@Quincy  Hello everyone and congrats to all new Superhosts! 

Tip that I can share is to ensure clear and prompt communication with your guests, addressing any questions or concerns they may have before, during, and after their stay. This helps create a positive experience and fosters trust between you and your guests. Strangers become friends and memories become treasures.🙏

[Quincy]

Hello @Patricia2526, thank you so much for sharing this. Communication is very important, indeed! 👍

Do your guests ask questions frequently? 

[Patricia2526]

Hi @Quincy  not quite often maybe because we have detailed descriptions on our listings.  Most common question I get is “How many minutes walk from the Airport” 

[Carolyn946]

tip we can share is clean,clean,clean 

[Quincy]

Great tip @Carolyn946! ✨

What other tips would you share with fellow Hosts?

[Nathan146]

YES! Clean is so important. Not just the basics either. Clean windows, baseboards, light fixtures. Deep cleans are make everyday cleans so much easier! Adding to that - stained or worn out linens should be monitored and replaced.

[Laurelle3]

@Quincy my tip is we meet our guests and show them through the cottage. This is where  questions can be asked and answered.

We also supply a hamper for breakfast as a welcome gift to get them started.

Communication is important.

[Quincy]

That is a great moment for guests to ask questions, indeed @Laurelle3. The idea of a hamper sounds lovely too!

Have you received a lot of compliments about the hamper? 

[Carlos-M0]

Hamper?   sadly I’m in states and missed what this means?

[Quincy]

Hi @Carlos-M0, it's a basket with goodies such as snacks, drinks, and other items 😃 Do you leave something similar behind for your guests? 

[Joanie49]

what is a hamper?

[Quincy]

Hi there @Joanie49, a hamper is a kind of welcome basket with goodies/snacks 😊

[Debra300]

@Quincy,

In the US, a hamper is where you put your dirty laundry until it's ready to be washed, and what you've described is commonly called a gift basket.

Baseline - the house is spotless, pillows plumped, etc. In winter I leave dried flower arrangements in various places - in summer I make bouquets from flowers and things I find on my property.

I always stock the fridge with local farm fresh eggs around the corner, butter and milk for coffee and I leave a beautiful little jar of jam from a special bakery nearby on top of my welcome note. 

Recently I hosted a family for a week who were in the area to ski.  I suggested a few fantastic diners that I suspected would be fun for the family as well as alternative activities in the area like bowling if they got tired of skiing. I just thought about what I would have enjoyed doing with my own family and made a few suggestions since I’m more familiar with the area.

The family so appreciated my suggestions they booked a return trip to stay with me for Easter weekend before they left the first stay!  When they came back over Easter I made a little Easter basket filled with some treats. 

I think putting yourself in the mindset of the guest and thinking about what would make their stay special can really help to make a great stay.
