Guests arriving for a week-long stay have different expectations.
Unlike the speedy one or two night stay, guests who have booked a full week with you have seven whole days to settle in and soak up your Airbnb. That extra time means they’re more likely to appreciate all of the thoughtful touches you’ve added to your space. But it also means they’re more likely to arrive with specific expectations. They’ve shelled out considerably more cash, had more time to anticipate the trip, and are understandably more emotionally invested. The longer a guest’s stay, the higher the stakes feel to them.
Tweak your space to accommodate their particular needs.
When you’ve got guests arriving for a week-long (or even month-long) stay, the prep will often look a bit different for you. After all, it will be a while before you’re back in your space too. As you prepare your Airbnb, ask yourself: could I easily live here for a full week (or month) without going back home to fetch things? Often an Airbnb ideal for a weekend getaway shows its blindspots during a week-long stay.
Check out these 18 tips to prepare for longer stays.
If you’ve got long-term guests headed your way, start by reading our blog post: What Makes Week-Long Guests Different (and How to Prepare for Them). This step-by-step post will walk you through the 7 most common differences between short term and long term guests, as well as 18 tips to prepare your Airbnb just for them. Guests booking a longer visit are usually traveling for a specific reason. First hint: ask these folks what brings them to town. Their answer is often gold when it comes to fine-tuning your space for them.
