Some amenities hold greater value to guests than others. While you might not be keen on installing a pool, there are simpler options that guests highly appreciate.

‍Self Check-In – Close to 40% of guests value the option to independently check in when they make their accommodation choices. By incorporating a lockbox or utilizing a solution like KeyNest, you can expand the range of searches in which your property appears. Discover further details about our lockbox options here.

‍Office Space – Were you aware that 1 in 5 guests utilize Airbnb for remote work during their travels? As a significant portion of travelers engage in work-related trips, targeting this segment is crucial. Business travelers often opt for extended stays and possess higher budgets, making them a lucrative market. By incorporating a workspace equipped with a table, chair, and electrical outlets, you can draw in remote workers. Additionally, meeting specific criteria, like offering a dedicated workspace area, can earn your property a ‘business travel ready’ badge from Airbnb. This badge acknowledges your property’s suitability for business travelers.

‍Pets – While the idea of having furry companions in your property might not immediately appeal to everyone, offering a pet-friendly stay is a sought-after feature among guests. Surprisingly, there’s a limited array of options for travelers with pets. It’s worth noting that while this amenity is popular, it can be somewhat controversial. Airbnb even excludes pet-friendly stays from being designated as ‘business travel ready’. However, it’s important to consider that Airbnb’s AirCover insurance now includes protection against pet-related damages. Furthermore, pets have their own category as guests, allowing you to impose an additional fee per pet. This fee can be used to cover any necessary pet preparations within your home or to facilitate a more thorough cleaning afterward.

‍Entertainment Access – A vast majority of Airbnb hosts, around 88%, provide cable TV or Netflix to their guests. By offering a streaming service like Netflix for just £6.99 a month, you can distinguish your property from others and enhance your reviews. This added home comfort can also draw in guests who are planning longer stays, boosting your Airbnb income with minimal effort.
