The best amenities for your holiday rental

You've finally decided! After much consideration, your apartment is ready to rent and you've taken care of every last detail. But are you sure you haven't forgotten anything? Something as simple as amenities or welcome products can make all the difference.

In your apartment, just like home

This is how your guest should feel. Maybe they're one of those people who carries a suitcase that looks like a treasure chest every time they leave home, even taking a cardigan in case it gets chilly, even if they're on the coast in August. But no matter how prepared they are, they'll always leave something at home. When we travel, we don't take everything we want with us, either out of oversight or because it doesn't fit in our luggage. Toiletries are among the most common items people forget. Nobody likes to travel with a bottle of shampoo and shower gel.

Not sure where to start? Take a look at this list of essential items for your accommodation.

Hotels have accustomed their guests to having the typical amenities pack with shower gel, shampoo, and hand soap. So your apartment can't be any less. You can even go a little further and make a difference. These products we just mentioned are what your guest expects, but what if we surprise them?

Ideas to earn a good rating thanks to amenities

It's the personal touches that can make your holiday apartment unique. Surprising your tenant (in a good way) will earn you many points. If there's one hygiene product we hate leaving at home, it's a toothbrush and toothpaste. Nobody likes to walk around with a dirty mouth, so leaving your tenants a couple of toothbrushes with toothpaste can be a nice gesture. But you can go even further. How about a small jar with body cream? Or even with after-sun if your holiday home is in a beach location. Think of all those small details that would make you happy if you visited accommodation and try to include them in your apartment.

Beyond the bathroom

For your guest's own good, we hope they don't have to spend their entire stay in the bathroom, so you can try other types of amenities less related to hygiene. Here the options are endless: a movie streaming service, free WiFi, a notebook for taking notes, a city tourist guide, board games, some bottles of water, some sweets… You can go from the simplest and most economical to truly luxurious services. You choose! Think carefully about the type of audience you want to attract to your accommodation. The better you know them, the clearer you'll be on what they might like. With a small investment and a little imagination, you can turn your accommodation into something unique.
