Three Simple Ways to Improve Holiday Cottage Reviews
If you’re renting out a holiday cottage, good reviews are essential and an effective way to attract people to your property. When searching for the perfect place to stay, most people will quickly head to reviews and testimonials to see how satisfied previous guests were with your accommodation. If your holiday cottage is tarnished with bad reviews or unsatisfied guests, you’re likely going to struggle to get more people in.
The best way to get fantastic reviews for your property is to give your guests the best stay possible. In order to get a good review, you need to give your guests something to shout about.
Below, we share our top tips for getting the best possible reviews for your holiday cottage.
Provide some welcome essentials
Your property is probably self-catering, but that doesn’t mean you can’t supply a few welcome essentials for your guests. A few small welcome gestures will certainly go a long way. Even leaving a small carton of milk and some tea or coffee so your guests can have a hot drink when they arrive can make all the difference.
You want your guests to know you’ve thought about them and their needs. A few other welcoming touches to consider include:
- A welcome guide packed full of local recommendations and helpful tips for the holiday cottage, such as how to work the heating and use the shower
- A small hamper full of local products, such as biscuits, cheese or wine
- A welcome box of chocolates
Kit out the kitchen
There’s nothing worse than trying to cook up a storm in a kitchen without any of the correct utensils. Make cooking a pleasure in your holiday cottage by providing all of the kitchen equipment your guests need. A set of sharp knives and a high-quality chopping board can make all the difference to the cooking experience, whereas providing guests with champagne glasses can make drinking all the more pleasant!
Focus on sleep with high-quality linen
The best way to get a fantastic review of your holiday cottage is to provide your guests with a good night’s sleep. Everyone needs a good night’s sleep each night, so make sure your guests wake up on the right side of the bed feeling great.
Not only is it crucial to invest in good quality beds and mattresses, but high quality bedding and linen is also a must. The right linen can make all the difference to your guests’ quality of sleep - think fresh, crisp sheets teamed with a soft duvet and comfortable pillows.
