Hi there! I think you’re off to a fantastic start! Your home sounds beautiful, and the attention to detail really comes through! I’m a newer host myself, and one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is to listen to your guests, especially through their reviews. You’ll learn so much from their feedback. Adding personal touches can go a long way, too. Think about why your guests are visiting, are they traveling for work or for fun? If it’s business, a few grab-and-go breakfast items and good coffee can be a game-changer. If they’re in town for construction or manual work, I like to leave things like protein bars and Gatorade in the fridge. It doesn’t have to be fancy, just thoughtful. Fresh flowers, small treats, and even basic toiletries (for those who forget the essentials) help show that you genuinely care. I always include a few goodies in the fridge, it’s a nice surprise and guests often mention it in reviews. Communication is everything. Let guests know what to expect from the moment they book. Give them clear check-in instructions and follow up once they’ve settled in (as long as it won’t feel intrusive). Being quick to respond makes a huge difference, they need to know you’re reliable and available. I treat every guest like they might return and hopefully bring friends next time. I aim for that glowing 5-star review every time, and in my experience, showing respect, care, and responsiveness goes a long way in making that happen.
You’ve got this!
Hi Yatam-Singh0
It sounds like your home is lovely with special, personal touches.
I was unable to see the home as I could not find the link to the listing. Have you had guests already?
What worked well for me was to change the title of my listing according to the seasons. For instance if it's winter, I will say "Warm and Cozy Villa with Fireplace".
High quality pictures are a must but you can defintely take them with a camera phone if your lens is clean. Place a plant in each picture to show the "freshness" of the house.
Take pictures of the small details that you are passionate about, like the stained glass.
I wish you all the best with your business.
Hi @Yatan-Singh0 😊,
I’m happy to read all these great suggestions!
What do you think of them? Do you still need help?
Don’t hesitate to let me know!
Warm regards 🌻,
