Make Your Airbnb Feel Like a Hotel: Linen Tips
When guests walk into your Airbnb, they expect the same as they would of a hotel: to be greeted with a serene, relaxing environment that offers a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Since restful sleep is a vital part of this experience, choosing high-quality, comfortable sheets is a must.
In this blog, we’ll share our top linen tips for selecting hotel-quality sheets.
Airbnb Hosting Tips: Upgrade with Hotel-Style Sheets
The sheets you choose for your Airbnb are an important part of providing a great experience for your guests. If you’re looking to upgrade your space, investing in hotel-quality bedding is one of the best things you can do.
Choosing the Best Sheets for Your Airbnb
Although it isn’t necessary to splurge on overly expensive sheets, you also don’t want to settle for low-quality ones that may make for an uncomfortable night’s sleep. It can also be tempting to go down the frugal route of using your own sheets, however, we recommend choosing separate ones for your Airbnb guests.
This will ensure that your sheets are free from stains or rips (after all, no one wants to sleep in scruffy sheets!)
The first step to choosing the best sheets for your Airbnb is to choose your material. With the choice of silk, cotton, linen, polyester, or a blend of these materials, it can be tricky to decide.
Cotton sheets tend to be the most popular in both hotels and Airbnbs due to their affordability, durability, and softness. For more guidance on choosing between materials, check out our blog here.
Also important to consider is the thread count of the sheets you choose. The thread count measures the quality of the fabric, and the higher the thread count, the higher the quality of the sheets. The ideal thread count will vary depending on the fabric, which we also explore in more detail in the blog linked above.
Why Hotel-Style Linens Boost Guest Satisfaction
Hotel-style sheets help create a luxurious experience for your guests and increase their satisfaction with their stay as a whole. After all, there’s nothing better than getting a great night’s sleep and waking up refreshed and ready for the next day’s activities.
The more satisfied your guests are with their stay, the more likely they’ll be to leave positive reviews which can help you attract more guests in the future. In addition to serving as valuable social proof, positive reviews also help boost your rankings in Airbnb search which helps you get discovered by more potential guests.
Airbnb Design Ideas: Create a Hotel-Like Experience

Add Hotel-Style Sheets to Your Airbnb Decor
Not only does choosing hotel-style sheets ensure your guests have a great night’s sleep, but they also help to elevate your Airbnb’s decor. Although they might seem understated, pristine white sheets create a sense of serenity and elegance. White sheets are the perfect, versatile option which can be easily styled with coloured throws or cushions to complement your decor.
Simple Tips to Design a Luxury Airbnb
Designing a welcoming Airbnb doesn’t have to be overly expensive, and there are a few simple things you can do to make your Airbnb feel more luxurious. If your property has lots of empty walls, look for art or posters that complement your space.
For example, you could decorate your walls with art or posters inspired by the local area to create a more unique and personalised experience for your guests.
To create a more cohesive space, choose a colour palette and coordinate your decor around it.
To add an extra pop of colour and refresh your space, we also recommend adding low-maintenance plants such as cactus, aloe vera, or ferns.
You don’t have to worry about watering these plants too regularly and they also help create a calming atmosphere. If you don’t want the hassle of maintaining real plants, there are also plenty of realistic faux plants to choose from.
Like a hotel room, your Airbnb should be stocked with all the basic amenities your guests might need. If you want to go above and beyond and create a memorable experience for your guests, upgrading your kitchen appliances or investing in high-quality furniture can make a big difference.
