As Airbnb hosts, we know that part of what draws guests to rent with us over traditional hotels is that we provide a homey experience. Guests really do want the “bed and breakfast” feel. My guess is that you’ve got the “bed” part nailed down, but what about the “breakfast”?
Providing a functional, inviting kitchen to your guests will help elevate their rental experience and earn you that coveted 5-star review. Nowadays, many people prefer the experience of cooking their own food on vacation rather than eating out for every meal. This means that guests expect a well-stocked kitchen with a wide variety of cooking supplies. But is your Airbnb’s kitchen ready to accommodate that? Keep reading to find out.

Appliance Essentials for Any Airbnb or Short Term Rental
Refrigerator & Oven
It’s very likely that if your Airbnb has a kitchen, it already has a fridge and oven. However, if your kitchen does not yet have these all-important appliances, you’ll definitely need to get them ASAP. A mini fridge-freezer combo is a very affordable option to start out with, and works great in a tight space. It’s highly energy efficient and has plenty of space for leftovers and beverages.

This one by Cosori has an incredibly sleek look and features an LED light indicator and a safety shut-off. It also does not allow itself to be turned on without water inside, saving you and your guests from accidental mishaps.

Electric Mixer
An electric mixer is what will really elevate your Airbnb’s kitchen experience to the next level. It will allow guests to do their own baking, which is a huge bonus that most don’t expect. Choose a bright red for a pop of color, or the classic stainless steel for a sleek, timeless look.

Coffee Maker
Coffee makers are standard in hotel rooms these days, although they’re not typically recognized for their quality. Take your rental’s experience a step up by investing in a high-quality machine. This one, by Breville, makes tasty and elegant espresso on demand. It uses pods, so there’s no messy cleanup.

While not technically an appliance, a water filter pitcher is something your guests will certainly use and appreciate multiple times a day. Even if your local tap water is the highest quality, most guests just feel more comfortable knowing their water has been filtered.
Airbnb Cooking Supplies
You won’t get very far cooking without some nice pots and pans. This set makes cooking (and cleaning) a pleasure. All nonstick, this set has everything your guests will need to cook the meal of their dreams.

Colander
Pasta is always a popular meal to cook amongst Airbnb guests. It only takes a few ingredients and a few dishes to throw together a fantastic meal. I always like to have a few basic options such as spaghetti and macaroni on hand for guests to use. Be sure to provide a colander for a hassle-free dinner.

Meat Thermometer
A meat thermometer is something a lot of us like to imagine we’ll never use. The reality is that this little tool is indispensable, especially if your rental has a grill. Give your guests the peace of mind that comes with knowing that their meat is cooked to perfection. This very affordable option reads in just 3-5 seconds and even comes with a 3-year warranty.

Meat probe and wire can withstand temp from -58°F to 572°F (-50°C to 300°C).
Cooking Oils
Even when guests come expecting to cook, they rarely are able to bring their own supplies. Fresh food can easily be purchased locally, but few guests are going to want to spend money on supplies they won’t use up during their stay. Having a cooking oil set on hand alleviates this issue. Simply fill with oil and vinegar and your guests can do the rest.

Spice Rack
Another ingredient that can be prohibitively expensive for guests to buy on their own is spices. Most will only use a few teaspoons at a time (if that), so having a well-stocked spice rack at their disposal is easy and convenient.

Another option is a small hook on the side of the fridge or cabinet, alongside other useful tools.

Dishware Essentials
As a host, you don’t want to be spending time and money constantly replacing broken dishes. Get yourself a set of heavy-duty dishes like these to avoid the hassle.

Coffee Mugs
Your Airbnb should be a unique experience for your guests. After all, if they wanted to stay at a boring hotel, they would have. Having some fun mugs in your cabinet can give them an unexpected laugh in the morning. Mix and match until you have an eclectic set. It’s great when each guest can find something fun that matches their personality!

Wine Glasses
Wine glasses are another fun way to make your rental stand out from the rest. Having a classic set is always a good idea, but I also like to have some that are a little more unique. Stemless glasses are very trendy at the moment, and there are a plethora of shops that offer customized etching so that you can really make an impression on your guests.

