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.

Ciao @Kim4860 , io personalmente offro aperitivo di benvenuto, prodotti per la cucina, caramelle ecc ecc.

Ho notato che molti si sentono autorizzati a portare via delle cose,tipo le posate e cavatappi,o svuotare il barattolo delle caramelle.

Quando accade resto un po' amareggiato, quindi sto rivedendo qualche cosina sulle cose a disposizione nell'alloggio, una di queste è proprio la disponibilità delle posate.

Hi @Kim4860, I personally provide a welcome drink, kitchen essentials, sweets and so on.

I’ve noticed that many people feel entitled to take things away – such as cutlery and corkscrews – or to empty the sweet jar.

When that happens, I feel a bit disheartened, so I’m reviewing a few things regarding what’s available in the accommodation; one of these is precisely the availability of cutlery.

@Michael10505 - thanks Michael.  I’m sorry you have had the experience of people taking things.  Thankfully I have not experienced this.  I guess it is a learning game as we go along!  Thanks for your message.

@Lesslie0  I don’t think it can ever be too much. It just shows how considerate you are by anticipating the needs of your guests.  I’m sure you have very grateful guests 😊

I agree, we stayed in one last year and there wasn’t even a tea towel or anything to wash up with. I leave plenty of everything to ensure the guests have an easy comfortable stay.
