Do you offer food and drink to your guests?

[Rebecca]

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!

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.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us @Charles1986 - do you share this info with guests before they arrive so they can be prepared?

Hello @Rebecca! I'm not a host but as a renter I'm always surprised when I find a bottle of wine left by the hosts with a nice note hoping my stay is good!  That is the host I'm renting from again! And it's always a good label not a cheapie! My two cents worth is if they go through the trouble of supplying treats, wine or some other yummy item it's an added plus for me the potential renter.

Hi @Jeff3144 👋

Thanks so much for stopping by! It’s lush to hear how much a thoughtful touch can make a difference, like a bottle of wine and a note. It really shows the host cares. Do you stay in Airbnbs often? Have you had any particular stays that stand out to you? It's always lovely to hear a positive guest experience. 😊

I have a studio 1BR that caters to solo travelers and couples in the Sierra Nevada Mountain foothills in California, USA. I provide:
-- A snack bowl of individually wrapped nuts/fruit/granola & chocolates.

-- Fresh eggs from chickens guests can visit on the property.

-- A few cans of sparkling water

-- A couple of protein bars

-- Microwave popcorn

-- Local coffee and tea w/ local honey

-- A hand-picked small flower bouquet for the dining table from the property

There's a small herb garden for guest access as well (thyme, mint, rosemary). When we have produce from our garden, I will give  multi-night guests something seasonal like greens, strawberries, tomatoes; etc. There's a full kitchen, but most people tend to dine out at local restaurants in the nearby historic towns.

Reviews regularly mention the "extra amenities" and "personal touches".

Hello @Andrea5869 👋

That sounds lovely! Your guests must really appreciate those thoughtful touches, like the fresh eggs and the flower bouquet. It’s great that you make an effort to offer local products. 😍  

Do you team up with local services for promotions etc?

Hello Rebecca,

Not really. I provide snacks and candy. I have a cabinet filled with seasonings, coffee, and tea.

[Rebecca]

Hello @Carla1812 👋

It sounds like you offer some nice little treats for your guests. Do you find that the snacks and seasonings make a big difference in their experience?

I provide a "coffee corner" with coffee grounds, sugar, and chocolate powder. 

[Rebecca]

Hello @Gisele257 👋 That sounds great! A coffee corner is always a nice touch for guests. Do you notice that many guests make use of it? 

[Kamel101]

Yes, sometimes 

[Rebecca]

Hello @Kamel101 - that's lovely. What kind of things do you leave? 

[Paul12290]

Rebecca, we do not offer food. We only place bottled water in the fridge and place some packaged snacks in baskets. The Guests seem to enjoy the treats.

Hi Rebecca 

Unfortunately we don't offer food to guests as the Airbnb is run remotely. Hope that answers your question 

Many thanks 

Katie
