Do you put flowers in guest room, or chocolates on their pillow? Pros and cons of gifts to guests
(This is a post which will be cross-posted on the new Airbnb groups when they roll out in November)
I was wondering whether you give any type of "gift" to your guests, such as putting fresh cut flowers in their room, setting choclates on their pillow, leaving a bottle of nice wine for them in the kitchen. I have read about some hosts doing things like this, but I am also concerned about the possibility of leading guests to expect to get presents. For instance, if I put flowers in one guests' room, and they write about that in their review, then if another guest reads that a previous guest got flowers, and they don't get flowers, they may feel slighted, or rate me down because they didn't get "full service."
Do others have views on or experience with giving "presents" to guests?
