Top 10 Extras to Amaze Your Airbnb Guests
Ten thoughtful additions that distinguish exceptional Airbnb hosts and lead to five-star reviews and Superhost status, from welcome baskets to bath robes.
Introduction
Hosting on Airbnb extends beyond simply providing shelter — it’s an opportunity to create memorable experiences for travelers. While basic amenities meet expectations, thoughtful additions distinguish exceptional hosts and lead to five-star reviews and Superhost status.
The Top 10 Extras
1. Welcome Basket
Something to welcome your guests is an absolute must! A welcoming gift reflecting local culture and personality sets a positive tone. Regional wine, coffee, candies paired with a personal greeting card, refrigerator magnets, or postcards make excellent choices.
2. Full Length Mirror
Guests attending important events appreciate the ability to prepare with confidence. A bedroom mirror allows travelers to groom and dress properly.
3. iPhone & Android Charging Cables
Forgotten chargers frustrate travelers. Providing fully charged cables — or USB charging stations — ensures guest satisfaction with this practical amenity.
4. Makeup Removal Wipes
Stocking bathroom essentials like makeup remover wipes prevents guest frustration and protects your linens from stains during laundry.
5. Room Safe
Travelers often have valuables they would like to keep safe while enjoying the town. A bedroom safe provides necessary peace of mind for guests exploring the area.
6. Yoga Mats
Offering yoga mats, hand weights, and exercise bands helps guests maintain fitness routines while away from home.
7. Bluetooth Speakers
These devices enable guests to customize their environment, whether preparing for outings or relaxing after activities.
8. Hair Straightener or Curling Iron
While many properties provide hair dryers, straighteners and curling irons represent a thoughtful upgrade guests genuinely appreciate.
9. Bath Bombs, Bubble Bath, or Bath Salts
Spa-quality bath products create luxurious relaxation experiences guests will remember fondly.
10. Bath Robes
Soft, cozy robes enable guests to wind down comfortably after bathing, creating nurturing vacation memories.
Implementation
Ensuring consistent presentation of these extras requires clear communication. Using a checklist feature, you can detail how each and every part of your listing should look and even include pictures.
Cleaning services can reference these checklists while preparing properties, guaranteeing that every detail receives proper attention regardless of who performs the work.

Combining thoughtful extras with organizational tools elevates guest experiences and demonstrates Superhost-level commitment to excellence.
