Airbnb Bedroom Essentials (Ultimate Guide) For Great Reviews
Looking for Airbnb bedroom essentials that will help you get a Five-Star rating? Here are our favorites your guests are sure to love.
One of the many industries that took a hit during the Big C was AirBNB. It’s taking a minute to get back to normal but many people are starting to travel again.
The only thing is NOW travel looks a little different. We have found that many are choosing to travel closer to home by car.
That said if you have been thinking about creating an Airbnb rental in your home now is the time!
On several occasions, I’ve stayed in a bedroom/ bathroom space that did NOT have a separate entrance. I never interacted with the host in person at either location even though I entered through the front door.
The reason I mention this is that although it’s ideal… your space does NOT need a separate entrance.
Now for the reason, you are here!
This post is all about The Ultimate List Of Airbnb Bedroom Essentials.

One of the first things on your Airbnb Essentials list is a keyless lock. It’s better than just having a lockbox with a separate key because it makes it super easy for guests to enter your property.
There are several options to choose from in this category. Signstek is one of the best in the business. No matter the type of door you have they have a style for you.
Below are the three options that I have in my home. They’re great because we just give guests the current access code and they’re good to go.
Airbnb Keyless Door Knob Locks
If you’re still using the classic key access for your guest room Airbnb you should consider either the touchscreen keypad or digital keyless door knob. It’s not only practical but it’s sure to impress guests too!
Level up the look to your Airbnb bedroom, apartment, or full house space with a new keyless lock today!

