Certain amenities hold more value for guests than others. While installing a swimming pool might not be feasible, there are simpler yet highly sought-after amenities you can incorporate.
1. Self Check-In: Nearly 40% of guests prioritize properties offering self check-in options. Integrating a lockbox can expand your property’s visibility in filtered searches.
2. Workspace Area: With 1 in 5 guests using Airbnb for remote work, catering to this demographic can lead to longer stays and higher budgets. Creating a dedicated workspace with a desk and comfortable seating can attract business travelers. Airbnb even awards a ‘business travel ready’ badge for properties meeting specific criteria, including a designated workspace.
3. Pet-Friendly: Despite being controversial, pet-friendly accommodations rank high in guest searches. Airbnb’s AirCover insurance now covers pet damage, and hosts can charge an additional fee per pet. This feature appeals to guests with limited options for pet-friendly stays.
4. Streaming Service: Offering streaming services like Netflix can set your property apart and improve guest reviews. For a nominal fee, providing this home comfort can attract longer-stay guests, resulting in increased revenue with minimal effort.
