Preparing your pool for guests (host-first tips)
- Clean and maintain: a well-kept pool gets better reviews and repeat bookings.
- Clear rules: post simple pool rules (no glass, supervision of children, shower before entering) and communicate them with guests.
- Amenities matter: provide towels, shade, seating, and a trash can to improve guest experience.
- Optional lifeguard: for larger groups or liability comfort, consider requiring or hiring a lifeguard during bookings.
These small investments increase bookings and ratings while keeping you in control of the guest experience.