Must Have Airbnb Bedroom Essentials
When it comes to your Airbnb bedroom design you’ll want to create a space with style and personality.
Your place will get more views if you have amazing pictures and unique space.
Remember people will scroll through, stop at the pictures, and then read the reviews.
If your space stands out you will get a higher rate, consistent bookings, repeat guests, recommendations, and awesome 5-Star reviews.
Speaking from experience.
The neutral contemporary design featured will create a very calming experience for your guests.
It is simple but has personality and style which is what you are after.
Now for all the featured products.
1. Head Board
This channel-tufted headboard is a medium tone grey which contrasts nicely against greige Classic Gray walls.
This is the color we painted the Willow House Airbnb in an eggshell finish.
The trim color is Simply White in a semi-gloss finish.
Using a linen tufted upholstered headboard helps create an elevated hotel feel for your space.
Side note: I reversed the headboard’s direction so the top edge is straight.
Airbnb Bedroom Essentials Ebook
This ebook will give you 20 Secrets For a Profitable Airbnb Design. It was created as we went through the process of hosting.
With each guest, we learned more about how to improve the experience.
Happy and proud to say we have been Super Hosts since the beginning and have 60 5-star reviews to date.
Upholstered Platform Bed Frame Option
If you have more in the budget this upholstered bed is great and will not require a bed skirt.
7. Desk
Having a small desk area in your space if room allows will attract business executives or those clients who may need to jump on their laptops during their stay.
This is also a great place to store the welcome binder which includes useful information for your guests to get around and know the rules of your home.
One of the many important Airbnb Bedroom essentials I’d recommend!
12. Drapes
These drapes are from West Elm and have a blackout liner for guests who prefer to sleep in.
If you are creative and looking for a project check out the post Best IKEA Curtain Hack (TikTok Made Me Do It).
We also have roller shades from the shade store behind the panels for additional privacy.
13. Curtain Rod
Gold curtain rods, of course, to tie back to the accents in the room! These are a less expensive version than the West Elm rods I also love.
15. Pillow Cover
The pillow covers are also from Amazon and help your renters know they are sleeping on sanitary bedding which is important to most.
This is another thing high on the Airbnb bedroom essentials list.
Start out with new pillows for your guests and replace them as they wear.
Remember how you would feel laying your head on pillows that are worn down, Not so good right?!
16. Bed Skirt Airbnb Bedroom Essentials
Having a bed skirt to cover the bottom of the bed is best, especially if your frame is metal or you need to have anything stored under the bed.
It also helps create a more elevated look for your space.
We have beach chairs stored under the bed now so the skirt helps hide those. You can also store bins underneath if you need additional storage.
18. Gray rug
The gray ombre rug is perfect to add contrast against the white bedding and light greige walls. This will also add warmth to your space.
A rug will help will sound control if you have living space under the Airbnb room.
โข Rug Pad Slip Area Rug Pad 8×10 Ft
To protect your floor a rug pad is recommended.
20. Airbnb Bedroom Essentials Metal Garment Rack
If you donโt have space in your closet for guests to use or if the room doesnโt have a closet this is perfect.
We eliminated a closet so this addition worked out perfectly.
Don’t forget to supply the hangers too.
21. Inspirational Artwork Airbnb Bedroom Essentials
I love inspirational artwork and quotes and this one just reminds your guest to remember to breathe!
Another option here would be this decal version of the same saying which is also super cute!
We used this exact one in our Airbnb and it came out fabulous.
This post will help you with the installation How To Apply Vinyl Decals Like A Pro In 9 Easy Steps.
24. Velvet Pillows Airbnb Bedroom Essentials
I would purchase two of these pillows and have them placed in front of the white pillow shams.
โข Pillow Fill: 28″ L X 28″ W, Standard/White
Since the Grey velvet pillows are liners only you are going to want pillow fills that are at least 2โ larger than your cover. These are hypoallergenic again for allergy purposes.
27. Airbnb Bedroom Essentials Welcome Packet
As mentioned above your desk is a great place to store your Welcome Packet.
Now again since we are working smarter and not harder these days purchase the template to save time! Just drag and drop in Canva to make the changes.
Extra Airbnb Bedroom Essentials
In addition to the above bedroom essentials, these are the extras we added to make our Airbnb stand out from the crowd. We don’t need the full list of Airbnb kitchen essentials but we have a few extras.
28. Coffee Maker
Always needed especially if you love your coffee as much as I do!
Don’t forget to supply a variety of coffee options. Trust me this and a fridge stocked with creamer and water bottles will help get those five-star ratings.
29. Electric Kettle
In addition to the Keurig if you have space add a tea kettle. I have thought about also adding Cup of Noodles but my husband said don’t go crazy.
I’m secretly still thinking about adding them. Ha!
Click the link below if you want to list a rental property or your home this year. As an Airbnb Ambassador, I can mentor you right on the Airbnb platform for free.
Adding passive income to your revenue stream is a great way to beat the current inflation situation. Just saying!!
30. Tea Set
We supply our guests with tea in addition to coffee. A pretty box is great for keeping the packets neat and organized. This glass top is a great visual too.
31. Mini Fridge
This is a great idea if you prefer to NOT share your Kitchen with your guests. Keep creamer for the coffee and water for guests.
Side note we do not supply regular milk because it tends to spoil. We did in the beginning but found we were constantly tossing bad milk.
Since Airbnb is about passive income this was not cost-effective.
36. Grab Bar
This really would go in the Airbnb bathroom section but we have a separate post on that. The bathroom was recently remodeled to have a shower instead of a tub so we no longer need the grab bar.
My father was the one who brought it to our attention. He is older and needed something to grab when he entered the shower.
It’s a nice touch if you host older guests.
37. Hamper
This was a recent purchase and I have to say it is a super cute addition. I plan to add another to hold the beach towels rolled up.
The last guest we had placed the dirty towels in the basket. It worked out perfectly.
I did add a label that said “Laundry” so it was clear.
41. Door Draft Stopper
In addition to the plastic stopper we have on the Airbnb side of the room, we have this on the main house side.
Again it just keeps the noise from both areas to a minimum.
42. Fire Stick
This is a MUST especially if you don’t have cable. So many people have cut TV out of their lives (I have) but others love to binge-watch Netflix.
Hopefully, your guests did not come to watch TV but at night they will want to unwind.
Side note not having regular TV will NOT be an issue for most guests. They will just be forced to go out and watch the game.
43. Towels
Again this is in the bathroom but a reminder to always have a stash of clean white towels.
Wash them with bleach and they will last a long time.
44. Bath Mat
This was another request from my father. The last thing you want is for someone to slip and fall in the shower.
You can never be too safe so if you have a tub get one of these mats for the bottom.
45. Scented Oil
No products found.Lastly, adding scented oils is just another way your guests will know they are staying in a freshly cleaned space.
The smell is also fabulous in my opinion.
46. Safe Box
To make guests feel comfortable add a safe for their valuables. This safe is perfect to store in the Airbnb bedroom or closet.
This is another hotel quality extra that Airbnb guests will appreciate. I hope anyone considering hosting an AIRBNB rental finds this helpful.

Dominican Republic Airbnb
We just listed a second Airbnb in Santiago, Dominican Republic. I’m sharing this news because it was not 100% complete when we listed it on the Airbnb site. We improved it to what it is now but wanted to start getting traction.
The point is you can always update the images and details but take action and get it listed. The quicker you list the better your chances of getting booked.
Progress over perfection my friends!!
Click the link to see the completed space. It has a neutral modern vibe that will appeal to the masses. It’s not exactly childproof so we’ll see how the bookings go.
So far it’s been couples and to date, there have been 8 bookings all with great reviews. We just need two more for Super Host status which will bump the listing higher in search results.
Once the Dominican Republic Airbnb has super host status we will also raise the price. We have found it best to keep it on the low side to attract bookings.