Miscellaneous Airbnb Kitchen Essentials
Trash Can

Food Storage
Food storage is less glamorous, but still an absolute necessity. This enormous set has more than enough pieces to store your guests’ leftovers. They stack very nicely in the fridge and cabinets for easy storage.
Attractive countertop food storage serves the two-fold purpose of function and style. I love these containers by OXO. The lid forms an airtight seal with a single, satisfying click. They are also very modular and can be arranged so that they’re very visually appealing. This allows you to store commonly used ingredients like pasta, flour, sugar or coffee in plain sight on the counter. In a way, it almost functions as an art piece itself.
Amazon.com
- Set includes: one 2.1-qt Container, one 1.5-qt Container, two 0.9-qt Containers, and one 0.3-qt Container

Wall Art
Speaking of art, no kitchen is complete without a few stylized pieces on the wall. These botanical herb prints are unobtrusive yet very appropriately themed. They would work well in any kitchen space, and it’s possible to display just two or three at a time instead of the full set of six if your kitchen is short on space.

- Hand-made in our North Carolina studio
- 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Return with no questions asked, so there is absolutely no risk in your purchase!
- Printed on high-performance linen paper

Towels
Hand towels should always be included in your kitchen, ideally in a few different locations. I like to keep one by the sink, a few on the oven door, and some extras stored away. This set of 4 is enough to get you started and is extremely affordable. Consider purchasing a few so you’ll always have clean ones ready.

Coffee Pod Organizer
A coffee pod organizer is a must-have if your Airbnb features a single-serve coffee maker. Rummaging through a drawer for the flavor you’re craving is not exactly ideal. The K-Cup Carousel takes up very little counter space but still holds 35 pods! I recommend stocking a variety of options: flavored, unflavored, decaf, and tea.
Free shipping
Amazon.com
- COFFEE POD CAROUSEL: This Nifty carousel is compatible with K-Cups and stylishly showcases up to 35 of your favorite coffee pods. The lazy Susan base platform revolves and spins 360-degrees, which makes it simple and convenient to find and choose your preferred flavor.
- MODERN DESIGN: The modern, black powder-coated design looks fantastic on the countertop in the kitchen, your dorm room, or in the office coffee bar. Even the heaviest of coffee drinkers will want this carousel to easily brew a cup of coffee.
Coffee Syrups
Coffee syrups are a really special amenity to offer. They allow guests to have their own mini-barista experience without the fancy equipment. However, you do get host bonus points if you offer more than one way to make coffee in your Airbnb! If you currently have a single-serve coffee maker, something else like a French press allows guests more control over their morning brew.

Snack Board

Dish Drying Rack
Using a dish drying rack is so much faster and easier than towel drying all your dishes, pots, and pans. Who wouldn’t want more free time to go out and explore a new city? This one has a relatively small footprint of just over one square foot and features a compartment for silverware as well.

Plastic Bag Dispenser
A plastic bag dispenser is a much better option than the classic “bag full of bags” that most of us have under our sinks. Guests can use these for tons of different purposes: dirty laundry, souvenir bags, extra shopping bags, and more. Just be sure to let them know where it is!
Amazon.com
- Convenient Storage - Easily access your plastic grocery bags with this handy storage solution, perfect for keeping your reusable bags neat and all in one place.

In short, it varies. The main factor to consider is your insurance. Some policies do allow hosts to provide alcohol to guests, while some explicitly forbid it. In these cases, if you did provide the guests with alcohol and an incident occurred, your insurance may not cover it. Always check to be sure.
If your insurance does allow it, providing a local wine or craft beer is an awesome touch. If not, a guide to local vineyards or breweries shows guests that you care about them having a great time.
It is typically not expected, but some basic supplies will surely be welcome. Things like cooking oil and spices can be used over many different bookings, whereas something basic but perishable like eggs or milk would obviously need to be replenished more frequently. You can always ask your guests in advance if there is any particular thing they would like you to have on hand.
