WHAT YOU PROVIDE FOR GUESTS

[Kim4860]

As a host, I am always disappointed when I stay in other Airbnb establishments.  I provide more than is necessary in my property.  It is a 6 sleeper, and I provide more than 6 pieces of cutlery, crockery, glasses, dish towels, etc.  Why do people only provide 4 knives and forks, 4 glasses and so on in a 2 sleeper establishment?  It looks mean.  You should be making your place feel luxurious and comfortable. There is more than enough dishwashing liquid; the soap containers in the bathroom are all full, not half full.  You should be making your guests feel welcome and it doesn’t cost much to do this.

Hi @Kim4860 

I definately agree with you, but if you provide 12 of everything for a 6-sleeper, that's the same as 4 of everything for a 2-sleeper?

For me, there are 2 things that can go wrong if a host provides too much cutlery and crockery. Both are only relevant when the guests aren't very considerate:

(1) some use everything available before they wash, so if there's plenty, they carry on using without washing. This is a nightmare time-wise at checkout when you have same-day guests arriving.

(2) some guests may see it as a signal that you cater for them to invite friends and family over. This may be an issue, depending on how strict the host is on that point.

Congratulations on being a new host on Airbnb. One of the great things about being an Airbnb host is everyone hosts differently . 

not everyone looks to offer a luxurious property some provide cosy and comfortable, some a treehouse , some a city pad, some a homeshare etc

whats important is the listing as described. 

if you have two staying I don't see an issue in providing double the amount of crockery for the maximum numbers who can stay @Kim4860 

I'm a five star superhost and no guest has ever commented on whether my toiletries are full.
