The Overlooked Details That Cost You Money
Outdated design, missing amenities, and ignored details quietly kill your bookings and reviews. Here are some of the most common mistakes we fix—and how they add up to real revenue gains.
1. Design & Atmosphere
Blinds → Curtains: Floor-to-ceiling curtains add instant polish.
Mismatched Furniture → Cohesive Sets: Creates flow and looks high-end in photos.
Old Faucets & Hardware → Modern Fixtures: Subtle but powerful upgrades.
Bad Lighting → Stylish Cozy Fixtures: Lighting that feels good and photographs beautifully.
Bare Walls → Art & Mirrors: Adds warmth, depth, and “Instagram corners.”
Cold Spaces → Plants & Textiles: Rugs, cushions, and greenery transform sterile into inviting.
2. Guest-First Amenities
Work-from-Home Nooks: Desk, ergonomic chair, ring light — essential for today’s travelers.
Coffee Stations: Nespresso, mugs, creamers, and sugar stocked + styled.
Games & Activities: Board games, cards, or local flavor add personality.
Welcome Touches: Champagne bottle, bottled water, or a snack basket create instant delight.
Stocked Kitchens: Sharp knives, wine opener, stemless glasses, spices, and olive oil.
Blackout Curtains, Quality Bedding, & Comfortable Mattresses: Rest is everything for reviews.
Guest Guidebooks: Stylish quick-start guide with helpful tips and local knowledge.
3. Smart Hospitality Tech
Fast Wi-Fi & Chargers: A must-have. Add labeled outlets for ease.
Smart Locks: Contactless, secure, and stress-free.
Smart Thermostat & Lighting: Comfort without hassle.
Noise & Smoke Monitors: Protects your property and guest experience.
Luggage Scales & Charging Stations: Thoughtful, photo-worthy touches.

4. Outdoor Upgrades
Fire Pits & BBQs: Invite connection and photos.
String Lights + Privacy Screens: Easy mood-makers for patios and yards.
Outdoor Seating That’s Inviting: Think “lounge-worthy,” not plastic chairs.
Photo Walls or Art Corners: Shareable backdrops that encourage tags.
Outdoor Games: Cornhole, paddle ball, or lawn games create memories.
5. Listing Relaunch
