I feel amazing when my guests ______ (Fill in the blank) 🏡

[Alex]

Hello everyone! 👋

As a host, there are all kinds of experiences. Some are full of learning, some go incredibly well, and others may present a few challenges. But today, I really want to focus on the positive experiences! 🌟

So, I’d like to ask you: What makes you feel amazing when hosting your guests? Have there been any moments where a guest said something that truly brightened your day? Perhaps they complimented your beautiful decoration, praised your hosting skills, or even shared how much they loved their stay and expressed a desire to return... 🔙

There’s no right or wrong answer here! This is all about you sharing those uplifting moments that made your day. Who knows? Your stories can inspire other hosts to create magical experiences for their guests as well. 💭

I can't wait to read your heartwarming stories! ✨

Best, 

Alex

Hi Alex,

I feel amazing when my guests tell me that the house is so beautiful and that the feel at home.

Lately a couple asked me to extend their vacation because they had a great time and  they didn't want to leave.

This is top, the right recognition for a lot of effort.

happyness :-)))

Hey Alex, this is such a lovely thread — thanks for starting it! 🌟

I feel amazing when my guests tell me they felt at home.

One guest once wrote, “I actually slept better here than in my own bed,” and I don’t think they realized how much that meant to me.

It’s those quiet little moments — when someone leaves a note, waters a plant, or says they’ll be back — that remind me why I host in the first place. It’s not just hospitality, it’s connection. 🏡💛

Thanks for the question @Alex !

I  love when my guests are pleasantly surprised at my welcome basket of treats and the home-made card I individualise for each person.

It also feels like the effort I put in to make their room feel like home- pillows, white sheets, antique rocking chair, etc, and they all rave that the room and house look EXACTLY like the photos. I love my home and it feels good to know my guests feel at home too.

All the best!

Easy one. I feel amazing when guest send me pictures of their stay. Or when the booker guests rings me in the middle of the night to tell me his / her partner said "yes" to marrying them. And especially when guests have gone out of their way to buy something "nice" to leave in the house for further guests to enjoy.
