Do you offer food and drink to your guests?

Do you offer food and drink to your guests_.jpg

 

Hello hosts 👋
 
I’m really excited to hear about the lovely things you do to make your guests feel right at home. So, I’m super curious, do you offer any delicious food and drink to your guests? 
 
Whether it's a charming welcome basket filled with local treats, a delightful breakfast spread, or a thoughtfully curated selection of beverages, your special touches can make such a difference in their experience. I once stayed in a yurt in Derbyshire that was on a farm, and we were provided with a a very tasty bottled cows milk to go with my morning coffee. Delicious! 
 
Please share your creative ideas, heartwarming stories, or any unique offerings you provide below! I can’t wait to hear all about it!

I offer a space in my house and the kitchen is shared with me...  So I keep one cupboard specifically for my guests stocked with tea, coffee, cocoa, sugar & non-perishable creamers, along with instant oatmeal choices for breakfast.  There is a grocery store close by and I offer plenty of storage space in the fridge and pantry for longer-stay guests who are inclined to do "real" cooking.

We offer tea and coffee and bottled water and sports drinks (because of our elevation in New Mexico is is important for people not used to it to stay hydrated) - small snacks like granola bars, bag of trail mix and hard candy. If someone lets us know they are celebrating something we will leave cupcakes from a local bakery for them. They always love the surprise!

We supply all the staples.  Coffee, tea, sugar, olive oil, spices, refrigerator condiments and a welcome basket with a variety of chips, pretzels & popcorn.

Hello Rebecca,

I have spices and unexpired condiments in the fridge. Outside of those things and maybe some popcorn or snacks left in the welcome basket I don’t offer any other food or drink.

We provide bottled and filtered water, as well as everything you need for tea and coffee (sugar, creamer, herbal and regular tea, quality ground coffee). We sometimes add a bottle of local wine as a treat.

Hi all! No, but my setup is "dorm room" style with a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee/tea maker. I leave a bottle of water for each guest and have a small tin on top of the microwave where I stash some snacks: protein granola bars, cookies, and pretzels. 

In my nearly 10 years hosting, I've noticed people are very happy to bring all their own stuff, (including groceries)...and they certainly have a lot of it.

I always leave fresh bread, milk, butter and tea/coffee/sugar so they can have tea & toast when they arrive and have something for breakfast. I also leave local Irish porridge, free range eggs, cereals. Its nice to leave treats - always biscuits, and sometimes nice cakes and sweets, and seasonal treats for national holidays.

We provide tea, coffee, sugar,  but no creamer as our regulations in our county also limit our ability to provide food.

Unfortunately with Airbnb smart pricing and the current financial market it is hard to even make a profit at all and certainly there is no room financially for providing extras other than coffee and tea

Hi, unfortunately we do not offer any food or drinks due to some legislations around food. If we did, we would need to obtain a licence for that which comes with inspections from the council. However, we do have a coffee machine for guests which is handy whenever guests need one.
