Let’s be honest—as a short-term rental (STR) host or property manager (PM), you’re not just offering a place to stay. You’re curating a guest experience. And in today’s market, that experience can (and should) come with high-margin upsells that boost revenue without adding operational drag.
Thanks to platforms like Jurny, many of these upsells can be fully automated through AI and in-app guest journeys. Here are the top 10 upsells that deliver exceptional value—for both your guests and your bottom line.
