Top 5 short-term rental amenities that boost bookings

Want to boost your short-term rental bookings and earn glowing reviews? It’s all about the amenities. Today’s travellers aren’t just looking for a place to sleep—they want an experience. From high-speed Wi-Fi to a well-equipped coffee station, the right amenities can turn a good stay into something truly memorable.

In this guide, we’ll tell you about the top five must-have amenities that guests love, how to make your property even better, and why working with a professional management company like MadeComfy can take your short-term rental to the next level.

Upgrading your property’s amenities

Before listing your top amenities, it’s important to understand what makes them stand out. Guests expect cleanliness, comfort, and convenience, but the little extras make your property shine.

Let’s start by taking a look at your current setup.

  • Is your Wi-Fi fast and reliable? A slow connection is a deal-breaker for remote workers.
  • Are the kitchen essentials covered? Think quality cookware and basic pantry staples.
  • Does your property feel like a home? Soft towels, extra blankets, and blackout curtains go a long way.

Small upgrades can lead to higher occupancy rates and better reviews, so focus on what guests truly value.
