Bills have gone up …especially electricity but no one cares about the owner of the apartment, Airbnb listens to and support the guests more than the host. It’s not all about the guest…..the Host is a human being too. I have increased my nightly rate to cushion against these shortcomings. It’s either you want a place to stay for the night or you leave it.

Has there been a problem with items that have gone missing. And how do you deal with that. You mentioned that you pay 75 bucks for 6 months of restock for this. Is that refill when needed and replace when taken... or on you welcome note does it say what can be used and what can be taken. I'm new to this so pretty inquisitive. Thank you for the video, very informative!

Hi William, thanks for the question. Guests are free to take the snacks in the Welcome Basket. With the toiletries basket, I make it clear in a note that this is not a "gift" basket and not like hotel freebies.

I provide a lot of items. I think the most important three things you can consider are: 1) Budget--Set a strict budget and make sure you build your offerings into the cost of the unit. 2) Narrative--what is the kind of story you want to tell about your space in the kinds of offerings you set out 3) Practicality--How easy is it to set up and maintain this standard offering? Is it too time consuming? Are the items too perishable? Or are they shelf-stable?

This all makes sense but all depends on what you're charging. In many areas you can't charge more than $60 for a night. Doesn't make sense to supply $8 with toiletries used and another $10 in snacks. That basket of treats is probably $15 in cost.
@AirbnbUncovered

If you watch the whole video, you'll learn that (a) the basket of treats is $5 and (b) the basket of toiletries is not a freebie basket and that the per guests cost is actually quite low.

This all sounds well and good but how do you keep your guests from just taking everything you put out as I’d it was a gift (full sized toiletries, all the amenities in your bathroom basket, all the food items, etc)? I’ve tried this several times with additional items as well as most of the ones you’ve mention (complete first aid kit, various coffee flavorings, etc) and I have had these items all taken completely away and I had to restock every time. I gave up trying since I felt that leaving a note to just use but not take all the stuff would be rude and I can’t increase my rates enough to cover things that are taken. How does a successful host leave these nice things without suffering so many losses?

Hi Beth, Thanks for your comment! I am sorry your guests have been taking all of your amenities. That must be very frustrating. A note placed next to the amenities does not have to be rude, but could be phrased politely. Something along the lines of - "We have provided some commonly used toiletries in case you forgot to bring something. Please note that we are not a hotel and we ask that you only use what you need and leave the rest for other guests." As for food items, some guests may take everything you put out, some may leave items behind. You may want to tailor the number of items to the number of guests and/or the price they paid. Hope that helps! Thanks again.

i feel like if your airbnb listing is lower priced you're going to attract the discount clientele that would take ALL of the "freebies". i honestly wouldn't supply much to guests paying a low nightly rate. this is something you can offer with stays when your nightly rate is mid-tier to premium level
