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

We started this adventure because we live in So. Cali and our retirement income is being swallowed by taxes and inflation.  However, we have had 7 guests so far and we have enjoyed every one of them.  We have watched a couple get ready for their wedding, another sweet couple were new to California and bought their first home while staying with us, a single man who stayed a month was truly delightful etc.  We have just loved getting to know and hopefully bless the people who are coming to stay at our Cozy Country Home.  We are totally booked the second 1/2 of this month and new bookings (since I incorporated some of the good advice I received on this forum) through November.  Pure Joy!

Creating experiences of well-being, ease and connection has always been something that I've loved. Anytime someone comes to my own home they always comment on how calm they feel.

When I had an opportunity to create our rental property, I knew I wanted to make it a space that felt like an extension of my own home and that hopefully, allowed guests to feel a sense of warmth, comfort  and greater of well-being.

It's all in the details!

I've been very intentional about creating various, what I call, points of ritual and connection which I feel enhance daily life. This looks like cozy corners to enjoy your morning tea or coffee, handmade ceramic mugs that make drinking that beverage just a little more special, nooks and objects that invite slowing down, a simple table that allows for lingering longer over a meal.

Infusing these points of ritual is one of my favorite parts of hosting. My intention is always to make even the mundane a little more meaningful. I think my guests feel that even if they aren't totally aware as to why.
