When it comes to earning 5-star reviews and repeat bookings, the secret isn’t just in the sheets — it’s in the streets. Helping guests experience the best of Cambridge like a local can turn a good stay into an unforgettable one.
The Power of Local Insight
Modern travellers crave authenticity. By offering hyperlocal tips, you:
Build trust: Guests feel looked after when they receive insider advice
Enhance experiences: Visitors get more than just a place to sleep
Stand out: Unique recommendations make your flat more memorable than others
What to Recommend in Cambridge
You don’t need a long list — just a well-curated one. Prioritise hidden gems and personal favourites:
Independent Cafes: Hot Numbers, Bould Brothers, or Fitzbillies for a famous Chelsea bun
Hidden Gardens: The Fellows’ Garden behind Clare College or the Botanic Garden
Free Museum Times: The Fitzwilliam Museum and Museum of Archaeology often have open hours
Day Trips: Grantchester meadows, Ely Cathedral, or even a punt to Stourbridge Common
How to Deliver Recommendations
Convenience and personalisation go a long way. Choose delivery methods that guests can access easily:
Printed Welcome Guides: A small binder or booklet left in the flat
QR Code Maps: Stickers or postcards with links to Google Maps pins
WhatsApp Welcome Messages: Pre-written tips based on guest type (family, couple, business)
Real Examples That Delighted Guests
