The term "Self-Service" can be misunderstood. Let's be brutally clear about what it means here. This isn't just a list of chores; it's an invitation to a different way of traveling.
The "Self-Service" Foundation: The Price of Admission
This is the baseline, the absolute minimum. You use the kitchen, you clean it immaculately for the next person. You use the bathroom, you leave it sparkling. You make a mess, you un-make it. You sort your garbage correctly. You follow the clear, simple instructions posted throughout the house. This is the simple social contract that makes our affordable prices possible.
The "Plus" Factor: The Heart of the Guardian
This is where the magic happens. This is where you transcend from a mere guest to a true Guardian of the sanctuary. The "Plus" is the voluntary, proactive act of doing a little bit more.
It's wiping down a counter you didn't use, just because you saw a crumb.
It's straightening the pillows in the shared living room.
It's taking a moment to organize the linen cupboard when you get fresh sheets.
It's the collective, conscious effort that transforms our house into a vibrant, cared-for home.
The space you walk into is a direct reflection of the Guardian who came before you. The "Plus" factor is your promise to leave it a little more sparkling, a little more welcoming for the traveler who follows in your footsteps.
