This week, Welkeys shares its secrets for becoming a superhost. From welcoming your guests to outfitting your apartment, here are a few thoughtful touches that will give your vacation rental that extra something. Have you created your listing and are you eager to share your world with your guests? When you started short-term renting, you had one goal in mind: becoming a superhost. The more stars you earn for your bnb, the more your rental will stand out and your booking calendar will fill up in no time. To help you get there, the entire Welkeys team is sharing the little touches that, along with our concierge service, will win your guests' hearts.

Thoughtful touches for a better experience

Turn your rental into a cozy nest

Creating great memories also comes down to comfort, and it doesn't take much to turn your property into a true sanctuary. The first step is to provide high-quality bed linens; it’s obvious that if your guests get a good night's sleep in your bnb, they’ll be ready for adventure the next day. That’s why we recommend providing comfortable linens for your guests, and even better, having multiple sets of sheets and duvet covers on hand.

‍

Once you’ve carefully chosen your linens, you can simply let our amazing concierges handle the washing and neatly resetting everything. Plus, you like to travel light, and so do your tenants. Offering bed and bath linens to your future guests will be a real asset when they book, giving them more room in their luggage for souvenirs or extra clothes!

‍

Equip your space ingeniously

‍

‍

As we’ve said before, when people travel, they like to bring the essentials and, above all, travel light. To make your guests feel right at home, think about equipping your space to make their stay convenient. Imagine your guests arriving from the other side of the world, and after being warmly welcomed by our concierge, they want to let their loved ones know they’ve arrived safely. But their battery is dead and they forgot their adapter. No panic—you’ve taken care to leave an adapter (or several) available so they can freely charge all their devices from the moment they arrive at your bnb. We also recommend sharing your apartment's Wi-Fi codes with our amazing concierges, who will be happy to help your tenants get connected. Also, like you and me, your guests might be fashion-conscious or foodies, so don't hesitate to provide accessories such as:

a hair dryer a coffee machine, with a few pods, or something for a first breakfast personalized kitchen utensils: a raclette machine if you're in the mountains or a barbecue if you have a garden‍

Combine the useful with the pleasant

‍

‍

Whether you are at the beach, in the countryside, in the mountains, or in the city, you can optimize your guests' stay. Want a few examples?

If you are in the mountains, your tenants will always appreciate you providing a map of the resort or even making sleds available.‍ If you are at the beach or in the countryside, don't hesitate to tell your guests that there are bikes in the garage and that they can also find a basket for a picnic.‍ If you are in a big city, save your tenants from getting lost in the maze of public transport by leaving them a map; you can also recommend one or two handy apps and explain the best transport pass for their stay.

Once your property is perfectly equipped, you can leave a guestbook; you'll see that your travelers will have nothing but praise for all the services you offer. You can then take photos of your guestbook and post them online. And why not create a board where all your guests can pin a little note or a souvenir? Between our expert advice and our concierge services, your superhost status is guaranteed!
