Whether you’re an official AirBnB host or putting up family and friends for a weekend, offering up a guest room or even your entire home to adventurers is rewarding in many ways! Aside from being a great side hustle or source of income, your home gives travelers a comfortable and authentic place to rest on their journey and allows you to meet people from all over the world.

To help you get that Superhost status, we’ve created an assortment of printables you can use to help your guests have an amazing experience during their time in your home.

Tips on being a great AirBnB host

Committed to hitting that Superhost status or being the main attraction on your family’s next road trip? Here are some helpful hacks that will make you the best host ever.

  • Offer flexible arrival and departure times. Your guests will take comfort in knowing that you’re happy to accommodate their needs, even if they arrive early or depart late.
  • Surpass guests’ expectations with small gestures. A plate of fresh cookies or a bottle of wine will thrill your guests and show them that you’re invested in their experience.
  • Communicate before and during guests’ stay. A personalized email or handwritten note demonstrates your readiness to help answer questions or concerns.
  • Ask about your guests’ privacy preferences. Will your guests prefer to meet you at the door when they first arrive or have access to the home independently?
  • Have soft music waiting for guests’ arrival. This small extra will help ease any stress your guests may be experiencing and will help set a personality for your home.
  • Keep your space simple. You don’t need to offer elaborate gifts or extravagant furnishings for your guests to enjoy your home. A clean, cozy space is all you need.
  • Clearly define house rules. To keep your guests and your personal belongings safe, make sure your guests understand the rules and expectations of your home.

Whether you’re an official AirBnB host working towards Superhost status or just a Good Samaritan hosting friends and family, keep your home and belongings safe with good insurance and clearly defined house rules.

Hosting travelers, relatives and family is an incredibly rewarding experience! Your home will be filled with good company, amazing stories and will serve as home base for adventurers of all kinds. Get your house ready for guests with these printables and let the journeys begin!
