What makes you most happy about hosting?

[Bhumika]

Hi everyone!

As we dive into the month of August and celebrate Happiness month, it's a great time to reflect on our Hosts' Airbnb journey and hear what brings them joy while hosting. Hosting and hospitality is not just limited to providing a stay to the guests, but it also provides an avenue to create memorable experiences, building connections, and finding success and happiness in the little moments.

So I'd like to hear from our Hosts, what makes you happy the most when it comes to hosting? 😍 We're curious to hear what brings you joy in your hosting journey! 🌟😻

Best,
Bhumika

Hi @Brian3016 ! I guess many Hosts would agree how meeting guests from across the globe gives an opportunity to dive into and learn from other cultures😍 

I’d love to hear more about your experiences. Do you have memorable guest stories and interactions that particularly stood out to you? Would you like to 👉share your unforgettable hosting stories!👈  with the Community?

I love to help make travelers enjoy their visit by offering a clean and well-maintained home.

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful comment @Junee2 ! 

How do you ensure a clean and well maintained home for your guests? Do you take help from house cleaners or cleaning services? Or prefer to inspect the cleaning process closely?

Of course the additional income, but also very cool is meeting people from all over the world, as we are on-site hosts. 🥰

[Bhumika]

That's amazing to hear @Lisa8744 😍 I guess many Hosts would agree with that! 

As on-site Hosts, how do you usually welcome your guests?

Hi @Bhumika , my journey with hosting has given me a good number of transformations, entrepreneurial opportunities, leadership skills, insights into the hospitality industry, get to work on my desires and more aspirational goals. I’m looking forward to a new life- by having a home for those who wish to be part of my journey. I’m a happy person at the end of my day 🥰

[Bhumika]

Wow @Dr-Jayanthi1 ! I love how you've beautifully shared how hosting has brought a positive transformation for you😍 

What new aspirations or goals are you most excited about as you continue your hosting journey? 😊

[Abraham253]

With no way of knowing what to expect hosting for different people from all walks of life, having the opportunity to share our place with each and every guest has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. It makes me happy to take part in delivering a place of comfort where people come and enjoy themselves while on vacation etc. I’m thankful for this journey 

[Bhumika]

Hi @Abraham253 , what a wonderful thought! 

Do you have any memorable guest experiences you've had so far? 😍

[Rosemarie157]

I love meeting people!

[Mary6091]

I guess what i enjoy most about hosting is having my guests experience an enjoyable stay in my  Cottage and them discovering what interesting things our local region has to offer.   Reading the positive reviews and comments is very rewarding as i focus on providing a comfortable stay with well equipped facilities.

[Bhumika]

Hi @Mary6091 , I hear you! Positive reviews coming from guests would be so much rewarding with the hard work you've put in as host 😍

Do you often recommend local delicacies and sight seeing places to guests? 

How do you ensure a smooth stay for guests?

Return of my old guests always makes me happy🫶
