The Airbnb Host's Essentials Checklist

Set the Stage for 5-Star Stays with These Must-Have Details

When guests walk into your Airbnb, they're not just looking for a place to sleep — they're looking for an experience. One that feels effortless, cared for, and above all, intentional. Whether you're hosting a coastal retreat, city apartment, or country cottage, the right touches can turn a good stay into an unforgettable one.

At Fine Details, we’ve curated a checklist of hosting essentials that help you impress your guests, earn glowing reviews, and inspire repeat bookings, all while keeping your space looking and feeling elevated.


Bedroom Basics That Make a Big Impact

1. Crisp, Hotel-Quality Linen
Your guests will spend a third of their stay in bed — make it count. Opt for white or neutral-toned duvet covers and fitted sheets that feel fresh, luxurious, and easy to launder between stays. Our Linen Collection brings hotel softness into real-life spaces.

2. Mattress & Pillow Protectors
These are non-negotiable for every guest bed. Not only do Mattress protectors and Pillow protectors safeguard your investment, but they also show guests that hygiene and comfort matter. Look for waterproof, breathable options that don't crinkle or shift.

3. Spare Blankets & Throws
Keep an extra blanket in the cupboard or across the foot of the bed. It shows thoughtfulness and helps guests feel snug in all seasons.

4. Slippers for Comfort & Cleanliness
A pair of soft, clean slippers per guest adds a luxe, hygienic touch — especially for tiled or wooden floors. Our closed-toe or open toe slippers are lightweight, affordable, and made for moments like these.


Bathroom Must-Haves

4. Plush Towels That Actually Dry
Ditch the tired towels and invest in generously sized, absorbent options. Our Meraki snag-proof face cloths, hand towels, and bath sheets are made from 100% cotton and built to handle high-turnover hosting.

5. Robes for That ‘Hotel Feel’
Nothing says "relax, you’ve arrived" quite like a soft, fluffy bathrobe. A pair in each guest room? Instant wow factor.

6. Hairdryer Bags & Laundry Bags
These aren’t just about organisation — they elevate your presentation and help protect your appliances and linen. Our eco-conscious laundry and hairdryer bags are designed with form and function in mind.


Small Details, Big Difference

7. Face Cloths in Multiples
Place a neatly folded face cloth on each towel stack or basin. Embroidered or colour-coded options make it feel more personal — and they’re ideal for makeup removal.

8. Cosmetic Bags or Amenity Trays
Store essentials like ear buds, shower caps, or small toiletries in a beautifully presented bag or ceramic tray. It keeps things neat, and guests love the hotel-like feel.

9. Tissue Boxes & Waste Bins That Don’t Disrupt the Aesthetic
Functional doesn’t need to be ugly. Choose neutral, clean-lined items that blend into your decor.


💡 Pro Tips from the Pros:

  • Keep spares on hand: From extra towels to slippers, it’s always good to have a backup in case of spills or surprise guests.

  • Make a checklist for your turnover team: Ensures consistency in presentation and replenishment.

  • Use your own guest feedback: What did they comment on most? What did they notice? Start there.
