How can I properly accommodate a house guest?

I am having a guest over and I would love some tips on how to make them feel right at home and be really comfortable. How do I prepare the house and the guest room/guest bathroom?How can I properly accommodate a house guest?
First make sure the guest bedroom and bathroom are clean and that all the sheets and towels are freshly-laundered. Have an extra blanket and a different type of pillow in the closet in case she doesn't like the pillow that's on the bed. Make sure there's room in the closet for her to hang up her clothing and clear out a dresser drawer for her to use. Remove any clutter or personal items from the guest room and store them somewhere else during her visit.





You could also put a clock-radio in the room and tune it to a radio station you think she might like. Put some books and magazines in the room for her to read.





Make sure the bathroom is stocked with extra toilet paper, a box of tissues and soaps. You could do what hotels do and put a few travel-sized bottles of shampoos conditioner, bath gel and lotions and an emery board and put them in a small basket on the counter. Have a new toothbrush and travel toothpaste on hand in case she forgets to bring her own. A clean shower cap and blow-dryer in the bathroom would be nice, too.





In the kitchen, stock up the fridge with soft drinks and juices, have some fresh fruit, cookies, crackers nuts or other snacks on hand, and let her know that she's welcome to help herself any time if she wants anything to eat or drink. Make sure to show her where the silverware, dishes and utensils are so she doesn't have to fumble around looking for them.





If you live in a tourist destination, it would be a thoughtful touch to provide a few souvenir postcards and postage, a map of your area, souvenir pens or pencils or maybe even some bus tokens or transit passes.How can I properly accommodate a house guest?
To feel welcome at someones house. Generally it is not the physical things that make them feel comfortable.


It is feeling comfortable walking around without hesitation and feeling like an intruder. In which case constantly reminding your guest to feel welcome to a drink or food generally gets the message across that they are one of the family while they are staying with you.
