Guests don’t just book your accommodation, they book an experience! We’ve partnered with LiBi Collection to bring you some advice on how best to improve the onsite experience for your guests and drive more revenue for your business.
Here are 8 smart, simple upgrades that can increase your nightly rates, wow your guests, and boost those all-important 5-star reviews.
1. Upgrade Your Bedding: The Secret to 5-Star Reviews
Investing in your bedding is the fastest way to elevate your guest experience and boost your bookings.
- Boutique Hotel Vibes: High-thread-count sheets, fluffy pillows, and plush mattress toppers create an instant sense of luxury and comfort, giving your guests that premium “boutique hotel” feel.
2. Invest in a Comfortable Mattress
- Sleep Sells: After a long day, guests crave a great night’s sleep. A comfortable bed is the number one driver of positive reviews, which directly translates into more bookings and higher occupancy rates.
- The Smart Investment: Guests spend more time in your beds than anywhere else in your property. A simple bedding upgrade is a small investment that delivers a huge return in guest satisfaction and a glowing reputation.
3. Add a Hot Tub: Your Fastest ROI
If you have the space, a hot tub is a game-changer for your property’s performance.
- Massive Return on Investment: A hot tub is one of the single best investments you can make, instantly justifying a higher nightly rate and paying for itself through increased bookings.
- The Ultimate “Wow” Factor: It’s an unforgettable amenity that gets guests excited before they even arrive. A hot tub makes your property stand out and is a top driver of five-star reviews.
4. Use Branded, Luxury Toiletries
A simple upgrade to branded amenities can have a big impact on your guests and your bottom line.
- Create a Spa-Like Feeling: Offering high-end brands like L’Occitane, Arran of Scotland and Green People, instantly gives your guests a luxurious, spa-like feeling that sets your property apart.
5. Make It Pet-Friendly & Pampered
Being pet-friendly is no longer a niche market, it’s a major draw that can significantly increase your bookings and revenue.
- Massive Pet-Friendly Accommodation Demand: With over half of UK households owning a pet, and 85% of dog owners preferring a staycation with their dog over a holiday abroad, offering a pet-friendly option instantly opens your property to a massive, underserved market.
6. Add a Signature Scent or Candle
Creating a signature scent is a powerful way to enhance a guest’s experience and leave a lasting, positive impression. It’s about tapping into the power of scent and memory.
- A Lasting Impression: Our sense of smell is strongly linked to memory. A unique, pleasant scent creates a memorable experience that guests will associate with your property long after they’ve checked out. This can lead to repeat bookings and word-of-mouth recommendations.
7. Offer Little Luxuries
It’s the small, thoughtful details that create a lasting impression and turn a good stay into an amazing one.
- The “Hotel” Experience: Little luxuries like plush bathrobes and comfortable slippers blur the line between a rental and a high-end hotel, making guests feel pampered and truly on holiday. Our partner Tielle will not disappoint!
- A Signal of Care: These touches show that you have gone the extra mile to ensure your guests’ comfort. This level of attention to detail is often what guests remember most and highlight in their reviews.
8. Style Your Space Like a Pro
In a world driven by visuals, a beautifully styled space is your most powerful marketing tool.
- “Instagrammable” Finish: Guests love to share their experiences on social media. A stylish, well-curated space with “Instagrammable” decor and beautiful lighting is something they’ll want to photograph, giving you free marketing and a massive reach.
