What are amenities and how to choose the perfect ones for your tourist apartment

If you have a tourist apartment, whether you've had it for a long time or you're new to the sector, it's possible that you've been recommended to use amenities to improve the image of your accommodation and your services. But what are amenities

What are amenities

Amenity means “comforts” in English, which is where this word comes from, which we have adopted in the Spanish language. Amenities are those welcome objects that you may have seen on your travels when staying, for example, in a hotel. They facilitate the stay and are a small detail that makes the guest feel welcome.

How to choose the amenities perfect for your tourist accommodation or rural house

There are a wide variety of amenities for your tenants and, to choose, you must consider what your target is, the type of accommodation you offer

Bathroom amenities

They are the most common to find and guests like to know that they will have them at their disposal after their arrival, thus saving space in their luggage.The basic pack usually includes gel, shampoo and body cream in mini format.But more and more hosts are expanding the selection by adding, for example, hair conditioner, cologne and hand soap.Although the list of products you can choose from is much more extensive (dental floss and toothbrush, shower cap, shaving lotion...). If you want your guests to leave satisfied and thinking they've been in the perfect apartment don't forget to always include a well-elaborated bathroom set in your range of amenities.

Amenities for cleaning

Offering people who are going to stay in your tourist apartment a package of single-dose cleaning products is always a good idea. The certainty of knowing that no one else has used the scouring pad, dishwasher, and cloth before gives your customers peace of mind. In this way you offer them guarantee that you have strict hygiene and safety measures in your accommodation.

Amenities for stationery and tourism

Like a notepad and pen, both screen printed with the name of your accommodation. In this way you also take advantage of making yourself known, since these products will surely return home with them.Don't forget to leave information about the place, tourist guides or maps; it's a detail that many appreciate.

Amenities for food

It is highly recommended to include these amenities in a rural house. Especially if it's a bit far from certain services, such as supermarkets. A small basket containing single servings of, for example, milk, oil, sugar, salt, vinegar, saccharin, and a packet of cookies, could help your valued guests in a tight spot at some point.Now that you know what amenities are, remember that presenting them in an attractive, elegant, and well-cared-for manner is important; it's essential to leave them in plain sight so your guests can find them quickly. These details will delight the most demanding clients, who will be delighted from the very first moment of their arrival.We also recommend that you install a smart lock to avoid physical contact and control access remotely.
