Three reasons to prepare your Airbnb for the Christmas period

The festive season is one of the busiest periods for travel, with many people heading off for a winter getaway or a long-awaited family reunion. During December, Airbnb and other holiday rentals become highly sought after, making the market both popular and competitive.

Luckily, there are simple and affordable activities you can do to give your Airbnb a festive touch and ensure it is guest-ready for the holiday rush.

What are the Benefits of decorating my Airbnb?

By decorating your Airbnb and taking up-to-date photographs, your property will stand out on the market. The decision to go the extra mile will please guests and maintain positive reviews across booking platforms.

Small additions, such as festive decorations, create memorable stays for guests staying at your property. This will encourage positive reviews, and you will maintain a good reputation for future guests.

As there is increased demand during the festive period, you will be able to set prices accordingly, maximising return on your property.

How can I make my Airbnb festive?

Decorate your property with a Christmas tree, fairy lights, mistletoe and all things festive. This doesn't have to cost a lot, but it will make a significant impact. Consider making decorations yourself or shopping second-hand to minimise costs.

Ensure that your listing is updated with any seasonal features, such as access to a log fire or snow sports equipment (if applicable).

Consider offering a small token of appreciation, such as festive chocolates or Christmas tea bags, to show your gratitude to your guests. Check out these Bristol-based independent boutiques to source unique Christmas gifts:
