The Airbnb Host’s Bathroom Essentials Checklist
The bathroom sounds like such a simple space to put together, but it actually offers a surprising number of opportunities to impress your guests and
Your guests were expecting more (or less) privacy.
As guests narrow down listings by the “type of place” filter, Airbnb provides three options: entire place, private room, or shared room. Private room or shared room experiences tend to be pretty predictable and consistent from host to host. But the “entire place” category can feel like a complete gamble for guests. From basement suites to standalone homes, “entire place” becomes the catchall category for anything with a private entrance. And given the app’s generous description of “a place all to yourself,” it’s easy to see how guests can end up frustrated when they arrive to find something less than a completely secluded property.
If your Airbnb falls in the “entire place” category, give more context.
Friction typically results from the chasm between expectations and reality. If your Airbnb falls under the “entire place” category, take the initiative and paint a picture of what potential guests should actually expect.
Your reviews will help guide you here. If your guests are leaving clarifications for future travelers about how much space or privacy to expect, it’s usually time to fine-tune your listing. (Haven’t done the 5-day Listing Challenge yet? There’s no time like the present!)
Identify which of the five “entire place” flavors represents you.
Take a look at our blog post The Private Airbnb: The Five Flavors of the “Entire Place” Home Type. This will give you a framework of the five most common types of “entire place” Airbnbs, and help you understand what the pros and cons are from the guest’s perspective.
