Are welcome snacks allowed?

[Matilda49]

Are welcome snacks allowed post-Covid? I’m wanting to leave a welcome basket, but not sure if it’s allowed.

@Matilda49 As the WHO has declared the pandemic over I would hope you can now. How long it takes Airbnb to catch up is another thing altogether.

Sorry, I meant after Covid appeared as “post-Covid”, not that it is over since I know hosts provided snacks prior to Covid appearing.

Wow- I have always left a welcome basket (wine, chocolate, dried fruit from our farm), as well as have a coffee-bar type thing in the kitchen with coffee, teas, and breakfast bars (to give guests a perk once they land after a potentially long day of travel). Never even thought about whether or not that would be 'allowed'. I can't imagine any issue if things are sealed. And, i can tell you most all my guests acknowledge the basket with appreciation. I think it's a nice touch, and makes a stay feel personal. I'd say go for it!

We provide a basket of snacks plus coffee and tea. Even during pandemic. They were all prepackaged items (chips, cookies, etc…) and bottled water in the fridge, all met city safety guidelines. 

[Matilda49]

Thank you! Will look at city guidelines and do that! 

[Matilda49]

Yes, it’s a nice gesture. Will definitely do that. It’s our first Airbnb so wanted to make sure I wasn’t breaking any rules.

@Matilda49 , we have always provided prepackaged snacks and drinks for our guest(s). We will also start offering seasonal organic fruit (from our trees) this year as well.
