How to Stock Your Airbnb Bathroom for Five-Star Reviews

When it comes to hosting, the bathroom can make or break your guest’s experience. A spotless, well-stocked bathroom is one of the fastest ways to earn five-star reviews and set your Airbnb apart from the competition.

At BNB Guardians, we teach our clients that creating an unforgettable guest experience is about more than just aesthetics, it’s about anticipating needs, paying attention to details, and turning your property into a space that feels like home.

Here’s your quick guide to stocking your Airbnb bathroom for success.

Airbnb Bathroom Essentials Every Host Needs

Your bathroom should always include the basics:

Fresh Towels – A full set for each guest: bath, hand, and washcloths. Bonus points for a bath mat.
Toilet Paper – Always keep extra rolls in plain sight.
Hand Soap – A full pump bottle by the sink.
Shampoo & Conditioner – Travel-sized or refillable, eco-friendly options work best.
Body Wash or Bar Soap – Guests expect it, even if they bring their own.
Hair Dryer – A simple touch that saves guests from overpacking.
Trash Can & Liners – Small but essential for hygiene.

These are the non-negotiables. If any of them are missing, you risk bad reviews no matter how beautiful your space is.

Going Beyond the Basics

Want to impress guests and stand out in a crowded market? Add thoughtful extras:

Luxury Touches – Bathrobes, slippers, or a heated towel rack.
Personal Care Items – Spare toothbrushes, toothpaste, or feminine products for emergencies.
Aromatics – Candles, essential oils, or a quality air freshener.
Spa Feel – Plants, dimmable lighting, or a bathtub tray for relaxation.

These small upgrades create a wow factor and make guests feel like they’re getting more than they paid for—helping you justify premium Airbnb pricing.

Keep It Clean and Restocked

Even the most luxurious bathroom will flop if it isn’t clean. Stick to this checklist:

Deep Clean After Every Stay – Toilets, showers, sinks, mirrors, and floors.
Fresh Linens Always – Never reuse towels between guests.
Replenish Supplies – Restock toiletries and toilet paper consistently.
Quick Spot Checks – If you manage back-to-back bookings, double-check for hair, stains, or empty bottles.

Pro tip: At BNB Guardians, we recommend automating cleaning schedules with your team or property manager so nothing slips through the cracks.

Final Thoughts

A five-star Airbnb bathroom is about more than soap and towels—it’s about creating a guest experience worth talking about. When guests feel cared for, they’ll reward you with glowing reviews, repeat bookings, and word-of-mouth referrals.
