3 hosting tips to prepare your Airbnb flat for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to attract new guests who are looking to spend the weekend away with their beloved one. But attracting guests for a nice romantic weekend means that you’ll have to level up your flat! For Valentine’s Day, guests are not only looking for a nice place to stay, they want to have a special romantic weekend. Here are 3 tips which will make their stay unforgettable: 

#1 Offer a special Valentine’s weekend package to your guests

Couples will be more inclined to choose your flat if you offer additional services such bottles of champagnes, flowers, chocolates. They will be willing to pay an extra price to find these typical Valentine’s Day ingredients already in their flat. Don’t forget that your guests will be looking for a place to enjoy themselves while not having to take care of everything! For sure they will appreciate that you anticipate their desire.

You can pamper even more your guests by offering a certificate for a local restaurant or a spa! They will be delighted to have an activity already organized in the neighbourhood! You can even leave them a note with advice on romantic places in your neighbourhood. The article “Most Romantic Restaurants in London” will help you suggest a restaurant to your guests! 

#2 Turn your flat into a perfect love nest

“Love is in the air”, that’s the impression you want to give to your guests when they first step in into your flat.  It can be easily achieved by adding some typical romantic items such as candles, bath salts, lotions, roses, a bottle of wine already on the table with fancy glasses waiting for them, jazz CDs available.  Don’t forget that the more your guests will be seduced by the romantic atmosphere of your flat, the better your review will be!

Be careful not to overdo it, no need to put petal roses everywhere! 

#3 Make a special promotion on Valentine’s Day itself

This year Valentine’s Day is a Tuesday, some people might not go for the whole weekend but just celebrate it on the D-day. You can attract them with a special rate for the 14th. It will most likely be last minute booking with late check-in time, so you should be more flexible on these bookings than usual. You don’t need to add all the extra services like the spa and the restaurant, but a romantic decoration plus an extra like a bottle of champagne will still be needed!

Don’t forget to specify all these extra services for Valentine’s Day in your listing!
