Guests do not scroll through every listing. They tap a filter, like hot tub, EV charger or self check-in, and only see the homes that have it. The fastest way to win more bookings is to own the amenities guests filter for, then make them shine in your photos.
We see thousands of rentals through WelcomeScreen, and these are the upgrades that consistently move the needle. You can find all of them, ranked by booking impact, on STR Market's list of the best Airbnb products.
A hot tub is one of the most searched amenities on Airbnb, and turning it on unlocks the hot tub filter. AirDNA found that listings with a hot tub earned 38% more revenue per available night than similar listings without one. Skip inflatable spas, which do not hold up to back-to-back guests. A permanent hard-shell tub like the AquaLife Palm Beach is built for year-round use. Budget for a dedicated 240V circuit and a level pad.
EV owners filter for chargers and often book longer stays. A home charger is a small install that puts you in front of a growing group of travelers.
The fire pit at night is often the photo that sells the stay. A low-smoke model keeps guests comfortable and makes your outdoor space feel like a destination.
An arcade cabinet, ping pong table or pool table turns your listing into the obvious pick for families and friend groups.
Weak WiFi is one of the most common complaints in reviews. A mesh system puts a strong signal in every bedroom and on the patio, which matters for remote workers.
A pod espresso machine with a milk frother gets mentioned in five-star reviews far more often than a basic drip maker.
Crisp white sheets, extra pillows and mattress protectors make the bed look great in photos and hold up to constant washing.
Guests sleep better, and better sleep shows up in your reviews.
Self check-in is one of the most popular Airbnb filters, and a smart lock with unique guest codes means no lost keys and no lockbox headaches.
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit protect your guests and your listing. STR Market's starter kits bundle them so you can buy everything in one click.
Guests ask the same questions every stay: the WiFi password, checkout time, where to park. WelcomeScreen puts your guidebook, house rules and local tips right on the TV so they have answers before they think to message you.
Running out of toilet paper or coffee pods is an easy way to lose a five-star review. Keep a simple restock list for your cleaners and buy in bulk.
If you are setting up a new listing, start with the essentials, then add one revenue booster at a time and update your listing photos and amenities after each one.
