I’ve hosted over 5,000 people in 2023 alone with my STR properties, from networking with other host and chatting with my guest the majority of them have said amenities are their top priority. With a lot of people still working from home, longer stays are becoming more and more common & guest are filtering for these top 10 amenities when looking for a place to book.

Airbnb has the option to filter listings, and only display properties that feature what they are looking for. These are the top 10 I’ve compiled.

  1. Pool

  2. Hot Tub

  3. Wifi

  4. Kitchen

  5. Free Parking

  6. Washer & dryer

  7. Air conditioning & heating

  8. Self check in

  9. Dedicated workspace

  10. Pet friendly

Basic Essentials:

On top of those top 10 amenities, your guest will be expecting the these essential as well…

  • One towel per person

  • One pillow per person

  • Linens for each bed (don’t forget the air mattress 😅)

  • Toilet paper

  • shampoo/ conditioner/ body wash

I’ve gotten a lot of feedback from guest that they enjoy having the ability to clean during their stay as well. I always have the kitchen stocked with:

  • Paper towels

  • Disinfectant wipes

  • Disinfectant & antibacterial spray

  • Broom

Safety Essentials:

You want your property as safe as possible, Airbnb also has filters to search for these so I recommend having as many as possible.

  • Carbon monoxide alarm

  • Fire extinguisher/ fire blanket

  • First aid kit

  • Emergency plans (Evacuate the building & or emergency contact numbers)

If your guest has accessibility needs, they are able to search for specific amenities via filters. If your property is accessible, make it known!

  • Wide entry

The search for WFH friendly places is on the rise, these are some filters to keep in mind:

Kid Friendly & Pet Friendly Features:
