How many essentials do you provide and does it vary based on number of nights?

In our 3 BD 1 BA home we typically provide 2 dishwasher pods, 2 washing machine pods, 2 paper towels and 2 rolls of TP per bathroom. I recently had a guest staying for 7 nights ask us to bring more TP and dishwasher pods. We did but I've stayed at many Airbnb's and I've never asked the host to do this even for longer stays. I should also mention this is a small bungalo in a urban neighborhood so most guests don't do alot of cooking or cleaning. Is there a  standard quantity? 2 rolls per two nights?

@Shannon1151 we always left enough dishwasher pods, washing liquid, toilet paper etc for the guest's whole stay.

Reasons:

I get really annoyed when travelling if I have to buy a whole packet of dishwasher tablets when I only need a couple. 

Dishwasher tablets are cheap (when bought in bulk)

Any supplies that ensure the dishes are properly washed are well worth leaving. Same goes for bin bags etc.

Anything less feels cheap even when guests are only paying £50 per night.

Hi @Shannon1151! 👋

 

Hope your week is going well! I'm happy to see that you offer so many essentials to guests. I'm sure they feel like they are at home!

 

If it's with them, I'm going to tag a few other members to see what do they think about this situation: @Kate2192@Kenchy0 and @Anton7298. 🙂

 

Hope this helps and have a lovely that.
