![]() I am writing this from where i am being hosted on holiday by a 5 star superhost but we have had to get our own toilet paper etc because we could not keep asking for such than save a few dollars, spend a little bit extra and get genuine 5 star reviews that will attract more genuine quality guests to your spite of all the above, there will be those who will trash your place and then try and trash your reputation because that is who they are nothing more and nothing the end of the day, it remains with us the hosting community to try and protect one another without becoming a vigilante community. Levels of this "disease" differ to the famous French story that made headlines of the person who left the place covered in ehhmmm human excrement with sheets and bedding all over, broken furniture and fittings who receive 5 stars are those who go beynd the call of duty in providing an unforgettable service. Some regardless of social status are takers (euphemism for thieves) and others are just plain filthy use items are very individualistic but do not contribute positively to a green dispensers espcially beautiful ones whether mounted or just stainless steel ones etc if thoroughly cleaned and filled and displayed nicely will give that individualistic special feel to need to realise that there are people who are naturally messy. I am a new host and would like to summarise above contributions down will differ. If I were a guest and found those were provided, I'd not be pleased and I'd mention my displeasure to the host. I think there will always be some hosts who insist on trying to make their places hotel-like with those wasteful, environmentally unsound single-use size containers, thinking it makes some kind of great impression on guests, but hopefully, little by little, there will be less and less of those. I didn't buy any of it! I wipe the containrs well with antibacterial wipes, so nothing is yucky or could spread any illnesses. If it's just some dregs, of course I don't leave those, but that basket now contains sunscreen, bug repellent, spray deodorant, shampoo, hair gel, etc. I find guests will often leave almost full containers of things they're brought with them or purchased while here- they don't want to pack them and bring them home. I even have a basket in the guest bathroom with products guests leave behind, that future guests are welcome to use. For now, though, given our logistics and also considering the money that we charge our guests, this is the most logical and practical Well, I certainly use refillable pump dispensers that I refill from bulk bottles and I know that many many other hosts do as well. Later, when we move to where our listing is (ideally within two years), then we will revisit this and see if we can find a better way, one that isn't so hard on the environment. So, to have them refill bottles of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel after every booking.well, to us, that would have been too much to ask (and we're quite sure that they wouldn't have liked it). Plus, we don't live where our listing is and we have someone managing and cleaning it for us. That being the case, we couldn't see putting dispensers on the wall, like you would see in the showers of a YMCA. ![]() But our research indicated what some other writers here have already pointed out: that people paying higher amounts of money tend to want to be pampered, like they would be in a hotel. We had several discussions about this, as we know that these are not environmentally friendly. thanks!Īs we are listing in an upscale market, we decided to go with travel-sized essentials. I'm looking to guage what other hosts are doing in the way of providing bathroom essentials. ![]() I've traveled through Airbnb and have used normal size bottles of shampoo and shared bars of soap and have been fine with that, but I'm not sure if that is OK with the general community. I just started hosting so I haven't heard of any negative feedback on the issue, but I don't want to make a guest feel 'yucky' about it. ![]() Is this normal?.good?.or acceptable? or should I consider buying single use and travel size soaps and shampoos? However, as I have skimmed through other listings I see some hosts provide 'travel size' or 'single use' items for each individual guests (similar to a hotel). I am currenlty providing shampoo and soaps (along with some other personal items and toiletries).however I buy a regular size bottle of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash that can be used for multiple guests mainly because it's cheaper and more economical. I provide guests with a dedicated private bathroom along with their rented private room. ![]()
