Guests often have high hopes for luxury vacations and prestigious villas. Owners of first-class vacations should consider offering guests the same amenities, amenities for creatures and services that their discerning guests use to receive in five-star hotels.
Stroll through your property as if it were a hotel. To offer a luxury hotel package that you don’t have? What can you offer in a house that the hotel cannot do?
The following list will help you prepare your property for rental to those guests who are attracted to your luxury villa.
Basic needs: think about the availability of travel adapters (for each country) available to your guests, in addition to tumble dryers, extra toothbrushes, charming guest soaps, extra toilet paper, paper towels, travel products, and the like. Make sure you have enough bedding available for all guests, and make sure that these bedding is soft and fluffy. Offer some very large beach and beach towels.
More simple comfort needs: the best hotels provide their guests with ways to adjust the room temperature, provide CDs and alarm clocks in a separate unit, an easy way to make a cup of coffee or tea, as well as extra pillows and blankets in the room, if desired. Do not forget that additional fans and heaters are hidden in the cabinet, just in case the automatic system goes down or the guest prefers fans and heaters.
Bathrooms: In the bathrooms, did you provide sufficient storage space and / or a table where they can leave their toiletry sets? Did you provide rubberized, rubberized bath caps so that your customers do not slip out of the bath? How about small bath mats so that they can dry without making the bathroom floor slippery?
In the bedrooms and other public places, did you provide sufficient lighting for reading and a table with a comfortable, adjustable chair near the exit for those who want to calculate? How about choosing different pillows, because not everyone likes the same head pillow.
Home office: Is your speed and service on the Internet good enough for a business person with a lot of work? Have you installed wireless Internet access so your visitors can work from any part of your property? Have you installed a phone system that allows your customers to make free local or long-distance calls; If you do not want to allow a long distance, you made a card purchase through the housekeeper or concierge? Think about offering or offering them phone cards so that they do not remain without long-distance access. Make sure your printer, fax machine, copier, scanner and other equipment are easy to use and your products are available to you.
For a truly high-end property, offer a computer loaded with all the software they will ever need (just in case they will forget their laptop computer at home). A home office may indeed be a decisive factor for those families that have the resources for a long stay, but they want to be well equipped to conduct business from a remote office. Make it an easy decision to choose your property over others! Feel free to mention this in your luxury vacation listing on sites where you advertise your holiday home.
Kitchen: In the kitchen, think about offering a high-quality juicer, a powerful blender, a waffle or crepe machine, a food processor and an electric grill, rice steamer, cook pots and pans, and a set of sharp high-caliber knives. For those who love to cook at home, these items are indicative. The promise of an outstanding kitchen can be one of the greatest decoding factors for a client who reserves your property for a long time (or not). In areas where water quality is controversial for tourists, be sure to warn your guests in advance. Specialized underwater filtration / purification systems are a great advantage in the kitchen, so even washed products will not leave you with dubious water. It really can boast and can also make changes to the property you have reserved (or not).
Small fire extinguishers: easily accessible in various areas of the house where it is needed.
Extras: Have you thought about what your customers can do on a rainy day? Consider providing a wardrobe with a selection of board games, children's books, art objects and anything else that can provide entertainment. Do not forget the umbrellas, various sizes of rain boots and raincoats for walking on the street.
For homes near the beach, make sure that you offer your customers to use exquisite beach equipment and a way to conveniently deliver everything to and from the beach. In certain areas where this is possible, consider taking part in the local cabana club, which at an additional cost may allow your guests to access their services for free. This can be a major selling point when renting your home over others.
For houses with tennis courts, a ball, a ball, badminton, table tennis, a pool table or other amenities: make sure you have enough supplies and equipment for your guests to really play the games. Guests who have booked a home hoping to use these facilities will be disappointed if they have to go and spend the time and money shopping for their games.
Security: if the theft of your “extra” items is a matter of concern, your customers sign a checklist and “check” items from you, and also offer locks in the supply cabinets by checking. Later, ask the employee to check the items and get the keys before they leave.
Ensure that all potentially dark areas, corridors, and stairs have adequate lighting. Install automatic night lights or lights that turn on automatically when motion is detected. Think about lighting the underwater pool in your pool for a romantic atmosphere and safety.
Make sure your pool area is protected from children through a gate system if this is a concern. A portable pool gate system is a good idea if sometimes the house is occupied only by adults, and thus both children and adult guests can be accommodated. Not everyone wants to look at the pool gate.
Offer your customers to use a large central safe or individual safes in each room. They will appreciate the extra sense of security, leaving their more valuable obligations in the house. Make sure your fire alarm system is updated and the batteries are up to date. In addition, in the case of individual smoke detectors, provide a ladder that is convenient if the alarms disappear accidentally and your customers need to reach to turn them off!
Little ones: think about your customers who are parents. Offer baby equipment such as high chairs, cribs, a changing station, and other necessities that parents may need. Perhaps you can dedicate a small room to being a nursery or a game room. A wide selection of toys can usually be found cheaply at local thrift stores. To appeal to a large number of couples traveling with small children, consider keeping your home “protected from children” by a professional who can ensure the safety of all areas of the house for younger guests.
Your vacation is a hybrid between a hotel and a house, and the details matter. The more comforts you can provide to your guests (and feel free to attribute something extra for privileges), the more customers it will attract, and the more likely it is that your luxury holiday home will be booked, enjoyed and returned again and again
