**Warmth and Welcome:**

- Show genuine interest in getting to know them and ask open-ended questions to stimulate conversation.
**Attentiveness:**
- Be attentive to the needs of guests and try to anticipate them.
- Respond promptly to requests and questions.
**Cleanliness and Order:**
- Maintain a clean and tidy environment.
- Ensure that the guest's room is well-prepared before their arrival.
**Comfort:**
- Provide comfort through elements such as quality towels, clean sheets, and a pleasant environment.
- If possible, offer extra services such as chocolates, water in the room, or small welcome gifts.
**Personalization:**
- Try to learn about guests' preferences, such as any allergies or dietary preferences.
- Customize the experience based on individual needs.
**Useful Information:**
- Provide useful information about the area, such as local restaurants, tourist attractions, transportation, etc.
- Make informative materials or guides available.
**Privacy and Respect:**
- Respect guests' privacy.
- Provide clear instructions on how things work in your home or facility.
**Clear Communication:**

Creating a hospitable experience is an ongoing process that requires attention to detail and a service-oriented mindset. When guests feel welcomed and comfortable, they are more likely to have a positive stay and return in the future. It's a source of pride when someone leaves a tangible "sign" of appreciation for what you've done for them. Be proud and share it with everyone.
