Hair dryer is a wise investment (at least for us, as our country is super hot, electricity is extremely very expensive, so majority of the hosts do not provide hair dryers).
If I am the guest, I would like to see what kind of toiletries will be provided. At least the picture should answer my question: Do I really need to bring my own toiletries?
I decorated again with the same ribbon from towels and put the flower that I found on the street :)
First picture is an Invite for a guest to click and book. Everything you can you should display on the first picture. And next 4 pictures are important as well. It was easy for me to do that with professional photographer as his camera catches the most of the space.
We put toilet paper, because... guests do really ask about it. Like how many toilet paper we will provide for 4 people for 3 days? The only thing we didn't expose here is drinking water, because we are getting abused with that. We are in the hot country and water is expensive here, so complimentary amount of water is limited to 1 night only. If you provide whatever you provide- water, fruits, etc - expose everything on the first pictures.
I made a note "Enjoy your stay", cost me almost nothing. Just printed it the note, and placed it on colorful paper using glue. Ribbons are also so inexpensive, and I put them everywhere I can. It's important to make the guest feel that someone is waiting for him here and someone cares. It was a nice experience to see those ribbons on the bed lamp, when the lady guest left the place it looked untouched with "thank you" in form of ribbon on the lamp :)
The lesson is do not use unnessesary items, as they might make the place look not clean and be a reason for additional complaints (bad reviews). I chose the lamp, because my guests told me it's a nice to have one (it's nice to have the guests who love to read too!) and there are many pluses:
I think they are really necessary. Guests will not use them (from my experience), but they make pictures very adorable and show that the host is professional and really set up the place for guests.
In old ages they were used as the place to put the luggage, but let's go in our modern times. I chose the blue color, because it appeals to any age and gender. It looks refreshing, not tiring to the eyes and associates well with relaxation and ocean (though we are in the middle of overpopulated city).
I chose the fabric (made in Turkey) myself, and found someone to sew. It didn't cost much, but if you are running on small budget, you can use colorful scarves for women or put colorful blanket in such a way that it will look like bed scarf :)

BED LAMP:
The lesson is do not use unnessesary items, as they might make the place look not clean and be a reason for additional complaints (bad reviews). I chose the lamp, because my guests told me it's a nice to have one (it's nice to have the guests who love to read too!) and there are many pluses:
1) has real use
2) makes the space cozy, romantic and homey
3) serves as an art
