Hosting an Airbnb can be exciting and profitable, but to truly succeed, you need to be organised, prepared, and guest-focused. Whether you're a new host or looking to improve your listing, this checklist will help ensure your Airbnb runs smoothly and keeps guests coming back!
Before Listing Your Airbnb
✔ Create an Attractive Listing – Use high-quality photos, a detailed description, and a catchy title.
✔ Set Competitive Pricing – Research similar listings and use dynamic pricing tools to adjust rates.
✔ Stock Up on Essentials – Provide fresh linens, toiletries, kitchen basics, and extra towels.
✔ Install Lockbox – Make check-ins seamless with a lockbox.
✔ Get the Right Insurance – Protect your property with Airbnb’s Host Guarantee or additional coverage.
Preparing for Guests
✔ Deep Clean & Stage the Space – A spotless, well-decorated home makes a great first impression.
✔ Leave a Welcome Guide – Include WiFi details, house rules, local tips, and emergency contacts.
✔ Check All Appliances & Amenities – Ensure everything is working before guests arrive.
✔ Stock the Kitchen – Even a small coffee & tea station adds a thoughtful touch!
✔ Welcome Packs - Before every stay prepare a nice welcome pack. Thiss could include wine, biscuits, etc.
During the Stay
✔ Be Responsive – Quick replies to guest inquiries = better reviews!
✔ Offer Local Recommendations – Suggest great restaurants, activities, and hidden gems in your area.
✔ Check-in (Without Overdoing It!) – A simple "Hope you're enjoying your stay!" message can go a long way.
After Check-Out
✔ Inspect for Damage & Restock Supplies – Ensure everything is guest-ready for the next booking.
✔ Send a Thank-You Message – A friendly “Thanks for staying!” message encourages repeat guests.
✔ Encourage Reviews – More 5-star ratings = more bookings!
