Airbnb Amenities Checklist for Puerto Rico Hosts

In short-term rentals, reviews are everything, and reviews are won in the details. A guest will forgive a small bathroom, but not running out of toilet paper at 11 p.m. Getting your Airbnb amenities right is the difference between "it was fine" and "we'd come back in a heartbeat."

This Airbnb amenities checklist is built for hosts in Puerto Rico—beach apartments, countryside houses, rooms in Old San Juan—and organized by area with suggested quantities per stay, so you can restock without guessing.

Bathroom amenities

• Hand and body soap: one bar per bathroom plus a spare. Dove soap is a brand guests recognize.
• Shampoo, conditioner and body wash in dispensers or travel size.
• Toilet paper: two rolls per bathroom plus two visible spares.
• Cotton swabs: travel-case cotton swabs look neat and clean.
• Bath puffs: a new one per guest. AW Care bath puffs come in several colors.
• Towels: one bath and one hand towel per guest, plus a bath mat. The 2-piece Island Hopper bath mat set fits the island vibe.
• Makeup wipes so your white towels survive.

Kitchen amenities

• Coffee and a way to make it: the most appreciated amenity. A 4 oz Yaucono coffee per stay and a greca to brew it. Leave instructions, or link guests to our guide on how to use a greca.
• Mugs and glassware: at least double the number of guests. Puerto Rico ceramic mugs add personality, and gold-rimmed glasses elevate the stay.
• Disposables for the beach or to-go: biodegradable plates, disposable cups and napkins.
• Cleaning basics: scrubbers, dish soap and disinfecting wipes.
• Storage: reusable zipper bags and an ice cube tray, which gets used all day in island heat.
• Kitchen towels: a Boricua kitchen towel is useful and decorative.

Bedroom amenities

• Two sets of sheets per bed (one on, one spare).
• Extra pillows and a light blanket for the A/C.
• A night light like the i-Zoom night light, so no one trips at night.
• Plenty of hangers and space for a suitcase.
• Outlets within reach: a 6-outlet wall adapter or an extension cord by the bed so guests don't unplug the fridge to charge a phone.

Light, power and outages

Every host in Puerto Rico knows the power can go out. Being ready is part of the service, and guests notice:

• Candles and matches: a pack of 50 tealight candles and long wooden matches somewhere visible.
• A lantern: the 600-lumen collapsible LED lantern lights a whole room.
• Rechargeable fans: a rechargeable fan with light per room can save a hot night without A/C.
• A short note on what to do if the power goes out and who to call.

For the beach

• Beach towels separate from bath towels. Puerto Rico beach towels are big, colorful and photogenic.
• A cooler or insulated bag.
• A head umbrella is a fun touch for kids.

The Boricua welcome

A local welcome is what turns a good stay into a memorable one. A tray with coconut pilones or other Puerto Rican candy, island coffee and a handwritten note cost little and show up in reviews. Going further? A Puerto Rico keychain as the house key holder is a keepsake guests take home.

How to organize restocking

• Track usage per stay and multiply by your monthly bookings.
• Buy in volume once a month. Orders over $100 get 10% off automatically in the cart, no code needed. For a host who restocks monthly, that adds up.
• Use free shipping: within Puerto Rico, shipping is free on orders over $40.
• One place for everything: amenities, disposables, cleaning and Boricua touches are in our Hotels and Airbnb collection, with more in wholesale.
