Hi @Pete5166,
I agree with what others have shared, and I’d like to add a few more points for consideration.
If you plan to run it as self check-in, it would be a good idea to provide a smart lock for each guest room, as well as controlled access to the front gate and main entrance.
When guests are not traveling together as a group but instead as individual travelers, much will depend on how expectations are managed. Key considerations include:
- Common spaces such as the kitchen, dining area, and living room
- Shared storage like the refrigerator and freezer
- Shared laundry facilities
- Shared entertainment (e.g., PlayStation)
The challenge is to balance privacy and convenience so that every guest feels comfortable. This becomes even more complex if guests come from different countries, with different cultural habits or communication barriers. You’ll need to think ahead about how to handle such situations to avoid conflicts and maintain a consistent 5-star guest experience.
If you have solid answers to address these risks, managing multiple room listings can work well. Otherwise, keeping it as a single entire house might be the safer option in terms of both operations and guest satisfaction
