Essential amenities are the basic items that a guest expects in order to have a comfortable stay. These include:
- Toilet paper
- Soap (for hands and body)
- One towel per guest
- One pillow per guest
- Linens for each guest bed
Quantities of each item depend on the number of guests and the length of their stay. For longer stays, you may need to provide extras of each amenity to ensure guests have everything they need for the duration of their stay.
You can decide whether you want to make each guest bed or leave the bed linens neatly stacked. We encourage hosts to communicate with your guests during the booking process to get their preference.
We strongly encourage hosts to provide essential amenities in all their listings.
