Many people offer their homes for rent through the popular Airbnb service. At the same time, owners want their homes to be successful on the platform. They aim to garner positive reviews to attract more customers. SSPDaily learned more about it.
Diane Cruz, an experienced cleaning expert, shared tips on how to ensure that your Airbnb listing stands out among the top ones. According to an article by Insider, following unwritten rules should lead to success.
In a conversation with the publication, she provided three simple tips to help Airbnb hosts improve their ratings. According to her, the vast majority of Airbnb hosts provide a great travel experience for guests, but some "hosts who violate cleaning standards may receive warnings, suspensions, and, in some cases, account termination."
Among the top tips from the cleaning expert is always leaving at least three bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the bathrooms of the house for guests so that they don't have to worry about bringing their own. This will show guests that the hosts care about their stay in the house.
Also, concerning basic necessities like toilet paper, it's better to have an adequate supply to avoid unexpected shortages. She mentioned that she always ensures there is enough toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, soap, and laundry detergent for the entire duration of a guest's stay.
Furthermore, her advice is not to skimp on hiring a cleaning service. Guests value cleanliness, and one way to ensure this is to hire a thorough cleaning team. According to her, the property should leave a good impression, so it's unacceptable to have dirty or smelly sheets, a dirty or grimy shower, or a dirty floor under the bed.
Cruz emphasizes that to avoid a messy home, one should invest in cleaners who pay attention to the little things. She also advises keeping a closet filled with necessary items. Therefore, the easiest way to do a quick and thorough cleaning is to maintain a closet full of linens so that cleaners can promptly make a bed with clean sheets without waiting for laundry and change towels.
