What Makes a Property Airbnb-Ready? 7 Must-Haves for Success in Bristol

What Makes a Property Airbnb-Ready? 7 Must-Haves for Success

Whether you’re just starting out or want to improve your guest ratings, every great Airbnb has a few key ingredients. At Host & Co, we know what makes properties stand out and what causes complaints.

Here’s our quick checklist for preparing your space for short-term guests.

1. 🗺️ Location & Accessibility

Properties close to city centres, train stations, and attractions do best but access matters too. We help you set up secure keyless entry or lockbox check-in to keep it seamless.

2. 🛏️ Comfortable Beds with Quality Linen

First impressions start with the bed. We provide hotel-style linen hire ensuring a fresh, high-end feel every time.

3. 🧼 Professional Cleaning

Guests expect spotless bathrooms, kitchens, and surfaces. Our cleaning partners deep clean before every check-in and offer mid-stay refreshes when needed.

4. 💻 Wi-Fi & Workspaces

Most guests travel with laptops, and many need to work. A stable internet connection and a small desk or table makes your property more attractive for longer stays.

5. 🔐 Smart Entry System

Self check-in options increase bookings and reduce missed arrivals. We set up smart locks or secure lockboxes for maximum flexibility.

6. 🌿 Small Touches Matter

From fresh flowers to locally sourced welcome packs, we help you create an experience—not just a place to sleep.

7. 🔥 Safety Compliance

We ensure your listing has all required documentation, from smoke alarms to insurance and risk assessments.
