What would be the title of your hosting biography?

[Bhumika]

Hi everyone,

Hosting is no less than a book, where Hosts pour in their creative ideas and experiences — to create a memorable stay for guests. Be it unforgettable guest stories, creating incredible experiences or finding personal growth and satisfaction as a Host — think about the moments that have added great value to your hosting journey!

If you were to write a book about your life as a Host, what would the title be? 📖✨ Would you be a humorous author, who finds immense joy and quirk in hosting? Or would you be a philosophical Host, who finds great joy in building deeper connections through hosting? We'd love to read the unique title you come up with! 😍

Regards,

Bhumika

@Ginette77  awesome 🤩 I’d be paranoid to leave a Polaroid at my independent rental unit- fear of loosing it 😢 I accept it’s great to put good trust on your guests. 
you are a great host 👍👏

Hi @Bhumika it is so good to see the different Hosts on this page and different languages from around the world,

I love the translation underneath so that I can read it without translating myself.

What would my title of my Hosting biography be?

My husbands title would be      A Begginers Guide

Mine would be The Art of Hosting at Our Airbnb.

 another one What Works for Me in My Airbnb, May not Work for You.

@Laurelle3  I'm glad you're enjoying seeing all the different hosts and languages on this page 😍. 

I totally love the creative titles you've come up with! Haha, it must be so amazing to team up with your partner in hosting guests. Who loves hosting the most : you or your husband 😉 ? 

That's a great possibility that you've mentioned in the last title. What works for one Host may or may not work for another depending on region, market etc. Food for though! 💡

@Bhumika , my husband and I are a team. When he introduces himself to our guests he says "I'm the Man  and if you need anything give us a call and I will try to fix it.  Alex gets a chuckle from most of the guest - if there is no language barrier.

I am the cleaner, washer and ironing lady. I also do the floors and sweep, vacuum and wash them As well checking all the dishes, pots and pans are clean, all the drawers are put back together , with everything in its place and replaced. 

I call our "Hidden Gem" cottage my dolls house so youcould say I play in i, just getting right for our next guests.

Alex role is the Bed Stripper and bathroom cleaner. Along with mowing the lawns. 

Yes it does take us 4- 5 hours and longer with cups of tea or lunch added to the time.

I have to say I don't know who enjoys it more but I think it is me with the dolls house.

Take care.

Wow @Laurelle3 , you and Alex definitely make a fantastic team 😍 We've read your brilliant tips as well in the Community of how you create welcoming environment for guests. Clearly shows how much effort and hard work you put into it! 👏💖

I'm curious, do you have any memorable stories from working together on the cottage? Perhaps a time when your teamwork really made a difference for your guests?

[Natasha671]

I think I needed this when I started: "The Art of Welcome: Mastering Airbnb Hosting for Exceptional Experiences."

[Bhumika]

Thanks for sharing @Natasha671 ! Have you continued to create your own welcome and hosting strategies since you started? What has been the best tip that has worked greatly for you?

I have been journaling since day one of my hosting journey. My plans are to convert it to a book at some point. My current working title is “Connecting my community to travelers one guess at a time.”

[Bhumika]

@Millie59 , journaling your hosting journey sounds so unique and interesting 😍

Have you noticed any change in your hosting style since you started? What areas have you improved significantly through your hosting adventure?

I love how you've added the phrase "connecting with community" for the title 🤗 That's what hosting is all about, no? 🎉😍
